Mable

Female · Kitten · 4 months

Mable came to us as a found cat. She was pregnant, though we didn't realize it at first. At first, she was very wary, but over time she blossomed into an absolutely wonderful cat and is now quite affectionate. Mable gave birth to four kittens and also took care of two other young cats whose mother had fallen ill. She did an amazing job! Now that the little ones are big enough to stand on their own feet, it's time for Mable to start a new life. We're looking for a home for this lovely lady cat—one that will allow her to go outside later on in a low-traffic area. A second cat isn't strictly necessary. If you're interested in Mable, please send us a detailed email.

Mable kam als Fundkatze zu uns. Sie war trächtig, was wir anfangs gar nicht merkten. Sie war anfangs sehr misstrauisch, entwickelte sich aber mit der Zeit ganz toll und ist mittlerweile zutraulich. Mable brachte vier Kitten zur Welt und versorgte darüber hinaus noch zwei weitere Katzenkinder, deren Mutter erkrankt war. Das hat sie ganz toll gemacht. Jetzt sind die Kleinen groß genug, um auf eigenen Pfoten zu stehen, und so wird es auch Zeit für Mable, in ein neues Leben zu starten. Wir suchen für die hübsche Kätzin ein Zuhause mit späterem Freigang in einer verkehrsberuhigten Gegend. Eine zweite Katze muss nicht unbedingt vorhanden sein. Wenn Sie sich für Mable interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine ausführliche Mail.

About Mable

What life with Mable looks like

Mable is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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 Mable, answered.

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