Penelope. * Reserviert *

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Penelope is a female Scottish Fold/Persian mix kitten, approximately born in June 2025 (estimated). She has been spayed and is a great second pet for a home with a secure balcony, no outdoor access. Penelope is wormed, dewormed, chipped, vaccinated against sneezing and diseases, and her mother tested negative for FIV+FeLV. The adoption fee is 230 Euros. Penelope arrived at our shelter in late July with her mother and brother. She was born on a garden property. Her mother is a tame Scottish Fold/Persian mix cat. Penelope inherited the folded ears from her mother, making her a Scottish Fold mix as well (her brother did not have folded ears). The father's influence can be seen in her color and coat, which was likely an European Shorthair cat. Penelope is a charming little owl who lives with three other young animals at the foster home and gets along well with them (unfortunately, they are already taken). She is a very cautious cat and takes some time to warm up to humans and cats. Penelope likes to play, including with her humans. However, she doesn't really like being touched yet. With other kittens, she plays carefree, and as you can see in the photo, she has already found her way onto/into the bed. Penelope needs a understanding home that can accept that she may become more affectionate over time but is unlikely to be a cuddly cat. She also has special requirements for her feline housemates. Although she is currently a normal young and playful cat, as a mix breed, she could develop breed-specific health problems (the Scottish Fold is a breeding that tends to cartilage and joint issues). Her fellow furry friends should be playful but not prone to physical fights with her, as this could hurt her. So please no roughhousing or "heavyweights." For now, Penelope is doing well and has no health problems. No one knows if this will change, but it's possible. We are looking for responsible people who can consciously accept this possibility and ideally have experience with initially shy animals. Due to her special needs, Penelope may not be suitable for children. If you are interested or need more information, please fill out this questionnaire for Mrs. Portz. Thank you.

Alter: geb. ca. *06/2025 (geschätzt) Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Verträglichkeit: Zweittier Haltung: Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon, kein Freigang! Gesundheit: entwurmt, entfloht, gechippt, geimpft (Schnupfen/Seuche), Mutter negativ getestet (FIV+FeLV) Schutzgebühr: 230 Euro Penelope kam Ende Juli zusammen mit Mutter und Brüderchen zu uns. Die Kitten wurden in einem Gartengelände geboren. Bei der Mutter handelt es sich um eine zahme Scotish-Fold/Perser-Mischlingskatze. Penelope hat von ihr die Klappöhrchen geerbt, was sie auch zu einem Scotish-Fold-Mischling macht (ihr Bruder hatte keine Klappohren). Bei Farbe und Fell hat sich dann wohl der Vater durchgesetzt, der vermutlich ein Europäisch-Kurzhaar-Kater gewesen sein dürfte. Penelope ist ein bezaubernde kleine Eule sie lebt auf ihrer Pflegestelle mit drei anderen Jungtieren zusammen und ist mit ihnen gut verträglich (leider sind diese schon vergeben). Sie ist eine sehr vorsichtige Katze, braucht etwas, bis sie mit Mensch und Katze „warm wird“. Penelope spielt gerne, auch mit ihren Menschen. Sie mag es aber noch nicht so wirklich, angefasst zu werden. Mit den anderen Kitten spielt sie unbeschwert, und wie man auf dem Foto erahnen kann, hat sie auch bereits den Weg auf/ins Bett gefunden. Penelope braucht ein verständnisvolles Zuhause, dass akzeptieren kann, wenn sie sich zwar mit der Zeit anfassen lassen wird, aber wohl keine Schmusekatze ist. Auch an ihre kätzischen Mitbewohner stellt Penelope besondere Anforderungen. Denn obwohl sie derzeit eine ganz normale junge und verspielte Katze ist, kann es sein, dass sie auch als Mischling mit der Zeit rassetypische gesundheitliche Probleme bekommen könnte (bei Scotish Fold handelt es sich um eine Qualzucht, die zu Knorpel- und Gelenkproblemen neigt). ihre Mit-Samtpfote sollte also verspielt sein, aber nicht dazu neigen, körperlich mit ihr zu balgen. Denn das könnte ihr vielleicht irgendwann weh tun. Also bitte kein Raufbold und kein „Schwergewicht“. Im Moment geht es Penelope aber gut und sie hat keine gesundheitlichen Probleme. Ob das irgendwann anders wird, kann niemand wissen, es könnte aber sein. Wir suchen also verantwortungsbewusste Menschen, die diese Möglichkeit bewusst akzeptieren und die idealerweise auch Erfahrung mit anfangs scheueren Tieren haben. Für Kinder ist Penelope aufgrund ihrer Besonderheiten eher nicht geeignet. Bei Interesse oder für weitere Informationen füllen Sie bitte diesen Fragebogen für Frau Portz aus. Vielen Dank.

About Penelope. * Reserviert *

What life with Penelope. * Reserviert * looks like

Penelope. * Reserviert * is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund Köln in Köln.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Penelope. * Reserviert *, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Penelope. * Reserviert *?
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 Penelope. * Reserviert * on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Penelope. * Reserviert * 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 Penelope. * Reserviert * 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 Penelope. * Reserviert * 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 Penelope. * Reserviert * 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.
