Adopt Lady

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Lady Noir is a strong-willed, confident female cat who knows exactly what she wants. She generally likes people and seeks out close contact on her own, but if you pet her for too long, she may bite your hand or pinch it. Other cats are not necessarily required in her new home, but she gets along reasonably well with them as long as they are not too intrusive. Free roaming is all the more important for Lady Noir, as she really enjoys feeling the wind against her nose outside. This animal has a history of biting.

Read original (de)

Lady Noir ist eine eigensinnige, selbstbewusste Katzendame, die genau weiß, was sie will. Sie mag Menschen zwar generell und sucht auch von sich aus engen Kontakt, aber wenn man sie dann zu lange streichelt, haut sie auch schonmal nach der Hand oder zwickt in die Hand. Andere Katzen benötigt sie im neuen Zuhause nicht zwingend, kommt aber einigermaßen mit ihnen klar, solange sie ihr nicht zu aufdringlich werden. Freigang ist dafür umso wichtiger für Lady Noir, denn sie genießt es sehr, sich draußen den Wind um die Nase wehen zu lassen.

About Lady

What life with Lady looks like

Lady is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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 Lady, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lady?
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 Lady on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lady 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 Lady 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 Lady 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 Lady 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.
