Kitty

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Female, spayed Compatibility: Second cat Special feature: Carrier of the coronavirus Kitty came to us with another cat; we can't say anything about her background. She is initially reserved and anxious. Once she warms up, she is very affectionate. She would probably not mind a nice quiet second cat. She would likely be content in an apartment. Children should know how to handle anxious cats.

Sie ist anfangs zurückhaltend und ängstlich. Taut sie erstmal auf ist sie sehr verschmust. Ihr würde vermutlich die Wohnungshaltung ausreichen. Kinder sollten den Umgang mit ängstlichen Katzen kennen.

About Kitty

What life with Kitty looks like

Kitty is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. in Recklinghausen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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 und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. 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 und Tierschutz Recklinghausen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. 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.
