Adopt Moja

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Moja was found, we have her neutered and vaccinated. The black-and-white cat does not trust people and needs a lot of time and a quiet home to warm up. Since she knows how to have free roam, she should regain this after settling in. This cat needs outdoor access.

Moja wurde gefunden, wir haben sie kastriert und geimpft. Die schwarz-weiße Katze vertraut Menschen nicht und braucht viel Zeit und ein ruhiges Zuhause zum auftauen.Da sie Freigang kennt, sollte sie diesen nach Eingewöhnung wieder erhalten.

About Moja

What life with Moja looks like

Moja is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

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 Moja, answered.

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