How do I contact the shelter about Malta?

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

Can I adopt Malta if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein-Phelan 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 Malta 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 Malta 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-Phelan e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Malta 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.

Malta

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Malta is very affectionate and loves people—especially teenagers. She’s a wonderful, beautiful, and loving cat. She doesn’t like other cats, but she wouldn’t harm them as long as they don’t bother her. She could live in a large apartment or house with other cats, provided she has plenty of space to retreat and avoid them. Malta’s family no longer wanted her, so she’s now looking for a new home. Malta is a Fold-eared cat and could therefore develop health issues later on. Further information on this will, of course, be discussed with any potential interested parties. Here’s an initial assessment of Malta from her foster home ❤️: Malta is a sweet, easygoing cat. So far, she’s not particularly enthusiastic about other cats—she’ll growl and hiss if they get too close, but she won’t actually attack. She loves cuddling with people; petting her tummy is fine, but she doesn’t like being touched on her back or tail area. She greets you with a soft meow and little pats, and she’s absolutely thrilled to spend time with her human. Other cats aren’t strictly necessary, but watching them can still be quite interesting. A peaceful coexistence with a calm cat would certainly work out just fine.

Malta ist sehr anhänglich und liebt Menschen,ganz besonders Teenager. Sie ist eine wundervolle, wunderschöne, liebe Katze. Sie mag andere Katzen nicht, würde ihnen aber nichts tun, solange sie sie nicht belästigen. Sie könnte in einer großen Wohnung oder einem Haus mit anderen Katzen zusammenleben, solang sie ausweichen kann. Maltas Familie wollte sie nicht mehr haben, daher sucht sie ein neues Zuhause. Malta ist eine Faltohrkatze und könnte daher später gesundheitliche Probleme bekommen. Weitere Informationen dazu werden selbstverständlich mit eventuellen Interessenten erörtert. Erste Einschätzung von Malta aus ihrer Pflegestelle ❤️Malta ist eine liebe, unkomplizierte Katze. Andere Katzen findet sie bisher nicht begeisternd, sie knurrt und faucht, wenn diese zu nah sind – greift aber nicht an. Sie mag gerne mit den Menschen kuscheln, auch Bäuchlein kraulen ist okay, Rücken- und Schwanzbereich mag sie nicht so angefasst werden.Sie begrüßt einen mit leisem Mauzen und treteln und freut sich sehr über ihren Menschen. Andere Katzen müssen nicht unbedingt sein aber diese zu beobachten ist dann doch spannend. Eine friedliche Koexistenz mit einer ruhigen Katze geht bestimmt in Ordnung.

About Malta

What life with Malta looks like

Malta is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein-Phelan e.V. in Berlin.

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.
