Pina

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

- freundlich - zurückhaltend - selbstbewusst - muss unbedingt raus können - stubenrein - wird nicht zu Kindern oder Kleinkindern vermittelt - kann Zickig werden Pina kam als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun sucht die Maunz ein neues Für-immer-Zuhause. Pina ist eine freundliche Katze, die sich Menschen gegenüber grundsätzlich offen zeigt, dabei aber auch eine zurückhaltende Art mitbringt. Sie ist selbstbewusst und weiß genau, was sie möchte – und auch, was sie nicht möchte. Deshalb sucht sie Menschen, die ihre Signale respektieren und ihr den Freiraum geben, den sie braucht. Für Pina ist es besonders wichtig, dass sie nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit unbedingt wieder Freigang genießen darf. Sie möchte ihre Umgebung erkunden und selbst entscheiden können, wann sie draußen unterwegs ist und wann sie die Ruhe ihres Zuhauses sucht. Pina ist stubenrein. Man sollte jedoch wissen, dass sie gelegentlich zickig werden kann, wenn ihr etwas nicht passt oder sie sich bedrängt fühlt. Daher wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause bei katzenerfahrenen Menschen, die ihre Körpersprache gut einschätzen können und Verständnis für ihren eigenständigen Charakter haben. In einen Haushalt mit Kindern oder Kleinkindern wird Pina nicht vermittelt. Sie braucht ein ruhiges Umfeld, in dem ihre Grenzen respektiert werden und sie sich wohlfühlen kann. Wer einer selbstbewussten Katze mit Charakter ein liebevolles Zuhause und die Möglichkeit zum Freigang schenken möchte, findet in Pina eine besondere Mitbewohnerin, die ihren Menschen auf ihre ganz eigene Art Gesellschaft leisten wird.

About Pina

What life with Pina looks like

Pina is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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 Pina, answered.

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