Maja

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Hello, I'm Maja, and I'm estimated to be about 1 year old. I was found alone on the street in Adelebsen. I've since been neutered and am still waiting for my vaccination. I still find people a little spooky. I like to watch you up close and am often right in the middle of things. I don't want to be touched, however. If someone gets too close to me, I make my boundaries clear and will bite as well. I'm simply not a cuddly cat. I wish for people who expect nothing from me and simply accept me the way I am. With patience and respect. In return, I'm a beautiful cat with a very special character. I don't have to lie on your lap to be a member of the family. Free-roaming is indispensable for me. I want to make my rounds and decide for myself when I come home. I'm happy to do without other cats. I feel much more comfortable as a single princess. Maybe you're looking for exactly this kind of cat, one with a mind of her own, and that's exactly what makes her so special. Your Maja 🐾 📩 Location: Adelebsen.

Hallo, ich bin Maja und werde auf etwa 1 Jahr geschätzt. Ich wurde allein auf der Straße in Adelebsen gefunden. Inzwischen bin ich kastriert und warte noch auf meine Impfung. Menschen finde ich immer noch ein bisschen gruselig. Ich beobachte euch gerne aus der Nähe und bin oft mittendrin. Anfassen möchte ich allerdings nicht. Wenn mir jemand zu nahe kommt, zeige ich deutlich meine Grenzen und beiße auch. Ich bin eben keine Schmusekatze. Ich wünsche mir Menschen, die nichts von mir erwarten und mich einfach so akzeptieren, wie ich bin. Mit Geduld und Respekt. Dafür bin ich eine wunderschöne Katze mit einem ganz besonderen Charakter. Ich muss nicht auf dem Schoß liegen, um ein Familienmitglied zu sein. Freigang ist für mich unverzichtbar. Ich möchte meine Runden drehen und selbst entscheiden, wann ich nach Hause komme. Auf andere Katzen verzichte ich gerne. Ich fühle mich als Einzelprinzessin deutlich wohler. Vielleicht suchst genau du eine Katze, die ihren eigenen Kopf hat und genau deshalb so besonders ist. Deine Maja 🐾 📩 Ort: Adelebsen.

About Maja

What life with Maja looks like

Maja is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhof(fnung) e.V. 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. Tierhof(fnung) 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 — Tierhof(fnung) 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. 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 Tierhof(fnung) 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.
