Livin

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Livin still retreats quite a bit with us, so visitors don't immediately see her. She gets along very well with other cats, often sitting with other cats together on a dog bed. She would therefore be perfect as a second cat (added to a non-dominant other cat). She is overall very quiet. If you take gentle contact with her, she really enjoys being stroked. She probably just needs a little more time to get used to new surroundings. A quiet household without small children would be helpful. A later release should be possible. This cat needs outdoor access.

Livin zieht sich bei uns leider noch sehr zurück, deshalb sehen Besucher sie nicht auf Anhieb. Mit anderen Katzen versteht sie sich sehr gut, oft sitzt sie mit anderen Katzen zusammen in einem Körbchen. Sie wäre also prima als Zweitkatze (zu einer nicht zu dominanten anderen Katze hinzu) geeignet. Sie ist insgesamt sehr ruhig. Wenn man vorsichtig Kontakt mit ihr aufnimmt, dann lässt sie sich sehr gerne streicheln. Sie braucht vermutlich einfach ein bißchen länger, bis sie sich an neue Gegebenheiten gewöhnt hat. Ein ruhiger Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder wäre hilfreich. Späterer Freigang sollte möglich sein.

About Livin

What life with Livin looks like

Livin is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Darmstadt in Darmstadt.

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 Livin, answered.

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