Kiraz

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Our colleague Rossella discovered a kitten in a cat colony in the bushes in a pitiful condition, with completely matted eyes. The little one was immediately taken to a veterinarian and treated. Unfortunately, the kitten’s right eye was already destroyed. The female kitten was named Kiraz, and Rossella bottle-fed her. Even at work, the baby was brought along to ensure it could be fed regularly. Gradually, little Kiraz recovered and grew into a cheerful young cat with plush, longer fur. She loves playing with small fabric balls, tirelessly retrieving them when they are thrown to her. Kiraz is now ready to embark on her journey to Germany to find a loving home here. There should definitely be another cat for company to play and cuddle with. On December 16, 2025, Kiraz arrived in her German foster home along with Nanetta. If you would like to take Kiraz into your family, we would be delighted to hear from you. For our cats, we prefer homes that are suitable for apartment living with a cat-safe netted balcony or secure terrace.

Unsere Kollegin Rossella entdeckte bei einer Katzenkolonie im Gebüsche ein Katzenbaby in erbärmlichem Zustand, es hatte völlig verklebte Augen. Das Kleine wurde direkt zu einem Tierarzt gebracht und behandelt. Das rechte Auge des Kätzchen war leider bereits zerstört. Das Katzenmädchen wurde Kiraz genannt, Rossella zog es mit der Flasche auf. Sogar zur Arbeit wurde das Baby mitgenommen, damit es regelmäßig gefüttert werden konnte.Nach und nach erholte sich die kleine Kiraz und wuchs zu einer fröhlichen Jungkatze mit plüschigem längeren Fell heran. Sie spielt am liebsten mit kleinen Stoffbällen, die sie unermüdlich apportiert, wenn man ihr die Bällchen zuwirft. Kiraz ist jetzt bereit, ihre Reise nach Deutschland anzutreten, um hier ein liebevolles Zuhause zu finden. Katzengesellschaft zum Spielen und Kuscheln sollte auf jeden Fall vorhanden sein. 16. Dezember 2025Kiraz ist zusammen mit Nanetta in ihrer deutschen Pflegestelle angekommen.Juni 2026 Kiraz ist eine sehr menschenfreundliche, anhängliche und verschmuste Katze. Wenn ihre Pflegemama nach Hause kommt, erwartet die Kleine sie schon sehnsüchtig hinter der Wohnungstür. Kiraz spielt für ihr Leben gern und kann so gut wie alles dafür gebrauchen, sogar Küchen-Schwämme werden von ihr zweckentfremdet. Im Zuhause wünscht sich die lebhafte Kiraz viel Beschäftigung und Platz zum Toben mit mindestens einem Katzenkumpel. Wenn Sie Kiraz in Ihre Familie aufnehmen möchten, freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht. Sie wird nicht als Einzelkatze und nur in Wohnungshaltung mit vernetztem Balkon bzw. gesicherter Terrasse vergeben.

About Kiraz

What life with Kiraz looks like

Kiraz is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

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 Kiraz, answered.

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