Kitty Perry

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Anyone who has visited us recently may have already met our "shelter cat" Kitty Perry in the entrance area or on the parking lot! Just like her name inspiration, Kitty Perry has become a real star. She originally came to us as a stray and was supposed to be rehomed normally. However, after she could not handle the stress in our adoption rooms and became behaviorally problematic, we decided to offer the beautiful female cat free roaming and establish her as our shelter cat. Since then, she has developed fantastically, strolling confidently around the premises and observing the barking dogs from a safe distance. She is interested in friendly dogs in direct contact, but also occasionally gives a swat if the dog becomes too pushy. We can therefore imagine that she would be a good fit for a relaxed, dog-experienced dog (and would train it). She also finds people quite nice. She likes to be petted, snuggles against the legs and enjoys full attention. However, if she gets too much, one should quickly leave her alone, otherwise she may scratch. Kitty Perry has her own mind and her own opinion! We are looking for people who respect her and are not discouraged by the fact that she might hit out if she doesn't want something. She doesn't need other cats in her new home, but definitely needs permanent outdoor access! She definitely does not want to be confined. A cat flap would therefore be best for her, so she can go outside anytime.

Wer uns in letzter Zeit besucht hat, der hat sie vielleicht schon im Eingangsbereich oder auf dem Parkplatz kennengelernt: Unsere „Tierheimkatze“ Kitty Perry! Wie ihre Namensinspiration ist auch Kitty Perry ein richtiger Star geworden. Nachdem sie jedoch den Stress in unseren Vermittlungsräumen nicht aushalten konnte und verhaltensauffällig wurde, entschieden wir uns der hübschen Katzendame Freigang zu bieten und sie bei uns als Tierheimkatze zu etablieren. Seitdem hat sie sich fantastisch entwickelt, schlendert unerschrocken über das Gelände und betrachtet aus sicherer Entfernung die bellenden Hunde. Im Direktkontakt mit netten Hunden ist sie interessiert, verteilt aber auch mal eine Schelle, wenn der Hund ihr zu aufdringlich wird. Wir können uns daher vorstellen, dass sie zu einem entspannten hundeerfahrenen Hund gut passen könnte (und sich diesen erzieht). Auch Menschen findet sie gar nicht schlecht. Sie lässt sich gern streicheln, schmiegt sich an die Beine und genießt die volle Aufmerksamkeit. Wird es ihr allerdings zu viel, dann sollte man schnell die Finger von ihr lassen, ansonsten gibt es auch mal einen Kratzer. Kitty Perry hat einen eigenen Kopf und eine eigene Meinung! Wir suchen Menschen, die sie respektieren und sich nicht davon abschrecken lassen, dass sie möglicherweise mal schlägt, wenn sie etwas nicht möchte. Andere Katzen braucht sie in ihrem neuen Zuhause eher nicht, dafür aber unbedingt dauerhaften Freigang! Sie möchte auf keinen Fall nicht eingesperrt sein. Eine Katzenklappe wäre deshalb für sie am besten geeignet, damit sie rund um die Uhr nach draußen kann.

About Kitty Perry

What life with Kitty Perry looks like

Kitty Perry is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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 Kitty Perry, answered.

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