How do I contact the shelter about Maya?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelenkatzen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Maya if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen 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 Maya 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 Maya 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maya 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.

Maya

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

foster home: Romania (Barlad) Gender: female Born: around October 2025 Character: very playful, loving, and friendly, people-oriented Handicap/Bespecialities: none! No single-holding! Hello dear human! I am the little female cat Maya and I am searching for a wonderful home through this means. At the tender age of 3 weeks, I was found by kind animal rescuers on the street, without my mommy and without siblings. Directly in front of trash containers, exposed to die. People are cruel, but not these who found me. There, I have been lovingly raised and well-fed. Now I am ready – I am ready to finally enjoy my life. In a family that loves me and takes care of me. In my home, I wish for a feline friend or a friend of a similar age, because as a kitten, I am naturally social and playful. But I also love people. If you do not yet have a suitable feline friend at home, I might be someone from here that you can bring. For travel arrangements, I will be microchipped, treated against parasites, and will have my first vaccinations (rabies, feline distemper, and cat flu). You can check this in my EU pet passport. Once I am old enough, I will also be spayed. Then, a mediator will contact you directly!.

Pflegestelle: Rumänien (Barlad) Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geboren: etwa Oktober 2025 Charakter: verspielt, lieb und freundlich, menschenbezogen Handicap/Besonderheiten: keine !Keine Einzelhaltung! Hallo du lieber Mensch! Ich bin die kleine Katzendame Maya und suche auf diesem Wege ein schönes Zuhause. Im zarten Alter von 3 Wochen wurde ich von lieben Tierschützern auf der Straße gefunden, ohne meine Mama und ohne Geschwister. Direkt vor Müllcontainern, ausgesetzt um zu sterben. Menschen sind grausam, aber nicht diese welche mich fanden. Dort lebe ich seitdem, wurde liebevoll großgezogen und aufgepäppelt. Nun bin ich bereit – ich bin bereit, endlich mein Leben zu genießen. Bei einer Familie die mich liebt und sich um mich kümmert. In meinem Zuhause wünsche ich mir einen Katzenfreund oder Freundin im ähnlichen Alter, denn als Kitten bin ich natürlich sozial und verspielt. Allerdings mag ich es nicht wenn mein Spielpartner zu ruppig spielt. Auch Menschen liebe ich. Dann meldet sich eine Vermittlerin direkt bei dir! Bis hoffentlich bald, deine Maya

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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.
