Marie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Marie, about 3 years old, is a still shy, suspicious female cat who came to us together with her two kittens. The past months have certainly not been easy for her. At first, she met people with great caution and kept her distance. But behind her reserve lies a loving mother who has carefully raised her little ones and is slowly beginning to trust humans. Marie needs time, patience, and a calm environment where she can step by step gain trust. With the right mix of understanding and gentleness, she will slowly open up and learn that she is safe. We wish for Marie a home with people who will give her this space and show her that she has finally arrived.

DE·Show original

Marie, ca. 3 Jahre alt, ist eine noch schüchterne, misstrauische Katzendame, die gemeinsam mit ihren beiden Kitten zu uns gekommen ist. Die vergangenen Monate waren für sie sicherlich nicht leicht. Menschen begegnete sie zunächst mit großer Vorsicht und hielt lieber Abstand. Doch hinter ihrer Zurückhaltung steckt eine liebevolle Mama, die ihre Kleinen fürsorglich großgezogen hat und langsam beginnt den Menschen zu vertrauen. Marie braucht Zeit, Geduld und ein ruhiges Umfeld, in dem Sie Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fassen darf. Mit der richtigen Mischung aus Verständnis und Sanftheit wird sie sich langsam öffen und lernen, dass sie in Sicherheit ist. Wir wünschen uns für Marie ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr diesen Raum geben und ihr zeigen, dass sie endlich ankommen darf.

About Marie

What life with Marie looks like

Marie is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) in Aurich.

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 Marie, answered.

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