How do I contact the shelter about Pearl?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Wetzlar handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pearl on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pearl if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Wetzlar 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 Pearl 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 Pearl 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 Wetzlar early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pearl 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.

Hello, I’m Pearl 🥰 I’m a gorgeous cat 😍 Unfortunately, ever since I was a kitten, I’ve been left to fend for myself 🥺 At the animal shelter, I gave birth to my five babies. Almost all of them have already found their forever homes 🍀 People here say that I finally deserve a real home too 🥰 Right now, I’m still very shy 🫣 But when people come along with a little cuddly companion, I’ll happily let them pet me 😊 They think I’ll one day become a big snugglebug ❤️ My new home should be quiet. Living in an apartment with a balcony would be perfect for me 🥰 But I definitely don’t want to live there alone... Maybe we could take Lenny along? We share the same fate... And we look great together 😍 With patient people who give us the time we need, we’ll grow into the most wonderful companions ❤️ Would anyone like to get to know me? 🍀 Please feel free to reach out by email if you have a spot for me 🍀 See you soon, your Pearl ❤️ (This description of me is just a snapshot from daily life at the shelter.

About Pearl

What life with Pearl looks like

Pearl is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Wetzlar in Wetzlar.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
