Kira

European Shorthair · Female

Hey you, down there, in the box. Yes, Kira here. I hope you didn't think a box was talking to you, did you? Well, at first it might seem like that, because I am very shy and timid. So you'll have to work a lot with me and be very patient. By now, I'm more relaxed and come out of the box, but only when no one is around. I can tolerate other cats, no problem, but I need free-roaming space. Well, what else can I say about myself: I am still in my discovery phase.

Hey du, hier unten, in der Box. Ja, Kira hier. Du hast ja hoffentlich nicht angenommen, dass eine Box mit dir redet, oder? Wobei, das kann anfangs durchaus so sein, denn ich bin sehr schüchtern und scheu. Du wirst also viel mit mir arbeiten und geduldig sein müssen. Mittlerweile bin ich zwar noch entspannter und komme aus der Box raus, aber nur wenn niemand in der Nähe ist. Andere Katzen kann ich erdulden, kein Problem, aber Freigang brauche ich. Tja, was soll ich sonst über mich sagen: Ich bin noch aktuell in meiner Findungsphase: Ich hoffe, bald einen Menschen zu finden, der mit mir in das n

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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. Meine Katzenstation 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 — Meine Katzenstation 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 Meine Katzenstation 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.
