Adopt Molly ♀

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Molly came to us after her owner passed away and no one from the family could take her in. In the first few days, Molly was very upset and grieving, and wouldn't eat anything. Slowly, Molly got used to her new environment and came out of her hiding place, and then we could see the extent of her obesity. Her owner had obviously meant well with the feeding, as Molly had become quite overweight. She was mainly fed with "Soup" and "Filet" and a lot of treats. During a recent visit to the vet, Molly could also be weighed. She brings 8.9 kg on the scale, which is of course far too much. Since she also had digestive issues and wasn't defecating regularly, she now gets special dry food, which she likes to eat and has helped improve her digestion. Molly's spirits are now lifted, and she likes to walk around the hallway and peek into the cabinets. For her weight, she is surprisingly agile and climbs to the higher levels in her room. Apart from the weight issue, no health problems were discovered during the vet check. Molly has been vaccinated; she has already been neutered and microchipped. Molly is approximately 8 years old and has always lived as a pure indoor cat without any other fellow animals, so we currently cannot say whether she gets along with other cats. She is very friendly towards people and enjoys being petted and combed. Sometimes she gets a bit annoyed when she's supposed to go into her room and would rather go for a walk 🙂 We are looking for a new home for Molly, where the amount of food will be consistently monitored, as she urgently needs to lose weight.

Molly kam zu uns, nachdem ihre Besitzerin verstorben war und niemand aus der Familie sie aufnehmen konnte. Sie war in den ersten Tagen bei uns sehr durcheinander und trauerte und fraß gar nichts. Langsam gewöhnte Molly sich ein und kam auch aus ihrer Höhle heraus und da sahen wir das ganze Ausmaß ihrer Fülle. Ihr Frauchen hatte es leider zu gut mit dem Füttern gemeint, so dass Molly sehr aus den Fugen geraten ist. Sie wurde hauptsächlich mit „Soup“ und „Filet“ und jeder Menge Leckerli gefüttert. Bei einem Tierarztbesuch vor kurzem konnte Molly dann auch gewogen werden. Sie bringt 8,9 kg auf die Waage, was natürlich viel zu viel ist. Da sie auch Probleme mit der Verdauung hatte und nicht regelmäßig Kot absetzte, bekommt sie nun ein spezielles Trockenfutter, welches sie gerne frisst und die Verdauung in Schwung gebracht hat. Inzwischen sind Mollys Lebensgeister wieder geweckt und sie geht gerne im Flur spazieren und guckt neugierig in die Schränke. Für ihr Gewicht ist sie erstaunlich beweglich und klettert in ihrem Zimmer auch in die höheren Etagen. Außer dem Übergewicht wurden beim Check beim Tierarzt keine gesundheitlichen Probleme entdeckt. Molly wurde geimpft; kastriert und gechipt ist sie bereits. Molly ist ca. 8 Jahre alt und hat immer als reine Wohnungskatze und ohne weitere Artgenossen gelebt, so dass wir im Moment noch nicht sagen können, ob sie sich mit anderen Katzen verträgt. Sie ist Menschen gegenüber sehr freundlich und lässt sich gerne streicheln und auch kämmen. Manchmal wird sie ein wenig ärgerlich, wenn sie in ihr Zimmer soll und lieber noch spazieren gehen will 🙂 Wir suchen ein neues Zuhause für Molly, in dem konsequent auf die Futtermenge geachtet wird, denn sie muss dringend das Gewicht reduzieren.

About Molly ♀

What life with Molly ♀ looks like

Molly ♀ is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Büdingen e.V. in Ortenberg.

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 Molly ♀, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Molly ♀?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Büdingen e.V. 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 — Tierschutzverein Büdingen e.V. 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 Tierschutzverein Büdingen e.V. 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.
