How do I contact the shelter about Molly?

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

Can I adopt Molly if I live in another country?

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

Molly

European Shorthair · Female

I am Molly, a sensitive, special cat looking for a very patient home. I am an older female cat and rather reserved. New situations and people quickly unsettle me, so I sometimes react fearfully and a bit oddly. At the animal shelter, I don't want to be handled right away; I prefer to observe first from a safe distance. So, I am not a cat who jumps straight onto laps. But with patience, calmness, and understanding, I hope to gradually build trust. It's important that you don't pressure me and simply observe what I want and what I don't. I wish for a very quiet home with little chaos, where people don't expect much from me right away and give me the time I need. Experience with sensitive cats would certainly be helpful. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

DE·Show original

Ich bin Molly eine sensible, besondere Katze auf der Suche nach einem sehr geduldigen Zuhause. Das bin ich: Ich bin eine schon ältere Katzendame und eher zurückhaltend. Neue Situationen und Menschen verunsichern mich schnell, deshalb reagiere ich manchmal ängstlich und auch etwas eigenwillig. Im Tierheim möchte ich mich auch noch nicht so recht anfassen lassen, ich beobachte lieber erstmal aus sicherer Entfernung. Ich bin also keine Katze, die sofort auf den Schoß springt. Aber mit Geduld, Ruhe und Verständnis kann ich hoffentlich wieder Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fassen. Wichtig ist, dass man mich nicht bedrängt und einfach schaut, was ich möchte und was nicht. Ich wünsche mir ein sehr ruhiges Zuhause ohne viel Trubel bei Menschen, die nicht gleich viel von mir erwarten und mir die Zeit geben, die ich brauche. Erfahrung mit sensiblen Katzen wäre sicher hilfreich. Wenn du ein großes Herz für anspruchsvolle Katzen hast, melde dich doch mal – über das Anfrageformular unten oder im Garfield-Haus unter tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Molly

What life with Molly looks like

Molly is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in 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.
