Larissa

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

The black beauty Larissa is the mom to the kittens Laslo, Lolly, Lauser, and the adoptive kitten Felix. The nearly one-year-old Larissa is a bit skittish when it comes to sudden movements, so she needs a gentle home with a secure balcony or garden. Once she builds trust, she shows herself to be a very affectionate cat who can't get enough attention from her people. Otherwise, she is a very relaxed and playful young cat mom. Simply a real treasure. We wish for her a home where she can move in with two of her children or as a second cat to a furred paw of a similar age. Whoever wishes to give Larissa a loving home or has further questions, please contact Mrs. Schmitz.

Die schwarze Schönheit Larissa ist die Mama der Kitten Laslo, Lolly, Lauser und Adoptivkaterchen Felix. Die knapp einjährige Larissa ist etwas schreckhaft was schnelle Bewegungen betrifft, so benötigt sie ein einfühlsames Zuhause mit gesichertem Balkon oder Garten. Sobald sie Vertrauen gefasst hat, zeigt sie sich als große Schmusekatze, die nicht genug Aufmerksamkeit von ihren Menschen bekommen kann. Ansonsten ist sie eine ganz entspannte und verspielte junge Katzenmama. Einfach ein ganz besonderer Schatz. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause, in das sie bestenfalls mit zweien ihrer Kinder umziehen darf oder als Zweitkatze zu einer Samtpfote im ähnlichen Alter. Wer Larissa ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchte oder bei weiteren Fragen, bitte Frau Schmitz kontaktieren.

About Larissa

What life with Larissa looks like

Larissa is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Karlsruhe e.V. in Karlsruhe.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Larissa, answered.

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