Adopt Medusa

Female

Ah, a new arrival. No, wait, you're too big for that. Oh, two-legged one, good, then I can introduce myself right away: Medusa is my name (yep, the name is a program!), a middle-aged Cornish Rex, and I unfortunately ended up being abandoned on a country road. I'm a bit complicated, as I'm a bit of everything: brave, very affectionate (some even say: intrusive, PAH!), but I also have a very short fuse, and if something doesn't suit me, I show it very quickly. So, I'm more suited to experienced owners, as you should be able to interpret my signals well and quickly.

Aha, ein Neuzugang. Nein, warte, dafür bist du zu groß. Oha, Zweibeiner, gut, dann kann ich mich ja auch gleich vorstellen: Medusa mein Name (jaha, der Name ist Programm!), Cornish Rex mittleren Alters und ich wurde leider auf einer Landstraße ausgesetzt. Ich bin etwas kompliziert, denn ich bin von allem etwas: mutig, sehr lieb (manche sagen sogar: aufdringlich, PAH!), aber ich habe auch eine sehr kurze Lunte und wenn mir was nicht passt, dann zeige ich das sehr schnell. Ich bin also etwas für erfahrene Besitzer, denn meine Signale solltest du gut und schnell deuten können. Gelingt dir das, we

About Medusa

What life with Medusa looks like

Medusa is a adult cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Medusa, answered.

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