How do I contact the shelter about Minnie?

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

Can I adopt Minnie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigsburg 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 Minnie 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 Minnie 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 Ludwigsburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Minnie 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.

Minnie

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Minnie, Abyssinian/EXK-Mix, kitten, neutered, born around April 1, 2023, suitable for apartment living Our concern, Minnie, had to change her home several times already. She definitely did not have many positive experiences with people during her first months of life, which surely contributed to her initially very defensive behavior towards everyone. It took a long time for the sensitive kitten to build trust, but now she shows herself to be a truly relaxed and balanced snuggle cat with her trusted people. She loves attention and should therefore not be left alone without her future people for too long during the day. Minnie is currently in a foster home, where she continues to make progress. She loves to play and wants to really let loose. It will likely still take some time for her to fully trust strangers. Due to an accident, poor Minnie lost an eye, but fortunately manages to get along very well despite this. She will be rehomed in an apartment with a screened-in balcony or similar. Although she had other cats around her from a young age, she wants nothing to do with most of her fellow animals and would be the happiest as a singleton princess.

Minnie, Abessiner/EKH-Mix, Kätzin, kastriert, geb. ca. 01.04.2023, Wohnungshaltung Unser Sorgenkind Minnie musste bereits mehrmals ihr Zuhause wechseln. Sie hat die ersten Monate ihres Lebens bestimmt nicht viele positive Erfahrungen mit Menschen gemacht, was sicher ein Grund dafür war, weshalb sie sich anfangs sehr abweisend gegenüber allen zeigte. Es hat lange gedauert, bis die sensible Kätzin Vertrauen gefasst hat, doch mittlerweile zeigt sie sich bei ihren Bezugspersonen als richtig entspannte und ausgeglichene Kuschelmaus. Sie liebt Aufmerksamkeit und sollte daher tagsüber nicht allzu lange ohne ihre künftigen Menschen sein. Minnie befindet sich inzwischen auf einer Pflegestelle, wo sie weiterhin Fortschritte macht. Sie spielt sehr gerne und möchte sich richtig auspowern. Bei Fremden wird es sicher dennoch ein Weilchen dauern, bis sie richtig Vertrauen fasst. Durch einen Unfall hat die arme Minnie ihr Auge verloren, kommt aber glücklicherweise trotzdem sehr gut zurecht. Sie wird in Wohnungshaltung mit eingenetztem Balkon o.ä. vermittelt. Obwohl sie von klein auf andere Katzen um sich hatte, möchte sie mit den meisten ihrer Artgenossen nichts zu tun haben und wäre als Einzelprinzessin sicher am glücklichsten.

About Minnie

What life with Minnie looks like

Minnie is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

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.
