Persephone

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Persephone (still on Crete) is looking for her forever home. Her foster mother wrote to us: Our beautiful tortoiseshell lady Persephone (born approx. 04/2022) instantly captures every heart with her expressive green eyes and gentle nature. Persephone is a very cuddly and playful cat who enjoys closeness to her people. She loves cozy petting sessions just as much as short play sessions in between. She is curious, attentive, and simply lovable through and through. She generally gets along with other cats and dogs too, but she feels especially content when she doesn't have to share her home. Living as the only pet is therefore a good option, provided she receives plenty of attention and affection. Persephone is spayed and tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

Persephone (noch auf Kreta) sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause. Ihre Pflegemama schrieb uns: Unsere wunderschöne Schildpatt Dame Persephone (geb. ca. 04/2022) verzaubert mit ihren ausdrucksstarken grünen Augen und ihrem sanften Wesen sofort jedes Herz. Persephone ist eine sehr kuschelige und verspielte Katze, die die Nähe zu ihren Menschen genießt. Sie liebt gemütliche Streicheleinheiten genauso wie kleine Spieleinheiten zwischendurch. Dabei zeigt sie sich neugierig, aufmerksam und einfach rundum liebenswert. Mit anderen Katzen und auch mit Hunden kommt sie grundsätzlich zurecht, dennoch fühlt sie sich besonders wohl, wenn sie ihr Zuhause nicht teilen muss. Eine Einzelhaltung ist daher gut möglich, sofern sie genügend Aufmerksamkeit und Zuwendung bekommt. Persephone ist kastriert und negativ auf FIV/FeLV getestet.

About Persephone

What life with Persephone looks like

Persephone is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Leise-Pfoten e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Persephone, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Persephone?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Leise-Pfoten e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Persephone on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Persephone if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Leise-Pfoten 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Persephone already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs 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 Persephone 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 Tierschutzverein Leise-Pfoten e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Persephone 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.
