How do I contact the shelter about Maya?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Helfende Hände 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 — Helfende Hände 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 Helfende Hände 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

Female

Maya ID No.: 147005 Breed: Siamese mix Age: 06/2023 Gender: female Housing: indoor/outdoor cat Neutered/spayed: Yes Location: Marbella (Spain) Inquiry form Maya is an incredibly affectionate cat with a very gentle personality. This little treasure already had a home but was surrendered to the animal shelter by her owner. Maya's world was shattered, and she still finds it very difficult to cope with the stressful daily routine and the many other cats at the animal shelter. Fortunately, she hasn't lost trust in humans. She is incredibly people-oriented, cuddly, and enjoys even the smallest bit of attention. We hope Maya finds a loving and patient home without stress or much commotion—ideally with empathetic people who will give this little sunshine a second chance, never abandon her again, and walk alongside her on the beautiful path of a fulfilled feline life. It would be wonderful if a kind and social furry companion were already waiting for Maya in her new home. However, Maya will certainly need a little time at first to adjust to her new surroundings. Therefore, she should definitely have places to retreat to and not be overwhelmed or pressured too much. Maya is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Vaccinations: yes; plus €85.00 transport fee. Contact person: Andrea Mürner Tel: Email:

Maya ID-Nr: 147005 Rasse: Siam-Mix Alter: 06/2023 Geschlecht: weiblich Haltung: Wohnung/Freigänger Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Maya ist eine unglaublich liebe Katze mit einem sehr sanften Wesen. Der kleine Schatz hatte bereits ein Zuhause und wurde von ihrem Besitzer im Tierheim abgegeben. Maya's Welt war zerbrochen und sie tut sich noch immer sehr schwer, sich mit dem stressigen Alltag und den vielen anderen Katzen im Tierheim zurecht zu finden. Zum Glück hat sie das Vertrauen zu uns Menschen aber nicht verloren. Sie ist unglaublich menschenbezogen, verschmust und genießt jede noch so kleine Aufmerksamkeit. Wir wünschen uns für Maya ein liebevolles und geduldiges Zuhause ohne Hektik oder viel Trouble mit einfühlsamen Menschen. Menschen, die dem kleinen Sonnenschein eine zweite Chance geben, sie nie wieder verlassen und mit ihr den schönen Weg eines erfüllten Katzenlebens gemeinsam gehen. Schön wäre es, wenn im neuen Zuhause bereits eine liebe und soziale Fellnase auf Maya warten würde. Maya wird anfangs aber sicher noch ein bisschen brauchen, um sich an die neuen Gegebenheiten zu gewöhnen. Daher sollte sie auf jeden Fall Rückzugmöglichkeiten haben und nicht zu sehr bedrängt werden. Maya ist geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und negativ auf FIV und FELV getestet. Impfungen Ja Schutzgebühr 200,00€ zzgl. 85,00€ Transportgebühr Ansprechpartner Andrea Mürner Tel: Email: Anfrageformular

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a adult cat waiting at Helfende Hände e.V. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
