Penny

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Penny, born around 2020, is a beautiful EKH female cat who may appear a bit reserved at first glance. She needs some time to gain trust and adjust to new people and situations. Once she has gained trust, she shows her wonderfully affectionate side and enjoys the attention of her humans very much. Unfortunately, Penny does not get along well with other cats. We are therefore looking for a home where she can be the sole princess and have her humans all to herself. Penny wants to live as an indoor cat. If you would like to meet her, please click on the "Request Cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This will give us all the relevant information for an initial conversation.

Die etwa 2020 geborene Penny ist eine hübsche EKH-Katzendame, die auf den ersten Blick vielleicht etwas zurückhaltender wirkt. Sie braucht ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und sich auf neue Menschen und Situationen einzustellen. Hat sie aber Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt sie ihre wunderbar verschmuste Seite und genießt die Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen sehr. Mit anderen Katzen versteht Penny sich leider nicht besonders gut. Für sie suchen wir daher ein Zuhause, in dem sie Einzelprinzessin sein darf und ihre Menschen ganz für sich hat. Penny möchte als reine Wohnungskatze leben. Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Penny

What life with Penny looks like

Penny is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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 Penny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Penny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigshafen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Penny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Penny if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigshafen 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 Penny 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 Penny 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 Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Penny 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.
