Loca

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Haltung: Wohnung (gerne mit Balkon)/Zweitkatze Rasse: BKH-Mix Farbe: grau Geb.-Datum: 01.05.2023 Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: ja Im Tierheim seit: 09.05.2026 Loca wurde draußen gefunden und zu uns ins Tierheim gebracht. ´Da sie scheinbar nicht vermisst wird, ist sie bereit für den Einzug in ihr Für-immer-Zuhause. Die bezaubernde Katzendame zeigt sich bei uns stets von einer freundlichen Seite: Sie liebt es, gestreichelt zu werden, und genießt jede Form von menschlicher Zuwendung in vollen Zügen. Auch Artgenossen gegenüber zeigt sie sich äußerst aufgeschlossen, friedlich und verträglich. Da sie die Gesellschaft anderer Katzen so sehr schätzt, wünschen wir uns für Loca ein Zuhause, in dem bereits ein freundlicher Artgenosse auf sie wartet oder wo sie zusammen mit einer passenden Katze aus unserem Tierheim einziehen darf.

About Loca

What life with Loca looks like

Loca is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Velbert in Velbert.

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 Loca, answered.

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