How do I contact the shelter about LILOU?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenzuflucht e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw LILOU on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt LILOU if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenzuflucht 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 LILOU 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 LILOU 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 Katzenzuflucht e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know LILOU 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.

Adopt LILOU

Mixed Breed · Female

Our cute Grayish LILOU is a wonderful velvety paw with a very loving and social personality. Unfortunately, she is always overlooked because she does not push herself to the forefront and is also shy with strangers at first. Once she is settled in, she is a loyal, gentle roommate who always likes to watch what her people are doing and is happy to cuddle at any time. She also makes wonderful butzepfötchen and then kneepfötchen. A wonderful velvety paw that merely needs a little time to settle in and is happy about every day she is not pressured. She came all by herself. LILOU gets along very well with other cats; she even shares the food bowl with others. However, she is more of a quiet nature; her younger foster mates sometimes overwhelm her in the heat of the moment. She would like to have a slightly more quiet companion in her new home; she can also complete a trio with a couple. If someone is home a lot or works mainly from home and thus has a lot of time for her velvety paw, she can also move in as a single cat. But then she definitely needs a free run in a good, quiet, and green area without nearby busy streets. If she lives with a companion, a well-secured garden or a beautiful large outdoor enclosure, a green and enclosed courtyard, etc., would also suffice. If you are interested in our dear little tiger girl, please contact us via our contact form or directly by email. You can also reach us by phone (also WhatsApp). A brief note about yourself: Please include a phone number with your inquiry, and if for a free run, also your address, and introduce yourself and the new home briefly. We present our cats to the best of our knowledge and conscience. Many thanks! When you click on the photo, the view enlarges.

Unser hübsches Grautigerchen Lilou ist eine wunderbare Samtpfote mit einem ganz lieben und sozialen Charakter. Leider wird sie immer übersehen, weil sie sich nicht in den Vordergrund drängelt und bei Fremden auch erst einmal schüchtern ist. Einmal eingewöhnt, ist sie eine treue sanfte Mitbewohnerin, die immer gerne schaut, was ihre Menschen so machen und sich über Streicheleinheiten jederzeit freut. Sie macht auch von Herzen gern Butzeköpfchen und anschließend Bückelchen. Eine wunderbare Samtpfote, die lediglich ein bisschen Zeit zum Eingewöhnen braucht und sich anfangs über jeden Tag freut, an dem man sie nicht bedrängt. Sie kommt von ganz alleine ? Mit anderen Katzen versteht sich Lilou sehr gut, sie teilt sogar den Futterteller mit anderen. Allerdings ist sie vom Wesen her eher ruhiger, ihre jüngeren Mitpflegis überrennen sie manchmal im Eifer des Gefechts ? Sie würde sich im neuen Zuhause einen etwas ruhigeren Gefährten wünschen, sie kann auch gerne ein Pärchen zum Trio vervollständigen. Wenn jemand ganz viel zu Hause ist oder überwiegend im Homeoffice arbeitet o.ä. und daher viel Zeit für seine Samtpfote hat, kann sie auch als Einzelkatze umziehen. Was sie dann aber erst recht braucht, ist Freigang in guter ruhiger und grüner Gegend ohne starke befahrene Straßen in der Nähe. Wenn sie mit einem Kumpel zusammenlebt, würde auch ein gut gesicherter Garten oder ein schönes großes Außengehege, ein begrünter und abgeschlossener Innenhof etc. reichen. Wenn Sie sich für unser liebes Tigermädchen interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte über unser Kontaktformular oder direkt eine E-Mail an . Telefonisch erreichen Sie uns unter (auch WhatsApp). Ein kurzer Hinweis in eigener Sache: Schicken Sie bitte bei einer Anfrage direkt eine Telefonnummer mit, bei Freigang bitte auch Ihre Anschrift und stellen Sie sich und das neue Zuhause bitte auch kurz vor. Wir stellen unsere Katzen ja auch nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen vor. Vielen Dank! Beim Klick auf das Foto vergrößert sich die Ansicht.

About LILOU

What life with LILOU looks like

LILOU is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenzuflucht e.V. in Much.

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.
