Kelly

Female · Kitten · 4 months

Kelly came to us as a found animal, bringing four little kittens along with her. She was an amazing mother and not only raised her own kittens but also three stray kittens of the same age. Now that the little ones are becoming independent, it’s time for Kelly to start her own life. You can also tell that she’s no longer eager to fulfill her maternal duties. She’s a loving and friendly cat, and we’re looking for a nice home for her—with the possibility of eventually being allowed outdoors—in a low-traffic area. If you’re interested in adopting Kelly, please feel free to send us a detailed email.

Kelly kam als Fundtier zu uns und hatte vier kleine Kätzchen im Gepäck. Sie war eine tolle Mutter und hat nicht nur ihre eigenen, sondern auch drei fremde Kitten im gleichen Alter aufgezogen. Jetzt werden die Kleinen flügge und es ist für Kelly an der Zeit, in ein eigenes Leben zu starten. Man merkt auch, dass sie keine Lust mehr auf ihre Mutterpflichten hat. Sie ist eine liebe und freundliche Katze, für die wir ein schönes Plätzchen mit späterem Freigang in einer verkehrsberuhigten Gegend suchen. Wenn Sie sich für die Adoption von Kelly interessieren, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche Mail.

About Kelly

What life with Kelly looks like

Kelly is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Bergheim 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 Bergheim 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 Bergheim 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.
