Lulu

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Lulu ist eine echte Charakterkatze und möchte ihr neues Zuhause gerne ganz für sich allein haben. Für sie suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder und ohne Freigang. Lulu ist keine Anfängerkatze – ihre neuen Menschen sollten bereits ein bisschen Erfahrung mit Katzen mitbringen und verstehen, dass jede Katze ihren ganz eigenen Charakter hat. Lulu ist eine liebe Maus, die einfach ihre ganz eigene Persönlichkeit mitbringt. Auch möchten wir erwähnen, dass Katzen sich im Tierheim häufig ganz anders zeigen können als später in ihrem eigenen Zuhause. Die ungewohnte Umgebung und der Tierheimalltag können das Verhalten beeinflussen. Wie Lulu sich in einem ruhigen und sicheren Zuhause entwickelt, darf man daher sicherlich noch einmal ganz neu entdecken. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, bei dem Lulu einfach Lulu sein darf? Wenn du mehr über unsere kleine Charakterkatze erfahren möchtest, schreib uns gerne. Wir erzählen dir ehrlich und ausführlich, wie Lulu ist und was sie für ihr neues Zuhause braucht.

About Lulu

What life with Lulu looks like

Lulu is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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 Herne-Wanne 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 Herne-Wanne 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 Herne-Wanne 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.
