Mascha

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Mascha is a beautiful British Shorthair. Her owner gave her up for health reasons. Mascha is currently a bit shy. She is now alone in a completely foreign environment and without her brother, with whom she got along well. We would like to place her as a second cat. Poor mouse. She is supposed to be very sweet and nice, but has a heart defect. That's why she gets a beta blocker, which she takes well and is not expensive. We will check this again soon and then see if an anesthesia for a castration is possible. If this could already take place in a new home, that would be great.

Diese wunderhübsche BKH ist Mascha. Ihre Besitzerin hat sie aus gesundheitlichen Gründen abgegeben. Mascha ist momentan noch etwas eingeschüchtert. Sie findet sich jetzt allein in einer völlig fremden Umgebung wieder und dann noch ohne ihren Bruder, mit dem sie sich gut verstanden haben soll. Wir würden sie also gerne als Zweitkatze vermitteln. Arme Maus. Sie soll ganz lieb und nett sein, allerdings einen Herzfehler haben. Deshalb bekommt sie einen Betablocker, den sie gut nimmt und der auch nicht teuer ist. Das lassen wir zeitnah noch mal abchecken, und dann schauen wir, ob eine Narkose für eine Kastration möglich ist. Wenn dies schon in einem neuem Zuhause stattfinden könnte, wäre das natürlich toll.

About Mascha

What life with Mascha looks like

Mascha is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Iserlohn in Iserlohn.

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 Mascha, answered.

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