Maja

Female · Kitten · 4 months

Maja ca. 2023: Maja is a loving cat who finally wants to arrive at her new home. She is initially shy, but once she warms up, there's no stopping her; she purrs, enjoys being petted, and delights in closeness and attention. She was found with her kittens in a garage, and we can only imagine what she and her babies endured. At first, she hisses out of insecurity, but she is gentle, curious, interested, and never aggressive.

Maja *ca. 2023: Maja ist eine liebe Katze, die endlich ankommen möchte. Sie ist anfangs zurückhaltend, aber wenn sie aufgetaut ist, gibt es kein Halten mehr, dann schmust sie, lässt sich gerne streicheln und freut sich über Nähe und Aufmerksamkeit. Sie wurde mit ihren Kitten in einer Garage gefunden und wir möchten uns nicht vorstellen, was sie und ihre Babys durchgemacht haben. Anfangs faucht sie aus Unsicherheit, aber sie ist lieb, neugierig, interessiert und nie aggressiv. Sie ist eine tolle Katze, die bereit ist, lieben, geduldigen Menschen als Dank ihr Herz zu schenken❤️ Maja ist bei

About Maja

What life with Maja looks like

Maja is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. in Schalkenbach.

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 Maja, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maja?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. 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 — Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. 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 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 Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
