Lieven

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 5 months

Leven's cat mother was smart, she brought her two sick kittens to animal-loving people. So the little cat family got the help they needed. Leven and his sister Lieske are fit again and are ready to start their new life. Leven is still reserved, but with the right people, he will quickly "thaw out." Leven shows himself to be social with other cats. The 5-month-old tomcat would love to move in with his sister, but this is not an absolute must. But what absolutely must be: Leven wants to be allowed to go outside occasionally after his introduction to his new home and after his successful castration.

DE·Show original

Lieven´s Katzenmutter war schlau, sie brachte ihre beiden kranken Kitten zu tierlieben Menschen. So bekam die kleine Katzenfamilie die Hilfe die nötig war. Lieven und seine Schwester Lieske sind heute wieder fit und stehen in den Startlöchern für ihr neues Leben. Lieven ist noch zurückhaltend aber bei den richtigen Menschen wird er schnell „auftauen“. Lieven zeigt sich sozial mit anderen Katzen. Gern könnte der 5 Monate alte Jungkater mit seiner Schwester gemeinsam umziehen, dies ist aber kein absolutes Muss. Was aber unbedingt sein muss: Lieven möchte nach seiner Eingewöhnung im neuen Zuhause und nach seiner erfolgten Kastration auch zeitweise nach draußen dürfen.

About Lieven

What life with Lieven looks like

Lieven is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Melle in Melle.

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 Lieven, answered.

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