Kendra

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Gender: Female, neutered Since we have had her: 7.11.2024 Characteristics: Suitable for a pure farm cat/mouse catcher, requires quiet, patient people, no small children, will only be rehomed together with her sister Kiara Companion: Timid, shy, reserved, cautious Kendra was born outdoors with her sister Kiara and lived outdoors until her 6th month of life, already learning from her mother that humans are weird and scary. The fear of bipeds was almost instilled in her from birth. However, we have not given up on the two of them; our animal caretaker regularly tries to establish contact with the two young cat girls. Sometimes it works, but most often, we are met with their beautiful red/white cat sisters' hisses. They also generally take off running when we enter the room. For this reason, we could also present the two sisters as active mouse catchers on a farm, where they would get along well with other cats. If there are people out there who are willing to take on the challenge of socializing the two with humans, they should bring calmness, time, patience, and a lot of understanding. No expectations should be placed on the two, and they should live in a quiet household. And who knows, maybe the two will eventually thank their humans with trust and affection.

Geschlecht: Katze, Kastriert Bei uns seit: 7.11.2024 Merkmale: Als reine Hofkatze/Mäusefängerin geeignet, benötigt ruhige, geduldige Menschen, keine kleinen Kinder, wird nur mit Schwester Kiara zusammen vermittelt Charakter: Ängstlich, schüchtern, zurückhaltend, vorsichtig Kendra wurde mit ihrer Schwester Kiara draussen geboren und hat bis zu ihrem 6 Lebensmonat draussen gelebt. Bereits durch ihre Mama hat sie gelernt, dass wir Menschen unheimlich und gruselig sind. Die Scheu vor Zweibeinern wurde ihr quasi in die Wiege gelegt. Dennoch haben wir die beiden nicht aufgegeben, regelmäßig versuchen unsere Tierpflegerinnen Kontakt zu den beiden jungen Katzenmädchen aufzubauen. Und gelegentlich klappt das auch, aber meistens müssen wir uns von den beiden hübschen rot/weißen Katzenmädchen anfauchen lassen. Auch wird grundsätzlich die Flucht ergriffen, wenn wir den Raum betreten. Auf Grund dessen könnten wir uns die beiden Schwestern auch super zusammen auf einem Hof, als aktive Mäusefängerin vorstellen, mit weiteren Katzen würden sie sich super verstehen. Falls es dennoch Menschen da draussen gibt, die die Herausforderung annehmen möchten, die beiden an Menschen zu gewöhnen, sollte man Ruhe, Zeit, Geduld und viel Verständnis mitbringen. Keine Erwartungen an die beiden stellen und in einem ruhigen Haushalt leben. Und wer weiß, vielleicht danken die zwei es dann irgendwann, zumindest ihren Menschen gegenüber, mit Vertrauen und Zuneigung.

About Kendra

What life with Kendra looks like

Kendra is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. in Eutin.

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 Kendra, answered.

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