How do I contact the shelter about Penny?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. 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 — Katzenhilfe Ulm 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 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 Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. 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.

Penny

Mixed Breed · Female

The little female cat Penny is the last of five siblings waiting for her forever home. She is a very quiet, somewhat shy, and reserved cat. Therefore, she needs more time to trust a stranger. Once she feels safe and secure, she will seek out closeness, snuggling up and purring herself to her favorite person. She plays very much with her fellow animals and runs around the apartment with them. However, playing with people interests her less at the moment. She would definitely need a home with loving, quiet people who can give her the time she needs. Having a feline companion by her side would also be very important for her, as she needs and loves the contact with her fellow animals. Of course, she also wants to go outside after the adjustment period, preferably into a quiet environment. If you feel drawn to her and would like to give sweet Penny a chance, please feel free to contact and get to know her.

DE·Show original

Die kleine Katzendame Penny ist die letzte von 5 Geschwistern, die auf ihr Für-Immer-Zuhause wartet. Sie ist eine sehr ruhige, etwas scheue und zurückhaltende Katze. Daher braucht sie mehr Zeit um einem fremden Menschen zu vertrauen. Wenn sie sich aber sicher und geborgen fühlt, sucht sie richtig die Nähe, kuschelt und schnurrt sich an ihren Lieblingsmenschen heran. Sie spielt sehr gerne mit ihren Artgenossen und rennt mit ihnen durch die Wohnung. Das Spielen mit den Menschen findet sie allerdings noch nicht ganz so interessant. Sie bräuchte auf jeden Fall ein Zuhause mit liebevollen, ruhigen Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben die sie braucht. Einen Katzenkumpel an ihrer Seite zu haben wäre für sie auch sehr wichtig, da sie den Kontakt zu ihren Artgenossen braucht und liebt. Natürlich möchte auch sie nach der Eingewöhnungszeit nach draußen, am besten in eine ruhige Umgebung. Solltet Ihr euch angesprochen fühlen und der süßen Penny eine Chance geben möchtet, meldet euch gerne und lernt sie kennen.
