How do I contact the shelter about Kitty?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kitty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kitty if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 Kitty 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 Kitty 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 Berlin Falkenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kitty 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.

Kitty

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

I am Kitty, a friendly and talkative cat looking for lots of affection and attention. That's me: I prefer to be near my favorite people (I particularly enjoy being with women, and with men I'm a bit more reserved at first). Once I've closed my heart to someone, I'll be their shadow. I wait by the apartment door and loudly demand cuddles. I love being brushed and watching birds from the balcony. I also like to hide now and then in the closet or under the bed, where I can sleep for hours. When I feel safe and secure, I like to play, preferably with paper scraps or packaging. I wish for a quiet home with not too much action – and without children. I've already tried living with a family with children, and it didn't work out well for me and was too stressful. I would like my favorite people to be often at home so I don't have to share their attention with other animals. A balcony (secured) would be great! Do you have a nice spot for me?

DE·Show original

Ich bin Kitty eine freundliche und gesprächige Katze auf der Suche nach viel Zuwendung und Aufmerksamkeit. Das bin ich: Ich bin am liebsten in der Nähe meiner Lieblingsmenschen (Frauen habe ich besonders gern, bei Männern bin ich anfangs zurückhaltender). Wenn ich jemanden in mein Herz geschlossen habe, werde ich zu deren Schatten. Ich warte schon an der Wohnungstür und fordere lautstark Streicheleinheiten ein. Ich liebe es, gebürstet zu werden und auf dem Balkon Vögel zu beobachten. Ich verstecke mich auch gern mal im Kleiderschrank oder unter der Bettdecke, um dort stundenlang zu schlafen. Wenn ich mich sicher und aufgehoben fühle, spiele ich auch gern, am liebsten mit Papierschnipseln oder Verpackungen. Ich wünsche mir ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne viel Action – und ohne Kinder. Ich habe schon mal versucht, bei einer Familie mit Kindern zu leben, das hat mir gar nicht gut getan und war mir zu stressig. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass meine Lieblingsmenschen oft zu Hause sind und ich die Aufmerksamkeit nicht mit anderen Tieren teilen muss. Ein Balkon (abgesichert) wäre toll! Hast du ein tolles Plätzchen für mich?

About Kitty

What life with Kitty looks like

Kitty is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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.
