How do I contact the shelter about Malaika?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Malaika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Malaika if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Malaika 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 Malaika 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Malaika 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Malaika has won her ticket to happiness! Her story: Malaika is a 3-year-old cat with an initially rather shy personality. But aren't it often the cats that are a bit shy at first the ones that become the most affectionate once their trust has been earned? We wish very much that Malaika finds a person here who is patient with her and gives her the time she needs to blossom. Who gives Malaika a chance? The kitten was caught after an elderly woman who fed Malaika in her garden noticed that she was having a very hard time outside on the street. Since then, she has recovered in the care of her foster home and is beginning to adapt to a safe and comfortable life. Malaika is ready to move into her first own home. She needs loving and patient owners who give her the time she needs to get used to her new environment. Despite her somewhat reserved nature, she is not aggressive and is beginning to get used to gentle and careful petting. Malaika needs the company of other cats to feel safe and comfortable, which is why she is not rehomed in single-cat arrangements. Whether she gets along with dogs has not been tested yet. However, we would recommend not taking the risk to not scare the poor Malaika. Additionally, she should only be rehomed in suitable apartment living conditions, as she has adapted very well to this and the life with a free roam poses many risks for more skittish cats. For her travel arrangements, Malaika, like all our cats and tomcats, is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated. She has already been tested negative for FIV and FeLV and an EU pet passport is packed with her. This cat needs outdoor access.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Malaika hat ihr Ticket ins Glück ergattert! Ihre Geschichte: Malaika ist eine 3-jährige Katze mit einer anfangs eher schüchternen Persönlichkeit. Aber sind es nicht gerade die anfangs etwas scheuen Katzen, die meist die anhänglichsten werden, wenn man einmal ihr Vertrauen gewinnen konnte? Wir wünschen Malaika sehr, dass sich hier ein Mensch für sie findet, der viel Geduld für sie aufbringt und ihr die Zeit gibt, die sie braucht, um aufzublühen. Wer gibt Malaika eine Chance? Das Kätzchen wurde eingefangen, nachdem eine besorgte ältere Dame, die Malaika in ihrem Garten fütterte, bemerkte, dass sie es draußen auf der Straße sehr schwer hatte. Seitdem hat sie sich in der Obhut ihrer Pflegestelle erholt und angefangen, sich an ein sicheres und komfortables Leben zu gewöhnen. Malaika ist bereit, in ein erstes eigenes Zuhause zu ziehen. Sie benötigt liebevolle und geduldige Besitzer, die ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht, um sich an ihre neue Umgebung zu gewöhnen. Trotz ihrer etwas zurückhaltenden Natur ist sie nicht aggressiv und beginnt sich bereits an vorsichtiges Streicheln zu gewöhnen, solange es sanft und behutsam ist. Malaika braucht die Gesellschaft anderer Katzen, um sich wohl und sicher zu fühlen, weshalb sie nicht in Einzelhaltung vermittelt wird. Ob sie sich auch mit Hunden versteht, konnte bisher nicht getestet werden. Jedoch würden wir empfehlen, hier kein Risiko einzugehen, um die arme Malaika nicht zu verschrecken. Außerdem soll sie auch in Zukunft nur in Wohnungshaltung leben, da sie sich sehr gut daran gewöhnt hat und das Leben mit Freigang gerade für die schreckhafteren Katzen viele Risiken birgt. Bei ihrer Ausreise ist Malaika, wie all unsere Katzen und Kater, kastriert, gechippt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Auf FIV und FeLV wurde sie bereits negativ getestet und einen EU-Heimtierausweis packt sie ebenfalls ins Köfferchen. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr in Höhe von 250 Euro kann sie in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen. Vielen Dank Melanie, dass du mit deiner Namenspatenschaft einen wichtigen Teil zur
