Maja

Female · 13 months

We took the young cat Maja into our care because some residents felt bothered by the very friendly cat, as she sought contact and was probably hungry. Maja was, of course, neither microchipped nor neutered, despite the neutering and identification requirements in Werdohl. The irresponsible owner does not seem to have considered what consequences this could have had for the adventurous female cat. Maja is now looking for a new home in a safe environment where, after getting settled in, she may go outdoors again. Unfortunately, Maja does not get along very well with other cats and would prefer the company of people. Contact

Wir haben die junge Maja in unsere Obhut genommen, weil sich einige Anwohner von der sehr zutraulichen Katze belästigt fühlten, da sie Kontakt suchte und wahrscheinlich hungrig war. Maja war natürlich weder gechipt, noch kastriert, trotz Kastrations- und Kennzeichnungspflicht in Werdohl. Welche Folgen das für die unternehmungslustige, weibliche Katze gehabt hätte, darüber scheint sich der verantwortungslose Besitzer keine Gedanken gemacht zu haben. Maja sucht jetzt ein neues Zuhause in einer sicheren Umgebung, wo sie nach Eingewöhnung wieder in den Freigang darf. Leider ist Maja nicht sehr verträglich mit anderen Katzen und würde die Gesellschaft des Menschen bevorzugen. Kontakt

About Maja

What life with Maja looks like

Maja is an adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Werdohl-Neuenrade in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maja, answered.

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