How do I contact the shelter about Lily?

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

Can I adopt Lily if I live in another country?

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

Lily

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Lily is a friendly, sociable and very playful cat. She especially enjoys playing with a fishing rod and anything that moves. She wants people who regularly take time for games together. At the same time, Lily is affectionate and likes to seek the closeness of her humans. She likes to cuddle and also likes to lie on someone's lap. She can easily stay alone for a few hours during the day. Lily is curious and likes to explore her surroundings. She likes to sit by the window or on a secure balcony and watch birds. She also likes elevated vantage points. She shows herself open and trusting to visitors. Lily can be adopted to an existing cat. So far, she has been uncomplicated about food. Lily was born on 02.07.2025, is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. We wish Lily a home where she gets both activity and play as well as closeness and affection. A secure balcony would be nice.

About Lily

Lily is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenrettung Gangelt e.V. in Gangelt.

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.
