Kaya

Female · Adult · 7 years

Kaya was found and no owner claimed it. Kaya often appears very moody and she will also quickly use her claws if she gets too much. We suspect, however, that this behavior stems from bad experiences with people. For example, Kaya reacts very defensively to brooms or similar objects. Who knows what she has already experienced. We are looking for a caretaker for Kaya who already has some experience in handling cats. She should not be placed in a family with children. Kaya cannot stand other cats and she wants her new home to be hers alone. While she is used to having free roam, she would also like to have that again. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Kaya wurde aufgefunden und es meldete sich kein Besitzer. Kaya wirkt oft sehr launisch und sie setzt auch schnell ihre Krallen ein wenn ihr etwas zu viel wird. Wir vermuten aber, dass dieses Verhalten aus schlechten Erfahrungen mit dem Menschen rührt. Kaya reagiert z.B. sehr abwehrend auf Besen oder ähnliche Gegenstände. Wer weiß was sie schon erleben musste. Wir suchen für Kaya Halter, die bereits etwas Erfahrung im Umgang mit Katzen mitbringen. Sie sollte auch nicht in eine Familie mit Kindern ziehen. Andere Katzen kann Kaya gar nicht leiden und sie möchte ihr neues zu Hause unbedingt für sich allein haben. Das sie Freigang gewohnt ist, möchte sie diesen auch gern wieder bekommen.

About Kaya

What life with Kaya looks like

Kaya is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Braunschweig in Braunschweig.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kaya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kaya?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Braunschweig handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kaya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kaya if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Braunschweig will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Kaya already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Kaya isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Braunschweig early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kaya and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
