Kiki

Female · Young · 1 year

Kiki was surrendered to us along with five little kittens by her owner, who was once again overwhelmed. Initially, she was a great mother, but then she became annoyed by her offspring, so we had to separate them. Now she has moved to the cat house and is causing a disturbance there. Kiti really has no patience for our cats and fights with them severely. The other cats in her room have begged us to advertise her heavily so she will move out quickly. Kiki is very affectionate and cuddly with people, but she is also very agile and goes over tables and benches. Maybe it's also because she is extremely under-stimulated with us. We are looking for a beautiful home for the enchanting little cat with a secure balcony and people who have a lot of time for her and can spend a lot of time with her.

DE·Show original

Kiki wurde zusammen mit fünf kleinen Kitten bei uns abgegeben, weil ihr Besitzer (mal wieder) überfordert war. Anfangs war sie eine super Mutter, dann war sie aber so genervt von ihrem Nachwuchs, dass wir sie trennen mussten. Jetzt ist sie ins Katzenhaus umgezogen und mischt dort alles ordentlich auf. Kiki hat absolut keine Lust auf unsere Katzen und verprügelt sie auch heftig. Die anderen Katzen in ihrem Zimmer haben uns inständig gebeten, viel Werbung für sie zu machen, damit sie schnell auszieht. Mit Menschen ist Kiki sehr lieb und verschmust, sie ist aber auch sehr agil und geht über Tische und Bänke. Vielleicht liegt es aber auch daran, dass sie bei uns mega unausgelastet ist. Wir suchen für die zauberhafte Mieze ein schönes Zuhause mit gesichertem Balkon und Menschen, die viel Zeit für sie haben und sich viel mit ihr beschäftigen.

About Kiki

What life with Kiki looks like

Kiki is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

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 Kiki, answered.

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