Kira

Female · Adult · 9 years

The pretty Kira came to us after her owner passed away. Her previous companion cat has already found a new home – now Kira is waiting for her own people. At the animal shelter, Kira currently shows a bit of fear and reticence. However, she can be stroked and will open up more and more with a bit of time and patience. Kira is about nine years old and would like to enjoy a free roam in her new home. She was never far from home, tending to stay mostly indoors and making small, quiet rounds outside. Another cat does not necessarily have to be in the new home – Kira would feel just as comfortable as a single cat. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Die hübsche Kira kam zu uns, nachdem ihr Besitzer verstorben ist. Ihre bisherige Partnerkatze hat inzwischen bereits ein neues Zuhause gefunden – nun wartet Kira noch auf ihre eigenen Menschen. Im Tierheim zeigt sich Kira momentan noch etwas ängstlich und zurückhaltend. Sie lässt sich jedoch streicheln und taut mit etwas Zeit und Geduld immer mehr auf. Kira ist etwa neun Jahre alt und möchte in ihrem neuen Zuhause unbedingt wieder Freigang genießen dürfen. Dabei war sie nie weit unterwegs, sondern hielt sich überwiegend zuhause auf und machte draußen eher kleine, ruhige Runden. Eine weitere Katze muss im neuen Zuhause nicht unbedingt vorhanden sein – Kira würde sich sicher auch als Einzelkatze wohlfühlen.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Plattling in Plattling.

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 Kira, answered.

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