Kiwi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Our beautiful Kiwi is currently about a year old and is waiting for her loving home here. Kiwi is a very social and friendly cat. She is initially a bit shy around people, which is why we are looking for a home with people who have patience. Since Kiwi still loves to play, she would be ideal for a home with an existing active first cat - this is not a requirement. She can also move in as a single cat, as she will enjoy her beloved outdoor time and make friends there after a proper adjustment period. A previous adoption attempt failed because the chemistry with the cats in the old home did not work out. Would you like to give our Kiwi a loving home? Please contact us at the animal shelter for a first meeting! Note: If you click on one of the following links, you will be redirected to the corresponding page.

Die wunderschöne Kiwi ist aktuell gut ein Jahr alt und wartet bei uns auf ihre Herzensmenschen. Kiwi zeigt sich bei uns als sehr soziale und freundliche Katze. Bei Menschen ist sie anfangs noch etwas schüchtern, weshalb wir ein Zuhause bei Menschen mit Geduld suchen. Da Kiwi alterstypisch noch sehr gerne spielt, kann sie ideal zu einer bereits vorhandenen, ebenfalls noch aktiven Erstkatze vermittelt werden – dies ist jedoch keine Grundvoraussetzung. Sie kann auch als Einzelkatze einziehen, da sie nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit ohnehin ihren geliebten Freigang genießen möchte und dort draußen Kontakte knüpfen kann. Ein vorheriger Vermittlungsversuch scheiterte leider, weil die Chemie mit den Katzen im alten Zuhause nicht stimmte. Möchten Sie unserer Kiwi ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken? Melden Sie sich gerne bei uns im Tierheim für ein erstes Kennenlernen! Hinweis: Wenn sie einen der nachfolgenden Links anklicken werden sie auf die entsprechende Seite weiter geleitet.

About Kiwi

What life with Kiwi looks like

Kiwi is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus in Germany.

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. Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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 — Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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 Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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.
