Adopt Malve

Female · Young · 3 years

Our dear Malve, born in 2023, is a friendly ELH mix cat with a very gentle nature. She shows herself as calm, cuddly, and enjoys being close to people very much. Cuddles and cozy snuggling sessions definitely belong to her favorite things in daily life. Malve was found and arrived with matted fur, so her coat is currently not in its full glory. However, her fur is already growing back nicely, and one can already see what a beautiful long-haired cat she will be again. For Malve, we wish for a quiet home as a single cat, as she prefers not to share her humans. A relaxed daily routine without much hustle and bustle would suit her perfectly. Since she is suitable for apartment living, we are looking for a loving home for her as a pure indoor cat – she would surely appreciate a secure balcony or cozy sunbathing spots by the window. Anyone who wants to give a quiet and loving cat a safe home will find a loyal little companion in Malve. 🐾 If you would like to meet her, please click on the "Request Cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way, we receive all relevant information in advance for an initial conversation.

Unsere liebe Malve, geboren 2023, ist eine freundliche ELH-Mix-Katze mit einem ganz sanften Wesen. Sie zeigt sich bei uns ruhig, verschmust und genießt die Nähe zu Menschen sehr. Streicheleinheiten und gemütliche Kuschelstunden gehören für sie definitiv zu den schönsten Dingen im Alltag. Malve wurde gefunden und war bei ihrer Ankunft leider stark verfilzt, weshalb ihr Fell aktuell noch nicht wieder in voller Pracht zu sehen ist. Doch ihr Fell wächst bereits schön nach und man erkennt jetzt schon, was für eine hübsche Langhaarkatze sie einmal wieder sein wird. Für Malve wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause als Einzelkatze, denn sie möchte ihre Menschen lieber nicht teilen. Ein entspannter Alltag ohne viel Trubel würde perfekt zu ihr passen. Da sie sich in der Wohnungshaltung wohlfühlt, suchen wir für sie ein liebevolles Zuhause als reine Wohnungskatze – über einen gesicherten Balkon oder gemütliche Sonnenplätze am Fenster würde sie sich sicherlich freuen. Wer einer ruhigen und liebevollen Katze ein geborgenes Zuhause schenken möchte, bekommt mit Malve eine treue kleine Begleiterin an seine Seite. 🐾 Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Malve

What life with Malve looks like

Malve is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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 Malve, answered.

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