Paula

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

Paula, born around 2016, came to us with her two siblings, who are now rehomed, from a residential area. When the three were still small and cute, they were tolerated and fed... but then they grew bigger, used the flower beds, and started causing trouble. Paula simply wouldn't become tame and was therefore made an outdoor cat at the shelter and has since claimed her place in the group. Now, she has become very tame and clingy. Perhaps she will find her own home someday. Not long ago, Paula wasn't doing well and a mild kidney insufficiency was diagnosed. That's why Paula has been living in a group room with other kittens for quite some time.

DE·Show original

Paula, geb. ca. 2016. Paula kam zusammen mit ihren 2 Geschwistern die mittlerweile vermittelt sind aus einem Wohngebiet zu uns. Als die 3 noch klein und süß waren wurden sie gduldet und gefüttert...doch dann wurden sie größer, machten in die Beete usw. und störten dann. Paula wollte einfach nicht zahm werden und wurde deshalb Freigängerin bei uns und hat sich ihren Platz in der Gruppe erobert. Mittlerweile ist sie auch sehr zahm und anhänglich geworden. Vielleicht findet sich ja für sie auch noch ein eigenes Zuhause. Vor einer Weile ging es Paula nicht gut und es wurde eine leichte Niereninsuffizienz festgestellt. Deshalb wohnt Paula jetzt seit geraumer Zeit in einem Gruppenzimmer mit anderen Kätzinnen zusammen.

About Paula

What life with Paula looks like

Paula is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Quedlinburg 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 Paula, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Paula?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Quedlinburg 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 Quedlinburg 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 Quedlinburg 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.
