Kiran

Male

Specials: Apartment, secure balcony. Kiran here. Yes, I am pretty. I am fully aware of it and exude self-confidence. Once you are near me, I want you all to myself and will be very pushy. I definitely do this to my fellow animals too; I am just very rough in my dealings. If there is already a tomcat in the household, he must be quite resilient. Upon my arrival, I had severe diarrhea caused by an E. coli infection. Currently, I still have too much Clostridium in my intestines and am continuing to be treated. Special food is also being used.

Besonderheiten: Wohnung, gesicherter Balkon. Kiran hier. Ja, ich bin hübsch. Dessen bin ich mir vollkommen bewusst und ich strotze vor Selbstbewusstsein. Bist du erst einmal in meiner Nähe, will ich dich ganz für mich alleine und werde sehr aufdringlich. Das mache bestimmt bei meinen Artgenossen auch so, ich bin eben sehr grob im Umgang. Sollte bereits ein Kater im Haushalt leben, muss dieser schon hart im Nehmen sein. Bei meiner Ankunft hatte ich sehr starke Durchfälle die durch eine e.Coli Infektion zustand kamen. Aktuell habe ich noch zu viele Clostridien im Darm und werde weiterhin behandelt. Ein spezielles Futter kommt auch zum Einsatz.

About Kiran

What life with Kiran looks like

Kiran is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Kiran, answered.

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