Lulu

British Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Lulu is a British Shorthair cat born around June 2025 and came to our shelter as an unspayed stray. Lulu is very people-oriented and affectionate. She needs hypoallergenic food because she can't tolerate other types. She has a panic fear of other animals, probably because she hasn't met them before. We are looking for a home for Lulu where the people are not away from home for long periods. A calm cat as a companion would be ideal in the long run for apartment living, but this should never be dominant or pushy. Cat lovers who know how to socialize and have patience are needed here.

Die British Kurzhaarkatze Lulu ist ca. Juni 2025 geboren und kam als unkastrierte Fundkatze zu uns ins Tierheim. Lulu ist sehr menschenbezogen und auch verschmust. Sie braucht Allergiekerfutter, weil sie anderes nicht verträgt. Vor anderen Tieren hat sie panische Angst, vermutlich weil sie es nicht kennengelernt hat. Wir suchen für Lulu ein Zuhause, wo die Menschen möglichst nicht lange berufsbedingt außer Haus sind. Eine oder ein ruhige/r gechillter Katze/Kater als Kumpel wären natürlich auf Dauer bei reiner Wohnungshaltung schon wünschenswert. Diese/r sollte aber keinesfalls dominant oder aufdringlich sein. Katzenfreunde, die sich mit der Vergesellschaftung auskennen und auch die Geduld aufbringen, sind hier gefragt.

About Lulu

What life with Lulu looks like

Lulu is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

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 Lulu, answered.

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