Adopt LOU

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

LOU and we rescued them together with their sister Zoe from the killing station in March 2026. In the meantime, the two have settled in well and are increasingly seeking the company of humans. While the two are generally still quite similar, LOU seems to take the lead a bit more than her sister. At our shelter, the two are now getting to know fellow animals of all sizes and ages, laying the groundwork for a thorough socialization process. Despite their size, LOU and Zoe are already quite confident and sometimes a bit bold in their interactions with other dogs at the shelter. They are currently learning to walk on a leash and life in the house with the help of our volunteers. We are now looking for a home for LOU, where she can experience a loving but also consistent upbringing. Ideally, the young female dog would go to motivated beginners, provided that at the beginning there is supervision by a competent dog trainer to ensure that no mistakes are made in her upbringing.

Lou haben wir gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Zoe im März 2026 aus der Tötungsstation gerettet. In der Zwischenzeit haben sich die beiden gut eingelebt und suchen immer mehr die Nähe zu uns Menschen. Während sich die zwei allgemein noch ziemlich ähnlich sind, scheint Lou etwas mehr den Ton anzugeben als ihre Schwester. Bei uns lernen die beiden nun Artgenossen aller Größen und jeden Alters kennen, um den Grundstein einer umfangreichen Sozialisierung zu legen. Trotz ihrer Größe sind Lou und Zoe im Hundekontakt schon jetzt manchmal ziemlich selbstbewusst und gerne auch mal etwas frecher. Das Laufen an der Leine und das Leben im Haus lernen sie an der Seite unserer Volontäre aktuell kennen. Für Lou suchen wir nun ein Zuhause, in dem sie eine liebevolle, aber ebenso konsequente Erziehung erfahren darf. Gerne darf die junge Hündin zu motivierten Hundeanfängern ziehen, sofern zu Beginn die Betreuung durch einen kompetenten Hundetrainer gewährleistet ist, damit sich keine Fehler in die Erziehung einschleichen können. Ein souveräner Ersthund, der Lou auch mal Grenzen aufzeigt, würde ihr den Start in ihr neues Leben sicher erleichtern, ist aber keine Voraussetzung für eine

About LOU

What life with LOU looks like

LOU is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. 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. 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 LOU, answered.

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