Leander

Male · Kitten · 4 months

Leander * 10.06.2026 When Leander arrived at the shelter with her siblings, she was very shy because she didn't know people, but she has made great progress. Now she is so affectionate that you can stroke her head. She just needs some time to develop trust with patience and love. She likes to cuddle with Amira, they often lie together and cling to each other. Since the two daughters of the foster mother spend a lot of time with the kittens, they are very relaxed around children. Sometimes they even come up to them on their laps - a beautiful sign of how much trust they have, which will be strengthened in their forever home. Both indoor and outdoor living is possible. She can move in with one of her siblings (e.g. Amira) or an existing young cat up to 6 years old. When moving out, she is vaccinated, dewormed and chipped and therefore well prepared for her new life. Now all that's missing is a loving home where Leander can continue to trust and arrive forever. Maybe with you? The foster home and Leander are looking forward to nice visits. PS: So.Sch. Brohl

Leander * 10.06.2026 Als Leander mit ihren Geschwistern zu uns kam, war sie sehr scheu, weil sie Menschen nicht kannte, aber sie hat tolle Fortschritte gemacht. Mittlerweile ist sie so zutraulich, dass man ihr übers Köpfchen streicheln kann. Sie braucht nur etwas Zeit, um mit Geduld und Liebe Vertrauen zu entwickeln. Sie kuschelt gerne mit Amira, sie liegen oft zusammen und hängen aneinander. Da die beiden Töchter der Pflegemama viel Zeit mit den Kätzchen verbringen, sind sie Kindern gegenüber sehr entspannt. Manchmal kommen sie auch zu ihnen auf den Schoß – ein schönes Zeichen, wie viel Vertrauen sie haben, was sich im für-immer-Zuhause noch verstärken wird. Sowohl Wohnungshaltung als auch Freigang ist möglich. Sie kann mit einem ihrer Geschwisterchen (z.B. Amira) oder einer bestehenden, jungen Katze bis 6 Jahre ziehen. Beim Auszug ist sie geimpft, entwurmt und gechippt und damit bestens vorbereitet auf ihr neues Leben. Jetzt fehlt nur noch ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem Leander weiter Vertrauen fassen und für immer ankommen darf. Vielleicht bei dir? Die Pflegestelle und Leander freuen sich auf netten Besuch.

About Leander

What life with Leander looks like

Leander is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. in Schalkenbach.

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 Leander, answered.

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