Mara

Female

Mara is a very loving and affectionate young cat who enjoys playing and cuddling. She actively seeks out close relationships and quickly shows how much affection she has to give. She has already been rehomed, but she didn't get along with the existing tomcat. Therefore, we would like Mara to have a home as a single princess where she can settle down in peace and receive full attention. Mara is looking for a home with plenty of time and affection, and would also enjoy being a family cat as she really enjoys human company. She is suitable for indoor living, a balcony would be nice but is not essential.

DE·Show original

Mara ist eine sehr liebe und anhängliche junge Katze, die sowohl gerne spielt als auch ausgiebig kuschelt. Sie sucht aktiv Nähe und zeigt schnell, wie viel Zuneigung in ihr steckt.Sie war bereits vermittelt, doch dort hat sie sich mit dem vorhandenen Kater nicht verstanden. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für Mara zunächst ein Zuhause als Einzelprinzessin, in dem sie ganz in Ruhe ankommen darf und die volle Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Mara sucht ein Zuhause mit viel Zeit und Zuwendung, gerne auch als Familienkatze, denn sie genießt menschliche Nähe sehr. Sie eignet sich für Innenhaltung, ein Balkon wäre schön, ist aber kein Muss.

About Mara

What life with Mara looks like

Mara is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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 Mara, answered.

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