Lulu

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Lulu was given up with her kittens for financial reasons. The pretty cat with the shiny black coat is actually a very loving cat, but she is very shy and sensitive and therefore hides with us most of the time. She gets along well with other cats and also with dogs, children are also no problem as long as they are not too lively. Outdoor access in a quiet environment should be possible.

Lulu wurde zusammen mit ihren Kindern aus finanziellen Gründen abgegeben. Die hübsche Katze mit dem glänzend-schwarzen Fell ist eigentlich eine sehr liebe Katze, ist allerdings sehr schüchtern und sensibel und versteckt sich deshalb bei uns die meiste Zeit. Sie kommt gut mit anderen Katzen und auch mit Hunden aus, auch Kinder sind eigentlich kein Problem, solange diese nicht zu lebhaft sind. Freigangmöglichkeit in ruhiger Umgebung sollte möglich sein.

About Lulu

What life with Lulu looks like

Lulu is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Darmstadt in Darmstadt.

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 Darmstadt 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 Darmstadt 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 Darmstadt 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.
