Miss Geraldine Flausch

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

A small, white female cat was picked up on the street during one of the recent extreme heatwaves. She was so dehydrated that she was already suffering from acute kidney failure. Fortunately, after a few days of in-patient care at our veterinaries, she was back on her feet and her kidney values were within the normal range. Interestingly, the cat has two different eye colors, which is not too common - despite this, we had a small, white cat in the shelter with a green and a blue eye until recently. Due to the similarity with General Flausch (as we called him), the pretty white cat is now called Miss Geraldine Flausch after a long discussion. Miss Flausch is now back on her feet; even though it was a long way. Despite the improvement in kidney problems, she had no appetite for a long time and did not really let us get close to her. Bit by bit, her behavior changed until we finally had an open and friendly cat lady in front of us. Castration and vaccinations followed; now Geraldine Flausch sits in the cat house as if nothing had happened. If it were up to her, the cat room is more of a joint venture, because even after a few days she does not want anything from the other cats. She does not hide anymore and does not feel uncomfortable per se - until another cat gets too close. She does not want that and expresses it loudly. Unfortunately, it does not make a difference to her whether the other cats want to play with her or sniff her: she refuses it decisively. Even though Miss Geraldine Flausch knows exactly what she wants and can also defend herself, she is definitely not as grumpy as she looks. She likes people and our attention; due to her behavior in the past, she is only suitable for a limited extent for cat beginners: and not for small children. As a white cat, she is subject to a higher risk of some diseases. Therefore, we mediate her in apartment keeping with a secured outdoor area. So far, she does not seem to want a lot of romping and discovering, but prefers the attention and stroking of the can openers.

In einer der extremen Hitzewellen der letzten Wochen wurde eine kleine, weiße Katzendame auf der Straße aufgelesen. Sie war so stark dehydriert, dass sie bereits an akutem Nierenversagen litt. Nach ein paar Tagen stationärer Versorgung bei unserem Tierarzt war sie glücklicherweise wieder fit und die Nierenwerte im Normbereich. Interessanterweise hat die Katze zwei verschiedene Augenfarben, was nicht allzu häufig vorkommt – dennoch hatten wir bis vor Kurzem im Tierheim einen kleinen, weißen Kater, auch mit einem grünen und einem blauen Auge. Aufgrund der Ähnlichkeit mit General Flausch (wie wir ihn nannten), heißt die hübsche weiße Katze nach Langem hin und her nun also Miss Geraldine Flausch. Miss Flausch ist inzwischen wieder wohlauf; auch wenn es ein langer Weg war. Trotz der Besserung der Nierenproblematik hatte sie lange keinen Appetit und ließ sie uns nicht wirklich an sich heran. Stück für Stück wandelte sich ihr Auftreten, bis wir schließlich eine aufgeschlossene und freundliche Katzendame vor uns hatten. Kastration und Impfungen folgten; nun sitzt Geraldine Flausch im Katzenhaus als wäre nichts gewesen. Wenn es nach ihr ginge, ist das Katzenzimmer eher eine Zweckgemeinschaft, denn auch nach ein paar Tagen will sie von den Artgenossen nichts wissen. Sie versteckt sich nicht mehr und fühlt sich nicht per se unwohl – bis ihr eine andere Katze zu nah kommt. Darauf hat sie keine Lust und äußert das auch lautstark. Dabei macht es für sie leider keinen Unterschied, ob die anderen Katzen mit ihr spielen oder sie beschnuppern wollen: sie lehnt es entschieden ab. Auch wenn Miss Geraldine Flausch genau weiß, was sie will und sich auch wehren kann, ist sie definitiv nicht so grummelig, wie sie guckt. Sie mag Menschen und unsere Aufmerksamkeit; aufgrund ihres Verhaltens in der Vergangenheit ist sie jedoch nur bedingt für Katzenanfänger:innen und nicht für Kleinkinder geeignet. Als weiße Katze unterliegt sie einem höherem Risiko für manche Krankheiten. Wir vermitteln sie also in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Außenbereich. Bisher macht sie nicht den Eindruck, dass sie viel Toben und Entdecken will, sondern Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten der Dosenöffner:innen bevorzugt.

About Miss Geraldine Flausch

What life with Miss Geraldine Flausch looks like

Miss Geraldine Flausch is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Bonn in Bonn.

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 Miss Geraldine Flausch, answered.

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