Muffin

European Shorthair · Unknown

For our dear Muffin, we are looking for a foster home. The sweet old lady is a real character cat. She should not have to spend her twilight years in a shelter. Muffin had a tumor on her back that was surgically removed. In her new home, there should be no other animals. Muffin could also be placed with outdoor access in a secure garden. Where is the needle in the haystack for our Muffin? If you are interested, please send a meaningful email with your phone number to .

Für unsere liebe Muffin suchen wir eine (End)pflegestelle. Die süße Omi ist eine absolute Charakterkatze. Sie soll Ihren Lebensabend nicht im Tierheim verbringen müssen.

Wo ist die Nadel im Heuhaufen für unsere Muffin? Bei Interesse freuen wir uns über eine aussagekräftige Email mit Angabe der Rufnummer an .

About Muffin

What life with Muffin looks like

Muffin is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Troisdorf 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 Muffin, answered.

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