Luna

Female · Kitten · 7 months

Luna was caught in a live trap. She was born outside and spent her first months without direct human contact. As a result, Luna is a shy female cat that requires a lot of time and patience from her new owners. With calmness, people she knows can touch her, but still, some tact is required. Therefore, Luna is looking for a home without children, as noise and fast movements are too much for her. Since Luna gets along well with other cats, a confident cat by her side would be a good help for her. After an extensive settling-in period, Luna wants to get outdoor access again.

DE·Show original

Luna wurde mit einer Lebendfalle eingefangen. Sie wurde draußen geboren und sie hat ihre ersten Lebensmonate ohne direkten Menschenkontakt verbracht. Daher ist Luna eine scheue Katzendame, die viel Zeit und Geduld von ihren neuen Menschen fordert. Luna lässt sich mit viel Ruhe von Personen die sie kennt schon etwas anfassen. Hier ist aber noch Fingerspitzengefühl gefragt. Daher sucht Luna auch ein zu Hause ohne Kinder, denn Lärm und schnelle Bewegungen sind ihr einfach zu viel. Da sich Luna gut mit anderen Katzen versteht, wäre eine souveräne Katze an ihrer Seite eine gute Hilfe für sie. Luna möchte nach einer ausgiebigen Eingewöhnungszeit wieder Freigang bekommen.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Braunschweig in Braunschweig.

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. 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 Luna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luna?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Braunschweig 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 Braunschweig 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 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 Braunschweig 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
