Lilly

Female · Young · 3 years

Lilly *2023: Lilly was surrendered to us because she allegedly didn't get along with the existing cats. But what's really wrong with her, we found out after a short time. Her tail hangs down. After a vet visit with X-rays, we knew what was going on. Her tail is paralyzed. Unfortunately, we have to have a tail amputation. This will again tear a hole in the association's purse. But that doesn't matter to us animal lovers, we keep fighting for cats like Lilly, where owners don't take responsibility and don't want to spend money. If the beautiful long-haired cat has survived all this, she is looking for a nice responsible home, with people who care and love her. Because Lilly is a dream with her character. She also likes to talk and wants to be very close to her people. At the

Lilly *2023: Lilly wurde bei uns abgegeben, da sie sich angeblich mit den bestehenden Katzen nicht vertragen hätte. Was aber tatsächlich mit ihr ist, haben wir nach kurzer Zeit gemerkt. Ihr Schwanz hängt herunter. Nach einem Tierarztbesuch mit Röntgenuntersuchung wussten wir Bescheid. Ihr Schwanz ist gelähmt. Leider müssen wir eine Schwanzamputation vornehmen lassen. Dies wird wieder ein Loch in die Vereinskasse reißen. Aber das ist uns Tierschützern egal, wir kämpfen weiter für solche Katzen, wo die Besitzer keine Verantwortung übernehmen und auch kein Geld ausgeben wollen. Wenn die wunderschöne Langhaarkatze dies alles überstanden hat, sucht sie ein schönes verantwortungsbewusstes Zuhause, mit Menschen die sich kümmern und sie liebhaben. Denn Lilly ist von ihrem Charakter ein Träumchen. Sie redet auch gerne und möchte sehr nah bei ihren Menschen sein. Bei der

About Lilly

What life with Lilly looks like

Lilly is a young adult cat waiting at Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. in Schalkenbach.

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 Lilly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lilly?
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 Lilly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lilly 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 Lilly 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 Lilly 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 Lilly 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.
