Melina

Female

Melina wurde bei uns abgegeben, weil sie in ihrer bisherigen Wohnung immer wieder markiert hat. Für uns kommt dieses Verhalten jedoch nicht überraschend: Melina stammt ursprünglich von einem Hof und war es gewohnt, sich frei zu bewegen. Später wurde sie ausschließlich in Wohnungshaltung gehalten – eine Lebensweise, mit der sie offenbar nicht glücklich war. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für Melina unbedingt ein Zuhause, in dem sie nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit wieder Freigang genießen darf. Sie sollte die Möglichkeit haben, ihre Umgebung zu erkunden und ihren natürlichen Bedürfnissen nachzugehen. Melina ist anfangs noch etwas schüchtern und braucht ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat sie ihre Menschen erst einmal kennengelernt, zeigt sie sich als sehr liebe, verschmuste und freundliche Katzendame. Auch mit anderen Katzen kommt Melina gut zurecht, sodass sie gerne zu einer bereits vorhandenen Samtpfote ziehen darf. Selbstverständlich ist Melina kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und entwurmt und bereit für den Umzug in ihr neues Zuhause.

About Melina

What life with Melina looks like

Melina is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Plattling in Plattling.

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 Melina, answered.

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