Kiwi

Female · Young · 3 years

aufgeschlossen und verschmust, lieb - weiter unten lesen Sie mehr Das Video wird via YouTube geöffnet: Informationen zum Datenschutz. Über Kiwi Die schöne Katze Kiwi wurde auf dem Arm tragend und als angebliche Fundkatze bei uns abgegeben. Hier war sie dann erstmal richtig übellaunig und wollte alles andere als auf den Arm! Das hat sich in der Zwischenzeit gelegt und sie schaut einen hoffnungsvoll und freundlich an, so als wolle sie sagen: Hol mich hier raus! Kiwi zeigt sich verschmust und aufgeschlossen. Sie war nicht kastriert oder gechipt, das wurde nun alles – inkl. Impfung – nachgeholt haben und sie sitzt auf „gepackten Koffern“. Wir wissen nicht, ob sie Kinder gut findet, daher sollten Kinder schon größer sein (ca. 10 J) wenn sie in eine Familie zieht. Freigang sollte Kiwi nach der Eingewöhnung bekommen, da sie den schon kennt.

About Kiwi

What life with Kiwi looks like

Kiwi is a young adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Kiwi, answered.

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