Inga

Unknown · Kitten · 3 months

Mary is a cute little girl cat who has already had a wild ride: she was found emaciated and dehydrated in the engine compartment of a car. Unfortunately, we can't say in which town she got in... After a brief initial hesitation with people she didn't know, she is very sweet, affectionate and kitten-typically playful. That's why Mary needs a similarly playful girl cat of about the same age in her new home for company. We would like to place Mary in a spacious apartment where there are plenty of climbing opportunities and activities. Her new family should not work full-time and be responsible for her. Mary will need to be spayed later.

DE·Show original

Mary ist ein niedliches Katzenmädchen, dass schon eine Irrfahrt hinter sich hat: Sie wurde abgemagert und ausgetrocknet im Motorraum eines Autos gefunden. Leider können wir nicht sagen, in welchem Ort sie eingestiegen ist... Nach kurzem anfänglichen Zögern bei ihr unbekannten Personen ist sie sehr lieb, verschmust und kittentypisch verspielt. Bei uns versteht sie sich sehr gut mit dem gleichaltrigen Tigermädchen Inga. Diese hat einen kleinen rötlichen Fleck auf dem Kopf, was ihr ein besonders niedliches Aussehen verleiht. Inga ist uns gegenüber sehr aufgeschlossen und verspielt, sie ist die Forschere der beiden und geht meist voran. Wir möchten Mary und Inga gemeinsam in eine geräumige Wohnung vermitteln, in der es genug Klettermöglichkeiten und Beschäftigung gibt. Ihre neue Familie sollte nicht ganztags berufstätig sein und verantwortungsbewusst auf sie aufpassen. Mary und Inga müssen später kastriert werden. Es wird eine Kastrationskaution erhoben, die mit dem Kastrationsnachweis zurück erstattet wird.

About Inga

What life with Inga looks like

Inga is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Bocholt in Bocholt.

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 Inga, answered.

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