How do I contact the shelter about Pelusa?

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

Can I adopt Pelusa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Miezekatze e.V. 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 Pelusa 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 Pelusa 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 Tierhilfe Miezekatze e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pelusa 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.

Pelusa

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Pelusa and her mother Piti were abandoned on the street. A woman informed the animal welfare workers because it was very dangerous for the two of them there. In the quarantine cage, they were still a bit timid, but they are quite affectionate cats once they have gained trust. Both have already tested negative for FIV and FeLV and are ready for their own home. Update 10.02.2024 Finally, we have news from our mother-daughter pair. Both have adapted to the routine at the shelter and now allow themselves to be petted and stroked. They are calm but very curious cats. An adoption together would be ideal, as the two have a very strong bond. In a home with cat-experienced people who give them time to adjust, they will surely completely shed their shyness. Pelusa has become more sociable with people, she loves to cuddle. She is very easygoing with other cats and always seeks their closeness. Pelusa's teeth had to be cleaned and checked, but otherwise, she is doing well. Only a home of their own is still missing.

Pelusa und ihre Mutter Piti wurden auf der Straße ausgesetzt. Eine Frau hat die Tierschützer informiert, weil es dort sehr gefährlich für die beiden war. Im Quarantänekäfig waren sie noch etwas eingeschüchert, aber es sind ganz liebe Katzen, wenn sie Vertrauen gefasst haben. Beide wurden bereits negativ auf FIV und FeLV getestet und sind bereit für ein eigenes Zuhause. Update 10.02.2024 Endlich gibt es was von unserem Mutter-Tochter-Gespann zu hören. Beide haben sich an die Routine des Tierheims gewöhnt und lassen sich bereits streicheln und kraulen. Sie sind ruhige, aber sehr neugierige Katzen. Eine gemeinsame Adoption wäre ideal, da die beiden eine sehr schöne Bindung haben. In einem eigenen Zuhause, in dem katzenerfahrene Menschen leben, die ihnen Zeit zum eingewöhnen lassen, werden sie sicher komplett ihre Schüchternheit ablegen. Pelusa ist umgänglicher mit Menschen geworden, sie kuschelt gerne. Sie ist ganz unkompliziert im Umgang mit anderen Katzen und sucht immer ihre Nähe. Pelusa's Zähne mussten gereinigt und kontrolliert werden. Aber ansonsten geht es ihr gut. Nur das eigene Zuhause fehlt noch. Video Pelusa Video2 Pelusa Video3 Pelusa Video4 Pelusa Video5 Pelusa

What life with Pelusa looks like

Pelusa is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierhilfe Miezekatze e.V. 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.
