How do I contact the shelter about Kira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken 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 — Tierhilfe Franken 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kira and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Kira

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Kira and Bubi - two lovable seniors Kira and Bubi are a sibling pair that must start anew together. After their previous owner passed away, the two are now looking for a quiet, loving home where they can relax in their "retirement" - with cozy sleeping places, fixed routines and people who give them time to settle in at their own pace. Kira is the bolder of the two and quickly explores her new surroundings. However, she takes it a bit more leisurely with petting and prefers to decide when she wants to be close. No longer as playful, but still curious and eager to explore. Bubi takes a little longer to gain trust. Once the initial ice is broken, however, he quickly shows his charming side. Our Opi is a talkative, curious cat who likes to follow his humans around the apartment and wants to know exactly what's happening. He loves petting and a small daily game session is a must. Age-appropriately, the two furry friends of course spend a good part of the day sleeping and dozing, but they really enjoy the company of their humans. The community is important to them. Our beauties are used to living in an apartment. A secured balcony/patio would be a nice addition, however. What do our sweethearts want? A cozy home with loving cat people who are sensitively enchanted by their different personalities and are willing to give their hearts to two older cats. Kira and Bubi will only be placed together - because after 15 years together, their next chapter should also continue to be a duo.

DE·Show original

Kira und Bubi – zwei liebenswerte Senioren Kira und Bubi sind ein Geschwisterpärchen, das gemeinsam noch einmal neu durchstarten muss. Nachdem ihr bisheriger Besitzer verstorben ist, suchen die beiden nun ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie ihren „Ruhestand“ entspannt genießen dürfen – mit gemütlichen Schlafplätzen, festen Routinen und Menschen, die ihnen Zeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Kira ist die Mutigere von beiden und erkundet relativ schnell ihre neue Umgebung. Bei Streicheleinheiten lässt sie es dagegen etwas gemächlicher angehen und entscheidet lieber selbst, wann ihr nach Nähe ist. Nicht mehr so verspielt, aber durchaus neugierig und gerne auf Entdeckungstour. Bubi braucht anfangs etwas länger, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Ist das erste Eis gebrochen, zeigt er jedoch sehr schnell seine charmante Seite. Unser Opi ist ein gesprächiger, neugieriger Kater, der seinem Menschen gerne durch die Wohnung folgt und ganz genau wissen möchte, was gerade passiert. Streicheleinheiten liebt er und eine kleine tägliche Spielrunde muss sein. Altersentsprechend verbringen die zwei Samtpfötchen natürlich einen guten Teil des Tages mit Schlafen und Dösen, genießen dabei aber sehr die Gesellschaft ihres Menschen. Die Gemeinschaft ist ihnen wichtig. Unsere Hübschen sind reine Wohnungshaltung gewohnt. Was wünschen sich unsere Süßen? Ein gemütliches Zuhause bei liebevollen Katzenmenschen, die sich einfühlsam von ihren unterschiedlichen Persönlichkeiten bezaubern lassen und bereit sind, zwei älteren Katzen ihr Herz zu schenken. Kira und Bubi werden nur gemeinsam vermittelt – denn nach 15 gemeinsamen Jahren soll ihr nächstes Kapitel auch weiterhin eines zu zweit sein.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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.
