Kitty

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Kitty was surrendered. In her old home there were several cats, but Kitty is not particularly fond of her fellow felines, which was probably the reason for the surrender. She is very people-oriented, gets close quickly and lets herself be stroked. To get attention, she sometimes uses her high-pitched voice, which sounds so pitiful that you immediately feel sorry for this poor cat. :-) Kitty is affectionate, curious and playful and now seeks a single place with outdoor access.

Kitty wurde abgegeben. Im alten Zuhause lebten mehrere Katzen, Kitty ist aber von ihren Artgenossen nicht sonderlich begeistert, vermutlich war das auch der Abgabegrund. Sie ist sehr menschenbezogen, kommt schnell näher und lässt sich streicheln. Um Aufmerksamkeit zu erhalten, setzt sie schon mal ihre piepsige Stimme ein, die so jämmerlich klingt, dass man sofort Mitleid mit dieser armen Katze bekommt. :-) Kitty ist verschmust, neugierig und verspielt und sucht jetzt einen Einzelplatz mit Freigangmöglichkeit.

About Kitty

What life with Kitty looks like

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

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 Kitty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kitty?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Darmstadt 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 Darmstadt 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 Darmstadt 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.
