Laura

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

I am Laura... and I am looking for a home with outdoor access in a quiet area for a cat-savvy person. This is me: I was found, am friendly, affectionate and active. At the same time, I am confident and have my own mind. If I don't like something or want my own space, I'll show it. That's why I'm looking for people who understand my signals and don't pressure me. I enjoy spending time with my humans, but I also like to decide when I want to be close. I'm looking for... a home as a single cat with outdoor access in a quiet environment. Small children should not live in the household. My new people should already have cat experience and enjoy getting to know me. Would you like to meet me? Please contact me via the application form below or by phone at Samtpfötchen-Haus 1 (daily 13-16 except Saturdays).

Ich bin Laura … und suche ein katzenerfahrenes Zuhause mit Freigang in ruhiger Gegend. Das bin ich: Ich wurde gefunden, bin zutraulich, verschmust und aktiv. Gleichzeitig bin ich selbstbewusst und habe mein eigenes Köpfchen. Wenn mir etwas nicht gefällt oder ich meine Ruhe haben möchte, zeige ich das. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die meine Signale verstehen mich nicht bedrängen. Ich verbringe gern Zeit mit meinen Menschen, entscheide aber auch gern selbst, wann ich Nähe möchte. Ich wünsche mir … ein Zuhause als Einzelkatze mit Freigang in einer ruhigen Umgebung. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Meine neuen Menschen sollten schon Katzenerfahrung und Freude daran haben, sich auf mich einzulassen. Möchtest du mich kennenlernen? Melde dich gern über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Samtpfötchen-Haus 1 unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Laura

What life with Laura looks like

Laura is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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 Laura, answered.

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