Adopt Lucy

Mixed Breed · Female

At the beginning of September, I was found as a small bundle alone on a field. Completely soaked and hypothermic, the loving couple took me in and made sure I was alive. That’s how I ended up at the foster home, where I found friends. By the end of October, my treatment is finished, and I am now searching for a new home. I would love to be with a similarly aged or younger cat, as I have quite the spunk. Kids come to visit me from time to time, and I think they are cool. I haven’t made any friends with dogs yet.

Anfang September wurde ich von einem Hund als kleines Bündel alleine auf einem Feld gefunden. Völlig durchnässt und unterkühlt hat mich das tierliebe Paar mit genommen und mich erstmal lebensfähig gemacht. So kam ich dann auf die Pflegestelle, auf der ich Freunde gefunden habe. Ende Oktober ist meine Behandlung abgeschlossen und suche dann ein neues Zuhause. Am liebsten zu einer gleichaltrigen oder jüngeren Katze dazu, ich habe nämlich ganz schön Pfeffer im Hintern. Kinder kommen mich hin und wieder besuchen, sie finde ich cool. Mit Hunden konnte ich noch keine Bekanntschaft machen.

About Lucy

What life with Lucy looks like

Lucy is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. in Ulm.

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, answered.

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