Lulu

Scottish Fold · Female · Young · 1 year

Lulu, 1 year old Scottish Fold, is looking for a new home. She was previously operated on for an abdominal foreign body and had a long recovery period. However, she is now healthy and wants to move to a new home. She is currently living with her colleague Naty, but would like to be an only princess. If you are interested in adopting Lulu, please note that she may be prone to the breed-specific disease OCD.

DE·Show original

Voraussetzung: Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon. Entschuldigung? Ich bin Lulu, 1 Jahr alt und eine Scottish Fold. Ursprünglich hatte ich einen Fremdkörper im Bauch und wurde deswegen operiert, danach brauchte ich eine sehr lange Genesungszeit und es stand erst mal gar nicht so gut um mich. Aber das ist Vergangenheit, jetzt bin ich fit und möchte gerne in ein neues Zuhause ziehen. Ich sitze aktuell mit meiner Kollegin Naty zusammen, mit der ich mir vorstellen könnte, meine Menschen zu teilen, ansonsten möchte ich aber unbedingt Einzelprinzessin sein. Wenn ich dich mit meinem zauberhaften Blick angesprochen habe und du dir im Klaren bist, dass ich später eventuell mal Probleme mit der Rassetypischen Krankheit OCD bekommen könnte, dann melde dich gerne.

About Lulu

What life with Lulu looks like

Lulu is a young adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Essen 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 Essen 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 Essen 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.
