Matilda

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Born around June 2025. Matilda has the herpes virus and is accordingly undergoing treatment. For Matilda we are looking for a home with generous indoor-apartment living. Our wish would be for a home with a secured balcony or secured terrace. Even more, we would wish for Matilda to get a playmate who also has the herpes virus. Either humans are already looking for a great cat to join as another family member alongside the cat already there, or they are willing to look for another one to find Matilda a partner. She is very playful and cuddly.

Ca. Juni 2025 geboren. Matilda hat den Herpesvirus und ist dementsprechend in Behandlung. Für Matilda suchen wir ein Zuhause in großzügiger Wohnungshaltung. Unser Wunsch wäre mit gesichertem Balkon oder gesicherter Terrasse. Und noch mehr würden wir uns wünschen, dass Matilda einen Spielgefährten bekommt wo ebenfalls den Herpesvirus hat. Entweder suchen ja schon Zweibeiner eine tolle Katze als weiteres Familienmitglied zu der bereits vorhandenen Katze oder sind bereit ein weiteres zu suchen um Matilda einen Partner zu finden. Sie ist sehr verspielt und verschmust.

About Matilda

What life with Matilda looks like

Matilda is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Kirchheimbolanden in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Matilda, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Matilda?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Kirchheimbolanden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Matilda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Matilda if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Kirchheimbolanden 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Matilda 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 Matilda 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 Kirchheimbolanden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Matilda 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.
