Lucy (externe Vermittlungshilfe)

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

A very unfortunate story. The owner locked his cats out and won't let them back in because he doesn't want to keep them anymore. Neighbors have cats themselves and can't take them in and are trying to help. Unfortunately, we don't know where to put the surrendered and found animals because we are flooded with sick found animals and sick seizures that are time-consuming and require care. I can only help with external placement assistance if owners want to give up their animals or need to. Therefore, yes, the girl is not spayed and has been in contact with an animal that probably has cat flu and is wormed. So please don't put her with healthy animals. The animal has not been treated by a veterinarian. But here is the description from the neighbors. We are all at the end of our wits and our strength, we can no longer cope with the cat flood, we CAN'T help anymore, although we want to. Lucy is a 3-year-old real little diva but she has a lot of love to give. She likes it quiet and orderly - prefers women. But with the right owners she can also get along well with men. The affectionate kitten has been a free-roaming cat and was locked out of her home. She can have her own head and has trouble getting along with dogs but has lived with dogs and other cats for a long time. She is very loyal and can get jealous quickly but is suitable for children - you just have to give her some peace and quiet. Despite this, she is very affectionate and enjoys a warm bed. She often had to have babies with her old owners - now she wants to be a baby again and feel care.

Leider eine sehr unschöne Geschichte. Der Halter sperrte seine Katzen aus und liess sie nicht mehr in die Wohnung, weil er sie nicht mehr halten will. Nachbarn haben selbst Katzen und können sie nicht aufnehmen und versuchen so zu helfen. Leider wissen wir nicht mehr wohin mit den Abgabe- und Fundtieren, da wir mit kranken Fundtieren und kranken Sicherstellungen überschwemmt sind, die Platz-, Zeit- und Pflegeaufwändig sind. Ich kann teilweise nur noch mit externen Vermittlungshilfsangeboten helfen, wenn Halter ihre Tiere abgeben wollen oder müssen. Deswegen ja, das Mädchen ist nicht kastriert und hatte Kontakt zu einem Tier, das wahrscheinlich Katzenschnupfen hat und verwurmt ist. Also bitte nicht zu gesunden Tieren setzen. Das Tier ist nicht tierärztlich versorgt. Aber hier die Beschreibung der Nachbarn. Den wir sind alle am Ende unseres Lateins und unserer Kraft, wir werden der Katzenflut nicht mehr gerecht, KÖNNEN nicht mehr helfen, obwohl wir es wollen. Lucy ist eine 3 Jahre alte echte kleine Diva aber sie hat viel Liebe zu geben. Sie mag es ruhig und geordnet - am liebsten Frauen. Aber bei den richtigen Besitzern kann sie bestimmt auch gut mit Männern. Das verschmuste Kätzchen ist Freigänger gewesen und wurde von ihrem Zuhause ausgesperrt. Sie kann ihren eigenen Kopf haben und hat Anlaufprobleme mit Hunden aber hat lange mit Hunden und anderen Katzen gewohnt. Sie ist sehr treu und kann schnell eifersüchtig werden aber ist kinder geeignet - man muss ihr nur mal ihre Ruhe gönnen. Trotz dessen ist sie super zutraulich und freut sich über ein warmes Bettchen. Sie musste bei ihren alten Besitzern oft Babies bekommen - jetzt möchte sie wieder Baby sein und Fürsorge spüren.

About Lucy (externe Vermittlungshilfe)

What life with Lucy (externe Vermittlungshilfe) looks like

Lucy (externe Vermittlungshilfe) is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Kolner Tierschutzverein in Köln.

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 Lucy (externe Vermittlungshilfe), answered.

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