Lioba

Female · Kitten · 18 months

Lioba descends from a shy stray cat and was rescued together with another kitten and their mother shortly after birth. Because the mother guarded her babies like a lioness during their upbringing, unfortunately the young cats are still very shy around people. We are looking for a calm home for Lioba with very patient people who also bring the necessary experience with shy cats. An existing friendly cat of the same age would be an advantage during the settling-in period. We do not place kittens in single-cat households! Contact

DE·Show original

Lioba stammt von einer scheuen Streunerkatze ab und konnte kurz nach der Geburt zusammen mit einem weiteren Kitten und der Katzenmutter gesichert werden. Da diese während der Aufzucht ihre Babys wie eine Löwenmutter bewacht hat, verhalten sich die Jungtiere dem Menschen gegenüber leider immer noch sehr scheu. Wir suchen für Lioba ein ruhiges Zuhause bei sehr geduldigen Menschen, die auch die nötige Erfahrung mit scheuen Katzen mitbringen. Eine vorhandene zutrauliche Katze im gleichen Alter wäre bei der Eingewöhnung von Vorteil. Wir vermitteln Jungtiere nicht in Einzelhaltung! Kontakt

About Lioba

What life with Lioba looks like

Lioba is a kitten cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Werdohl-Neuenrade in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lioba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lioba?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Werdohl-Neuenrade handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lioba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lioba if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Werdohl-Neuenrade 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lioba 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 Lioba 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 Tierschutzverein Werdohl-Neuenrade early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lioba 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.
