Kira

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 14 years

Unsere liebe Kira ist wieder da. Kira ist Probewohnen im neuen Zuhause. Kira ist eine absolut liebevolle, feinfühlige, ruhige und unkomplizierte Katze, die sich hier im Tierheim sehr zurückzieht und einfach wieder jemanden braucht, der ihre schöne Art zu schätzen und zu lieben weiß. Bisher hat sie immer mit einer Katzenfreundin zusammen gelebt und es wäre sehr schön, wenn sie wieder eine ruhige und verträgliche Katzenpartnerin finden würde. Wenn sie nicht viel allein sein müsste und ausreichend Menschengesellschaft hat, können wir uns auch vorstellen, sie als Einzelkatze in einen ruhigen Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder zu vermitteln. In ihrem letzten Zuhause zeigte sie keine gesundheitlichen Probleme, weswegen wir davon ausgehen, dass ihre zuvor bei uns bestandene Darmsymtomatik stressbedingt war. Ursprünglich kam Kira mit ihrer Schwester Samira als Verwahrung zu uns, nachdem ihre damalige Besitzerin verstarb. Wir hoffen auf ein diesmal Für-immer-Zuhause für Kira.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a small senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ettlingen in Ettlingen.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Ettlingen 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 Ettlingen 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 Ettlingen 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.
