How do I contact the shelter about Kiwi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Wetzlar 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 — Tierheim Wetzlar 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 Tierheim Wetzlar 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.

Mixed Breed · Female

Hello, I am Kiwi 🥰 I came to the animal shelter as a found cat, and, as often happens, I am not missed 🥺 Probably I have been out and about for a while already, because I do not really have much of a connection to people… I have heard that it makes it harder to find a home because of that 😢 But we will try anyway 🍀 I have no problem with other cats. If you perhaps already have a very open-minded cat at home who needs a friend, then I can really take a look at her and I will definitely lose my fear too 🥰 I just need people who have patience with me and do not expect too much from the start 🍀 Maybe someone will give me a chance? I am a very quiet representative of the animal shelter and can happily move into suitable apartment living 😊 I place all my hope in you. Please feel free to write a mail to: and come by. Maybe the chemistry will be right between us 🥰🍀 Until hopefully soon, Yours, Kiwi ❤️ (The description of me is only a snapshot from the shelter day-to-day. I can develop very differently in my new home.) Please read our rehoming criteria on our homepage: Rehoming Criteria – animal welfare association Wetzlar and Umgebung e.V. (animal shelter-wetzlar.de) Animal: Cat. Breed: EKH Born: ca. 2021. Color: White with black patches.

Hallöchen, ich bin Kiwi 🥰 Ich kam als Fundkatze ins Tierheim und wurde wie es oft so ist, nicht vermisst 🥺 Wahrscheinlich bin ich schon länger draußen unterwegs, denn ich habe aktuell nicht wirklich einen Bezug zu Menschen…. Ich habe gehört, das es dadurch schwerer ist ein Zuhause zu finden 😢 Probieren wollen wir es aber trotzdem 🍀 Mit anderen Katzen habe ich kein Problem. Wenn ihr vielleicht schon eine sehr aufgeschlossene Katze Zuhause habt, die eine Freundin braucht, dann kann ich mir von ihr ganz viel abgucken und verliere meine Angst auch bestimmt 🥰 Ich brauche hier nur Menschen, die Geduld mit mir haben und nicht von Anfang an zuviel erwarten 🍀 Vielleicht gibt mir ja jemand eine Chance? Ich bin hier im Tierheim eine sehr ruhige Vertreterin und kann gerne in Wohnungshaltung ziehen 😊 Ich setze alle Hoffnung in Euch. Schreibt gerne mal eine Mail an: und kommt vorbei. Vielleicht stimmt die Chemie ja bei uns 🥰🍀 Bis hoffentlich bald, Eure Kiwi ❤️ (Die Beschreibung von mir ist nur eine Momentaufnahme aus dem Tierheimalltag. Ich kann mich im neuen Zuhause auch ganz anders entwickeln.) Bitte lest vorab bei uns auf der Homepage die Vermittlungskriterien: Vermittlungskriterien – Tierschutzverein Wetzlar und Umgebung e.V.

About Kiwi

What life with Kiwi looks like

Kiwi is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Wetzlar in Wetzlar.

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.
