Luna

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten

Luna is a female British-Longhair mix, born around 2022, who has been at the shelter since April 20, 2026. She is a house cat and was given up due to a child's allergy. Luna does not like to be touched and seeks people who give her a lot of time. Grooming is also a big problem for her, as she does not like to be brushed. Some tests have shown that Luna has a peritoneopericardial hernia, a congenital malformation where a hole in the diaphragm connects the abdominal cavity directly to the pericardium. This can cause parts of organs such as liver lobes, small intestine, etc. to slip into the pericardium. In Luna's case, part of the liver has slipped into the pericardium. Since Luna has no health problems, surgery is not necessary at this time. However, the heart must be regularly checked so that possible problems can be detected early. An annual echocardiogram should be performed. We only place our cats in a home with existing companion animals or another friend. We only place outdoor cats in quiet residential areas.

Geschlecht: weiblich Geboren am: ca. 2022 Rasse: British-Langhaar Mix Im Tierheim seit: 20.04.2026 Haltung: WohnungLuna wurde bei uns wegen einer Allergie der Kinder abgegeben. Luna mag nicht gerne angefasst werden und sucht Menschen, die ihr viel Zeit geben. Auch Fellpflege ist aktuell noch ein großes Problem. Bürsten mag sie gar nicht. Bei einigen Untersuchungen hat sich herausgestellt, dass Luna eine peritoneoperikardiale Hernie hat. Dabei handelt es sich um eine angeborene Fehlbildung, ein Loch im Zwerchfell verbindet die Bauchhöhle direkt mit dem Herzbeutel. Dadurch können Teile von Organen wie Leberlappen, Dünndarm usw. in den Herzbeutel rutschen. Bei Luna ist ein Teil der Leber in den Herzbeutel gerutscht. Da Luna keine gesundheitlichen Probleme hat ist zum jetzigen Stand keine Operation notwendig. Dennoch muss das Herz regelmäßig kontrolliert werden, da mögliche Probleme frühzeitig festgestellt werden können. Jährlich sollte ein Herzultraschall gemacht werden.In Wohnungshaltung vermitteln wir unsere Katzen nur zu bereits vorhandenen Partnertieren oder mit einem weiteren Kumpel. Freigänger Katzen vermitteln wir nur in ruhige Wohngegenden.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Lübbecke in Lübbecke.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Luna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luna?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Lübbecke handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Luna if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Lübbecke 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Luna 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 Luna 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 Lübbecke early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luna 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.
