How do I contact the shelter about Paula?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzbund Köln 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 — Katzenschutzbund Köln 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 Katzenschutzbund Köln 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.

Likely adopted

Paula

Mixed Breed · Female

Age: approx 4-5 years. Sex: female/spayed Compatibility: single animal housing: apartment with secured balcony or secured garden, no outdoor access Health: microchipped, FIV positive, FeLV negative Adoption fee: 150 euros Paula lost her home because her owner became seriously ill. She was placed by us in her current home in 2024, where she lives as a single princess. It is difficult for her to live with other cats as Paula is very dominant towards them. She came to us in 2024 as a mother cat with kittens. The street cat has become a house cat. She loves observing but still enjoys it very much. One of her favorite places is the secured balcony, which is a "must", as an observation point and for sunbathing. Paula is a steady companion but not a cuddly cat. Petting works. She says when she has had enough. She is a quiet furry friend, a quiet companion. And she is also looking for a quiet home again for someone just like her. Paula is looking for a permanent couch. Adoption as a foster animal would also be possible, since we do not know how much time she still has in her current home. Paula lives in Cologne. I am interested in this cat

About Paula

What life with Paula looks like

Paula is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund Köln in Köln.

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.
