How do I contact the shelter about Medea?

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 Medea on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Medea 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 Medea 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 Medea 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 Medea 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.

Medea

Mixed Breed · Female

Location: Romania, Orastie Gender: Female, neutered Born: Early/Spring 2025 Character: Very social with fellow animals, no solitary confinement! People-oriented, loves human attention. Disability: None known Hello, I am Medea, a very loving black cat. I was given up after a spaying operation, and when I was neutered, my former owner said she didn’t want me back. I can’t understand why. Did I do something wrong? I was always so loving. But at least she didn’t abandon me on the street; she gave me to the animal rescuer Manuela for the spaying. So now at least I’m being taken care of until I find a home where I’ll receive the love I deserve. I know as a black cat, it’s very hard to be chosen, but I want to try because I so desperately want a real home. I have so much love to give, I love cuddling with people, and I’m just a friendly cat. Since I also like other cats, I would like to have at least one compatible feline friend in my future home. If you don’t already have a cat, that’s also no problem; then I’ll bring someone from my foster home with me. I am neutered, have already received my first vaccinations against cat flu, dewormed, and treated for fleas, and if I travel to you, I’ll get a microchip and a rabies vaccination. You can read all of this in my EU pet passport. So sign up, then I can start packing my bags and begin my journey to you. Then my handler will get in touch with you and you can discuss further. I am eagerly waiting for your inquiry!. This animal is microchipped.

Standort: Rumänien, Orastie Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geboren: Frühjahr/Sommer 2025 Charakter: Sehr sozial Artgenossen gegenüber, keine Einzelhaltung! Menschenbezogen, liebt die Aufmerksamkeit des Menschen. Handicap: keins bekannt Hallo, ich bin Medea, eine ganz liebe schwarze Katze. Ich wurde bei einer Kastrationsaktion abgegeben und als ich kastriert war, meinte meine ehemalige Besitzerin, dass sie mich nicht wieder haben wollte. Ich kann das gar nicht verstehen. Habich irgendwas falsch gemacht? Ich war doch immer lieb. Aber zumindest hat mich die Frau nicht auf der Straße ausgesetzt, sondern bei der Tierschützerin Manuela für die Kastration abgegeben. So werde ich jetzt zumindest versorgt bis ich ein Zuhause finde, in dem ich die Liebe bekomme, die ich verdient habe. Ich weiß, als schwarze Katze ist das sehr schwer, denn die wenigstens entscheiden sich für eine schwarze Katze. Ich möchte es trotzdem versuchen, denn ich wünsche mir so sehr ein richtiges Zuhause. Ich habe so viel Liebe zu geben, kuschele gern mit dem Menschen und bin einfach eine freundliche Katze. Da ich auch andere Katze gern mag, wünsche ich mir im künftigen Zuhause mindestens einen passenden Katzenfreund. Solltest du noch keine Katze haben, ist das auch kein Problem, dann bringe ich einfach jemanden von meiner Pflegestelle mit. Ich bin kastriert, habe schon meine Erstimpfungen gegen Katzenschnupfen, -seuche erhalten, bin entwurmt und entfloht und wenn ich zu dir reise erhalte ich noch einen Mikrochip und eine Tollwutimpfung. Das kannst du dann auch alles in meinem EU-Heimtierausweis nachlesen. Also melde dich, dann kann ich schon bald meine Koffer packen und meine Reise zu dir antreten. Dann wird sich meine Vermittlerin bei dir melden und ihr könnt weiteres besprechen. Ich warte sehnsüchtig auf Deine Anfrage! Deine Medea

About Medea

What life with Medea looks like

Medea is a 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.
