MABEL

Unknown · Young · 1 year

Mabel ist eine etwa 1,5 Jahre alte Katzendame, die mit ihrer fröhlichen und verspielten Art schnell die Herzen erobert. Sie mag Menschen sehr gerne und freut sich über Aufmerksamkeit und gemeinsame Zeit. Gleichzeitig ist Mabel eine aktive junge Katze, die gerne spielt und beschäftigt wird. Mit anderen Katzen kann Mabel grundsätzlich zusammenleben. Allerdings braucht sie etwas Zeit, um sich an einen Artgenossen zu gewöhnen. Ihre neuen Menschen sollten ihr deshalb die nötige Ruhe und Geduld für eine behutsame Zusammenführung geben. Für Mabel wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause mit Freigang, in dem sie nach Herzenslust ihre Umgebung erkunden und anschließend wieder zu ihren Menschen nach Hause kommen kann. Wer eine junge, verspielte und menschenbezogene Katze sucht und bereit ist, ihr bei der Eingewöhnung etwas Zeit zu geben, sollte Mabel unbedingt kennenlernen. Vielleicht ist sie genau die kleine Persönlichkeit, die noch im Zuhause fehlt. Mabel ist seit dem 11.7.2026 bei uns.

About MABEL

What life with MABEL looks like

MABEL is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Dorsten in Dorsten.

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 MABEL, answered.

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