Kizia

European Shorthair · Female

Als Kizia bei uns ankam, war sie zunächst sehr schüchtern und zurückhaltend. Doch inzwischen hat sie gemerkt, dass Menschen es gut mit ihr meinen – und ist richtig aufgetaut. Heute genießt sie Streicheleinheiten in vollen Zügen und kann gar nicht genug davon bekommen. Sie ist eine sehr schmusige und anhängliche Katze, die die Nähe zu ihren Menschen sucht und sich über jede liebevolle Zuwendung freut! Für Kizia wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf und ganz viel Liebe und Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Wie die kleine Katzendame auf andere Katzen reagiert, wird aktuell noch beobachtet. Daher können wir hierzu momentan noch keine abschließende Aussage treffen.

About Kizia

What life with Kizia looks like

Kizia is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Kizia, answered.

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