Lulu, Hipsi Tipsi & Birgit Prinz

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Lulu, Hipsi Tipsi and Birgit Prinz are three shy little souls looking for a great home. This is who we are: We are still very scared right now. We come from a seizure with many cats and need some time to warm up. We can't be petted or cuddled yet – but we are sweet and attached to each other. A quieter environment than the animal shelter, lots of love and above all a lot of patience will surely help us to gain more trust and one day finally enjoy cat life again. We wish for... a very quiet and patient home without chaos, where we can take our time to arrive and not be asked too much. We are not velvet paws that immediately jump onto the lap in the new home to cuddle – but we also deserve security. Children should not live in the household or at least be of adolescent age and sensible. A room for acclimatization would be great, and of course we need many retreats. Do you have a heart and a knack for shy cats? If you're interested, please contact us via the inquiry form below or by phone at Garfield House 2 (daily 13-16 except Saturdays).

Wir sind Lulu, Hipsi Tipsi und Birgit Prinz … drei scheue Seelchen auf der Suche nach einem tollen Zuhause. Das sind wir: Momentan haben wir noch viel Angst. Wir stammen aus einer Sicherstellung mit sehr vielen Katzen und brauchen eine Weile zum Auftauen. An streicheln oder kuscheln ist noch nicht zu denken – aber wir sind lieb und hängen aneinander. Eine ruhigere Umgebung als das Tierheim, viel Liebe und vor allem ganz viel Geduld werden uns sicher helfen, noch mehr Vertrauen zu fassen und eines Tages endlich wieder das Katzenleben genießen zu können. Wir wünschen uns … ein sehr ruhiges und geduldiges Zuhause ohne Trubel, in dem man uns alle Zeit der Welt lässt zum Ankommen und nicht zu viel von uns verlangt. Wir sind keine Samtpfoten, die im neuen Zuhause sofort freudig auf den Schoß springen, um zu kuscheln – aber auch wir haben Geborgenheit verdient. Kinder sollten nicht mit im Haushalt leben bzw mindestens im jugendlichen Alter und verständig sein. Toll wäre ein Zimmer zur Eingewöhnung, und natürlich brauchen wir viele Rückzugsorte. Hast du ein Herz und ein Händchen für ängstliche Katzen? Melde dich bei Interesse gern über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Garfield-Haus 2 unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Lulu, Hipsi Tipsi & Birgit Prinz

What life with Lulu, Hipsi Tipsi & Birgit Prinz looks like

Lulu, Hipsi Tipsi & Birgit Prinz is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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, Hipsi Tipsi & Birgit Prinz, answered.

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