Mara

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Mara - On Silent Paws to Happiness Mara is a beautiful female domestic shorthair cat, born around May 15, 2026. The little cat came to our shelter as a found animal and is now looking for a loving home where she can arrive quietly and gain trust. Mara is currently rather shy and reserved. She simply needs some time to get used to new people and her surroundings. That's why we are looking for quiet and patient people who don't demand anything from her and give her the opportunity to thaw at her own pace. A household without small children would be ideal for the sensitive young cat. With calmness, understanding, and some patience, Mara can learn that people mean well to her. Mara should not grow up alone and will therefore only be placed with two - either together with another kitten or a suitable, same-aged cat. Especially for a still shy cat, a cat partner can be a valuable support. Together, you can play, romp, cuddle, and discover the big world. Later out into the big world Mara is intended as an outdoor cat. After a corresponding acclimatization period, she may later explore her surroundings and live out her curiosity on small and large discovery tours. Due to her young age, Mara is not yet spayed. Who gives Mara time? Mara may not be the kitten that immediately approaches every person with curiosity. She needs people who give her time and show her that she is safe and secure. We wish for the little furball a loving home where she can build trust without pressure and grow into a happy cat step by step.

&; Mara – auf leisen Pfötchen ins Glück &;&; Mara ist ein hübsches EKH-Katzenmädchen, geboren etwa am 15.05.2026. Die kleine Katzendame kam als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim und ist nun auf der Suche nach einem liebevollen Zuhause, in dem sie in aller Ruhe ankommen und Vertrauen fassen darf. &; Auf leisen Pfötchen Mara ist momentan noch eher scheu und zurückhaltend . Sie braucht einfach noch etwas Zeit, um sich an neue Menschen und ihre Umgebung zu gewöhnen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie ruhige und geduldige Menschen , die ihr nichts abverlangen und ihr die Möglichkeit geben, ganz in ihrem eigenen Tempo aufzutauen. Ein Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder wäre für die sensible junge Katzendame ideal. Mit Ruhe, Verständnis und etwas Geduld darf Mara lernen, dass Menschen es gut mit ihr meinen. &;&; &; Gemeinsam ins Katzenleben Mara soll nicht alleine aufwachsen und wird deshalb nur zu zweit vermittelt – entweder gemeinsam mit einem anderen Kitten oder zu einer passenden, gleichaltrigen Katze . Gerade für ein noch schüchternes Katzenkind kann ein Katzenpartner eine wertvolle Unterstützung sein. Gemeinsam kann man spielen, toben, kuscheln und die große Welt entdecken. &; Später hinaus in die große Welt Mara ist als Freigängerin vorgesehen. Nach einer entsprechenden Eingewöhnungszeit darf sie später ihre Umgebung erkunden und auf kleinen und großen Entdeckungstouren ihre Neugier ausleben. Aufgrund ihres jungen Alters ist Mara noch nicht kastriert . &;&; Wer schenkt Mara Zeit? Mara ist vielleicht nicht das Kitten, das sofort neugierig auf jeden Menschen zuläuft. Sie braucht Menschen, die ihr Zeit schenken und ihr zeigen, dass sie sicher und geborgen ist. Wir wünschen uns für die kleine Samtpfote ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie ohne Druck Vertrauen aufbauen und Schritt für Schritt zu einer glücklichen Katze heranwachsen darf. &;&;&; Bei ernsthaftem Interesse vereinbaren wir gerne einen Kennenl

About Mara

What life with Mara looks like

Mara is a large puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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. Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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 — Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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 Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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.
