Kira

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Kira is a 1-year-old cat who, fortunately, was given up by her previous owners. In her former home, she unfortunately had to experience quite a bit: So, the daughter of the family once shaved the fur off her back and paws for "fun." What else happened, we probably don't know. But all of that now belongs to the past – for Kira, a new, loving chapter is about to begin. Despite her bad experiences with people, Kira is incredibly friendly. She seeks closeness, enjoys cuddles very much, and simply exudes cuteness. However, she will immediately retreat from dominant cats, so we are looking for a single-cat place where she can be the undisputed number one. A cat-safe netted balcony would be a small paradise for Kira, as she loves to hold her nose to the wind, sniff fresh air, and enjoy a sunny spot. A free roam would also be possible – but only in a very quiet, green, and traffic-free environment. Kira could also feel comfortable in a family with children from about 10 years old. What's important is that the parents ensure she is treated respectfully and not seen as a "toy." Where are the people with big hearts who will finally give Kira the home she so deserves? We are sure: With her gentle and loving nature, she will storm her new people's hearts. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Kira ist eine 1-jährige Katze, die zum Glück von ihren Vorbesitzern abgegeben wurde. In ihrem früheren Zuhause musste sie leider einiges erleben: So hat die Tochter der Familie ihr „aus Spaß“ das Fell am Rücken und an den Pfoten rasiert. Was sonst noch vorgefallen ist, wissen wir vermutlich nicht. Doch all das gehört nun der Vergangenheit an – für Kira soll jetzt ein neues, liebevolles Kapitel beginnen. Trotz ihrer schlechten Erfahrungen mit Menschen ist Kira unglaublich zutraulich. Sie sucht die Nähe, genießt Streicheleinheiten sehr und zeigt sich einfach nur liebenswert. Gegenüber dominanten Katzen zieht sie sich jedoch sofort zurück, weshalb wir für sie einen Einzelplatz suchen, an dem sie die unangefochtene Nummer 1 sein darf. Ein vernetzter Balkon wäre für Kira ein kleines Paradies, denn sie liebt es, ihre Nase in den Wind zu halten, frische Luft zu schnuppern und ein sonniges Plätzchen zu genießen. Freigang wäre ebenfalls möglich – allerdings nur in einer sehr ruhigen, grünen und verkehrsarmen Umgebung. Kira könnte sich auch in einer Familie mit Kindern ab etwa 10 Jahren wohlfühlen. Wichtig ist nur, dass die Eltern darauf achten, dass sie respektvoll behandelt wird und nicht als „Spielzeug“ angesehen wird. Wo sind die Menschen mit großem Herzen, die Kira endlich das Zuhause schenken, das sie so sehr verdient? Wir sind uns sicher: Mit ihrer sanften und liebevollen Art wird sie ihre neuen Menschen im Sturm erobern.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V..

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. Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V. 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 — Katzenhilfe Stuttgart 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 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 Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V. 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.
