Adopt Kitten

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Starting in the spring, we always receive numerous pregnant cat mothers, cats with kittens, or also abandoned Kitten without a mother cat. If we or the finders can catch them, they find safety, protection, and security at the animal shelter or on our foster care facilities. For many cat mothers, it is their first time giving birth without fear, hunger, and unprotected from the elements. At our shelter, the cats receive good food, medical care, affection, and any necessary support. The bottle-fed kittens that require round-the-clock care are lovingly nurtured in the foster home MiniKatz. When the kittens become a bit older and more independent a few weeks later, the little ones (always in pairs or with a similarly aged cat)

Ab dem Frühjahr bekommen wir immer zahlreiche trächtige Katzenmütter, Katzen mit Babys oder auch verwaiste Kitten ohne Mutterkatze gemeldet. Wenn wir oder die Finder sie einfangen können, finden sie im Tierheim oder auf unseren Pflegestellen Sicherheit, Schutz und Geborgenheit. Für viele Katzenmamas ist es das erste Mal, dass sie ihren Wurf nicht in Angst, hungrig und vor den Elementen ungeschützt zur Welt bringen müssen. Bei uns bekommen die Katzen gutes Futter, medizinische Versorgung, Zuwendung und jegliche notwendige Unterstützung. Flaschenkitten, die eine Rundum-Betreuung benötigen, werden in der Pflegestelle MiniKatz liebevoll umsorgt. Wenn die Kätzchen einige Wochen später größer und unabhängiger werden, stehen die Kleinen (jeweils zu Zweit oder zu einer gleich alten Katze) zur

About Kitten

What life with Kitten looks like

Kitten is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Dallau in Elztal.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Kitten, answered.

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