Adopt Lilo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 13 years

The cat Lilo was dropped off at the animal shelter at the beginning of May. She suffers from persistent diarrhea that she cannot control. Extensive examinations and a blood test revealed that the problem likely has been ongoing for some time without a concrete medical cause being found. Since her stay on the quarantine station for Lilo was no longer tolerable, we decided to spare her further stress and give her a free roam on our premises. Since then, she has been frolicking happily outside and is allowed to remain as a farm cat under our care. Lilo can be supported with a patrimony. Animal shelter account: Tierschutz der Tat e.V. This animal was surrendered to the shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Die Katze Lilo wurde Anfang Mai im Tierheim abgegeben. Sie leidet an dauerndem Durchfall, den sie nicht halten kann. Umfangreiche Untersuchungen und ein Blutbild ergaben, dass das Problem wohl schon länger besteht, ohne dass sich eine konkrete medizinische Ursache finden lässt. Weil ihre Unterbringung auf der Quarantänestation für Lilo nicht mehr zumutbar war, haben wir uns entschieden, ihr weiteren Stress zu ersparen und ihr Freigang auf unserem Gelände zu geben. Seitdem stromert die liebe Dreifarbige fröhlich draußen herum, begleitet unsere tägliche Arbeit, begrüßt unsere Gäste und darf als Hofkatze und Team-Mitglied für immer in unserer Obhut bleiben. Gern kann man Lilo mit einer Patenschaft unterstützen. Tierheimkonto: Tierschutz der Tat e.V.

About Lilo

What life with Lilo looks like

Lilo is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Detmold in Detmold.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Lilo, answered.

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