Maibritt

British Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Nantje und Tochter Maibritt werden nur zusammen vermittelt. Freigang in sehr ruhiger Umgebung wäre schön, da Nantje diesen kennt, noch schöner wäre aber ein vom Haus aus begehbares Außengehege, bzw. ein ausreichend gesicherter Garten (ein hoher Zaun alleine reicht nicht, ein vernünftiger Überkletterschutz muss dann zusätzlich vorhanden sein). Die reine Wohnungshaltung kommt hier nicht in Frage. Aufgrund unserer aktuellen personellen Situation, kann es leider länger dauern, als uns lieb ist, bis wir dazu kommen auf Anfragen zu Antworten. Wir entschuldigen uns vielmals!

About Maibritt

What life with Maibritt looks like

Maibritt is a puppy/kitten british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Elmshorn in Elmshorn.

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 Maibritt, answered.

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