Paula

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Paula is a beautiful BKH mix cat, female, spayed and born around the beginning of 2024. She came to us with her kittens and lovingly cared for her offspring. Now it's time for Paula to be the focus and find her own beautiful forever home. 🏡❤️ Paula is a very sweet, affectionate and calm cat. She enjoys being close to her humans and enjoys petting and cozy hours together. Only when it comes to eating does she clearly show that she knows what she wants - then Paula can already become a bit lively. 😄 We wish Paula a home where she can enjoy outdoor access after settling in. Since she is generally social with other cats, we can also imagine that she would move in with a suitable, social cat partner as a second cat. After her time as a mom, Paula should finally be able to arrive - with people who give her security, love and a permanent home. If you would like to get to know her, please click on the "Request cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way we will receive all relevant information for an initial conversation in advance.

Paula ist eine wunderschöne BKH-Mix-Katze, weiblich, kastriert und etwa Anfang 2024 geboren. Sie kam gemeinsam mit ihren Kitten zu uns und hat sich liebevoll um ihren Nachwuchs gekümmert. Nun ist es an der Zeit, dass Paula selbst im Mittelpunkt steht und ein eigenes, schönes Für-immer-Zuhause findet. 🏡❤️ Paula ist eine sehr liebe, verschmuste und ruhige Katze. Sie genießt die Nähe zu ihren Menschen und freut sich über Streicheleinheiten und gemeinsame gemütliche Stunden. Nur wenn es ums Fressen geht, zeigt sie deutlich, dass sie durchaus weiß, was sie möchte – dann kann es bei Paula schon einmal etwas lebhafter werden. 😄 Für Paula wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem sie nach der Eingewöhnung Freigang genießen darf. Da sie grundsätzlich sozial mit Artgenossen ist, können wir uns auch gut vorstellen, dass sie als Zweitkatze zu einem passenden, sozialen Katzenpartner zieht. Nach ihrer Zeit als Mama soll Paula nun endlich selbst ankommen dürfen – bei Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit, Liebe und ein dauerhaftes Zuhause schenken. Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Paula

What life with Paula looks like

Paula is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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 Paula, answered.

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