How do I contact the shelter about Ophelia?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Peine 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 Peine 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 Peine 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.

Ophelia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Ophelia is a female cat, approximately 1 year old, who was born in January 2025. She has lived as a stray cat and is now looking for a loving home. She is already chipped, spayed, vaccinated, and dewormed. Ophelia has a gentle and reserved character, which is unusual for a cat that has lived on the streets. She is currently seeking a home with the possibility of outdoor access. She would appreciate a second cat in her new home, but this is not a requirement. She is not suitable for homes with children due to her fear of loud and chaotic environments. Ophelia lives at a foster home in Hildesheim and can be visited there. Interested parties should plan several visits and contact the foster home via WhatsApp or phone at .

Katzenstube 4 Ophelia Alter 01/25. Geschlecht weiblich-kast.Rasse EKHFellfarbe HaltungFreigangKatzenverträglich Kinderverträglich neinPartnertier Charakter Ophelia ist schätzungsweise im Januar 2025 geboren und hat ihr bisheriges Leben als Straßenkatze gelebt. Bei ihrer Ankunft im Tierheim war sie trächtig und hat auf der Pflegestelle ihre Kitten bekommen. Nun ist sie auf der Suche nach einem passenden, liebevollen Zuhause. Sie ist bereits gechipt, kastriert, geimpft und entwurmt. Wie Ophelia ihr bisheriges Leben auf der Straße gemeistert hat, ist wirklich ein Rätsel, denn die junge Katzendame hat einen unglaublich sanften und zurückhaltenden Charakter. Hier auf der Pflegestelle hat Ophelia sich in den vergangenen Wochen zu einer kuscheligen und interessierten Mitbewohnerin gemausert, die gerne bei ihrem Menschen ist und die täglichen Streicheleinheiten in vollen Zügen genießt. Bei neuen Menschen ist sie am Anfang noch ein wenig zurückhaltend und braucht etwas Zeit, um die Situation einschätzen zu können. Wenn man ihr den nötigen Freiraum gibt, kommt sie aber nach einiger Zeit von ganz alleine, um die Situation zu analysieren und zu schauen, was da eigentlich in ihrem Zuhause vor sich geht. Alterstypisch ist sie noch sehr verspielt, weshalb sie gerne zu einer freundlichen Zweitkatze vermittelt werden kann. Da sie das Leben draußen kennt, sollte sie zudem in ein Zuhause mit der Möglichkeit zum Freigang ziehen. Kinder sollten in ihrem neuen Zuhause nicht leben, da ein lautes und trubeliges Umfeld so gar nicht nach ihrem Geschmack ist. Wer ein bisschen Geduld mitbringt und Ophelia Zeit lässt, die Dinge in ihrem Tempo anzugehen, bekommt die Chance auf eine unglaublich tolle Mitbewohnerin. Ophelia lebt auf einer Pflegestelle in Hildesheim und kann dort kennen- und liebengelernt werden. Kontaktaufnahme gerne per WhatsApp oder telefonisch bei Claudia unter . zurück 30.

About Ophelia

What life with Ophelia looks like

Ophelia is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Peine in Peine.

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.
