Adopt Kelly

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Kelly is an open-minded, but sometimes still a bit skeptical female cat who loves to explore her surroundings on her own. She gets along well with Baghira and could also move out with her - but that is not a must. Kelly is looking for a home with later outdoor access, where she is welcome to be exactly as she is: independent, friendly and with a little bit of individuality. A cat who quietly but permanently wins a heart.

Read original (de)

Kelly ist eine aufgeschlossene, aber manchmal noch etwas skeptische Katzendame, die es liebt, ihre Umgebung auf eigene Faust zu erkunden. Sie versteht sich gut mit Baghira und könnte auch gemeinsam mit ihr ausziehen – das ist aber kein Muss. Kelly sucht ein Zuhause mit späterem Freigang, in dem sie willkommen ist, so zu sein, wie sie ist: selbstständig, freundlich und mit einem kleinen Funken Eigenwillen. Eine Katze, die ihr Herz leise, aber dauerhaft gewinnt.

About Kelly

What life with Kelly looks like

Kelly is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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 Kelly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kelly?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Northeim handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kelly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kelly if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Northeim 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 Kelly 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 Kelly 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 Northeim early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kelly 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.
