Luca

British Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

Die liebe Luca kam zu uns, weil ihre Besitzerin verstorben ist. Sie ist eine sehr liebe Katze, die allerdings etwas zu viel auf den Rippen hat. Vielleicht konnte sich die Besitzerin zuletzt nicht mehr richtig um sie kümmern, vielleicht ist Luca aber auch einfach sehr verfressen. Wir wissen es leider nicht. In ihrem zukünftigen Zuhause sollte sie auf jeden Fall etwas abspecken, dann klappt es auch besser mit der Fellpflege. Luca wurde mit einem Kater abgegeben, aber die beiden verstehen sich absolut nicht. Luca scheint gar keine Artgenossen zu mögen, denn sie meckert jeden an, der sich ihr nähert. Wir würden sie deshalb gerne als Einzelkatze in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon vermitteln. Zu Menschen, die viel Zeit haben und mit ihr an ihrer Bikinifigur arbeiten.

About Luca

What life with Luca looks like

Luca is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

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 Luca, answered.

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