Adopt Ophelia

European Shorthair · Female

🐾 Ophelia is looking for a home together with Aurora 🐾 Ophelia is a shy cat 🙈 who approaches new situations with caution. At the same time, she is curious 👀 and wants to explore her surroundings step by step. She will only be rehomed together with her companion Aurora 🐱💕 – the two are a well-matched team and give each other security. For Ophelia and Aurora, we wish for a home with house and yard 🌾🏡 as well as the possibility of going for walks 🌳, so they can settle in at their own pace and explore the world. This cat needs outdoor access.

About Ophelia

What life with Ophelia looks like

Ophelia is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Cottbus in Cottbus.

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 Ophelia, answered.

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