Adopt Malin

European Shorthair · Female

Hello! My name is Malin and I am a tabby cat with white paws and a bit of white on my chin. I was estimated to be 1.5 years old, as I was found outside and no one missed me. But as befits a young kitty girl, I quickly adapted and feel quite comfortable in my "transition home" at our shelter. Why not? Everyone is nice to me, I always get something to eat, and I have a cozy snuggle cave too. Miau! But the best part are definitely the other kitties! There's no holding back and I greet them happily, snuggling up and being more than happy to play with them. Of course, the exuberant play is very important for me – just like my curiosity, because I might miss out on something... or someone... namely you! And you'd ideally have a nice garden for me to run and play in, maybe also some bigger kids and a comfy couch for all of us. Other cats, well, some I think are great, others are not really my thing. So I'd much prefer to be your solo princess and then see if my neighbor's cat is to my liking. I want to choose that one myself. Miau!. Suitable only for households with older children.

Huhu! Ich heiße Malin und bin eine getigerte Katze mit weißen Pfötchen und etwas Weiß am Kinn. Ich wurde auf 1,5 Jahre geschätzt, denn auch ich wurde draußen gefunden und keiner hat mich vermisst. Doch wie es sich für ein junges Katzenmädchen gehört, habe ich mich schnell damit arrangiert und fühle mich ganz wohl in meinem „Übergangszuhause” Tierheim. Warum auch nicht? Alle sind lieb zu mir, ich bekomme immer was zu futtern und eine gemütliche Kuschelhöhle habe ich auch. Miau! Doch das Größte sind natürlich die Steicheltanten! Da gibt es kein Halten mehr und ich begrüße sie freudig, schmiege mich an und schmuse nur zu gern mit denen. Natürlich ist auch das ausgelassene Spiel ganz wichtig für mich – genau wie meine Neugierde, denn ich könnte ja was verpassen … oder wen verpassen … nämlich Sie! Und Sie haben idealerweise einen schönen Garten zum Toben und Spielen für mich, vielleicht auch etwas größere Kinder und eine kuschelige Couch für uns alle. Andere Katzen, nun ja, also einige finde ich toll, andere sind nicht so mein Fall. Also ziehe ich am liebsten als Einzelprinzessin zu Ihnen und schau dann mal, ob Nachbars Katze mir gefällt. Die möchte ich unbedingt selbst aussuchen. Miau!

About Malin

What life with Malin looks like

Malin is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

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. 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 Malin, answered.

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