Perish

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Young, cute, and friendly, that's Perish - yet no one has found a home to take the gray tabby. Perish is curious, playful, and always comes up to people, greeting them kindly. She prefers to stay away from other cats, and if another feline gets too close, she might raise her paw for a moment. As long as the others keep their distance, everything remains peaceful. Perish is uncomplicated and would make an ideal family cat. Of course, she will need a few weeks of indoor confinement in her new home, but after that, she should be allowed to go outside occasionally to check things out.

DE·Show original

Jung, hübsch, nett, das ist Perish - trotzdem hat sich bisher niemand gefunden, der die Grautigerin mitnimmt. Perish ist neugierig, verspielt, kommt eigentlich gleich immer auf die Leute zu und begrüßt sie freundlich. Nur auf andere Katzen verzichtet sie lieber, da kann es passieren, dass sie mal kurz die Pfote hebt, wenn ihr eine andere Samtpfote zu nahe kommt. Solange die anderen etwas Abstand halten, bleibt aber alles friedlich. Perish ist also unkompliziert, wäre eine ideale Familienkatze. Natürlich braucht sie im neuen Zuhause die ersten 3-4 Wochen erst einmal Stubenarrest, dann aber sollte sie wieder die Möglichkeit bekommen, ab und zu auch draußen nach dem Rechten zu sehen.

About Perish

What life with Perish looks like

Perish is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Darmstadt in Darmstadt.

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 Perish, answered.

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