Penny

Female · Adult · 10 years

Penny was found. When Penny arrived at our shelter, she had a malignant tumor on her face, which was surgically removed by our veterinarian. It is suspected that Penny was abandoned for this reason. In the meantime, Penny has recovered well from the operation and the wound has fully healed. No signs were found that the tumor had already spread. However, an MRI would be the only way to rule this out with 100% certainty. Penny is a cuddly female cat, but she also has her moody sides. She is just a real cat. Penny finds contact with other cats completely unnecessary and would rather have her territory to herself. Penny seems to be used to going outside, but a secure balcony would certainly be an alternative she could get used to. Penny is looking for a quiet household. Therefore, a family with children and a lot of noise would not be the right fit for her.

Penny wurde aufgefunden. Als Penny bei uns ankam hatte sie einen bösartigen Tumor im Gesicht, der von unserem Tierarzt opeartiv entfernt wurde. Due Vermutung liegt nahe, dass Penny aus diesem Grund ausgesetzt worden war. Mittlerweile hat Penny sich von der Opeartion gut erholt und die Wunde ist vollstandig verheilt. Es konnten keine Anzeichen festgestllt werden, dass der Tumor bereits gestreut hat. Aber zu 100 % würde das nur ein MRT ausschließen können.Penny ist eine verschmuste Katzendame, die aber auch ihre launischen Seiten hat. Sie ist eben eine richtige Katze. Kontakt zu Artgenossen findet Penny völlig unnötig und sie möchte lieber ihr Reich für sich allein haben. Penny scheint Freigang gewohnt zu sein. Aber ein gesicherter Balkon wäre sicherlich eine Alternative mit der sie sich arrangieren könnte. Penny sucht einen ruhigen Haushalt. Daher wäre eine Familie mit Kindern und viel Trubel nicht das richtige für sie.

About Penny

What life with Penny looks like

Penny is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Braunschweig in Braunschweig.

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 Braunschweig 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 Braunschweig 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 Braunschweig 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.
