Lenny (Wohnungshaltung)

Unknown · Young · 3 years

I am around 4 years old and came to the animal shelter as an abandoned kitten. The reason was that I did not get along with a returnee cat in the household. I do not get along well with other cats and would prefer to remain an individual princess. I am a quiet, peaceful cat who knows exactly what she wants and what she does not. If something gets too much for me or I do not feel like it, I make this clear. With people who respect my signals, I am however a very pleasant and loving companion. I like to lie on the lap of the animal caretakers during quiet moments and enjoy the closeness. I imagine my new home on the sofa with a good book or the TV. Health-wise, I bring a few topics with me. My kidneys are not functioning as they should anymore, and they are currently only supported by special food. I also have a small heart murmur, but this is not yet treatable. Due to my long fur, I need some assistance with grooming. Both I and my human would benefit from grooming in small but regular sessions to avoid it becoming too much. I wish for a home suitable for apartment living with a secured balcony, with people who are quiet and respect my boundaries. We are looking forward to your interest in Lenny. Please send us a direct application as a potential guardian for Lenny. Of course, Lenny is also happy to receive single monetary and item donations.

Ich bin ca. 4 Jahre alt und kam als Abgabekatze ins Tierheim. Der Grund war, dass ich mich mit einer zurückgekehrten Katze im Haushalt nicht verstanden habe. Mit anderen Katzen verstehe ich mich nicht so gut uns würde daher gerne Einzelprinzessin bleiben. Ich bin eine ruhige, friedliche Katze, die ganz genau weiß was sie möchte und was nicht. Wenn mir etwas zu viel wird oder ich keine Lust habe, zeige ich dies klar. Mit Menschen die meine Signale respektieren, bin ich jedoch eine sehr angenehme und liebe Begleiterin. Gerne liege ich in ruhigen Momenten auf dem Schoß der Tierpfleger und genieße die Nähe. Dabei stelle ich mir mein neues Zuhause auf dem Sofa mit einem guten Buch oder dem Fernseher vor. Gesundheitlich bringe ich ein paar Themen mir. Denn meine Nieren fangen an nicht mehr so zu funktionieren, wie sie sollten. Diese werden gerade nur durch ein spezielles Futter unterstützt. Auch ein kleines Herzgeräusch bringe ich mir, dies ist aber noch nicht Behandlungswürdig. Durch mein langes Fell brauche ich etwas Unterstützung mit der Fellpflege. Auch hier mache ich bis zu einem gewissen Punkt mit und lasse mir das gefallen, am besten wäre es für Mensch und Katze die Fellpflege in kleinen aber regelmäßigen Einheiten zu gestalten, damit es nicht zu viel wird. Ich wünsche mir ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon, bei Menschen die ruhig sind und meine Grenzen respektieren. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für Lenny interessieren. Senden Sie uns am besten direkt eine Interessentenanfrage. Dann werden Sie Pate für Lenny. Natürlich freut sich Lenny auch über einzelne Geld- und Sachspenden.

About Lenny (Wohnungshaltung)

What life with Lenny (Wohnungshaltung) looks like

Lenny (Wohnungshaltung) is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe.

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 Lenny (Wohnungshaltung), answered.

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