Pinkie

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Über mich Pinkie ist eine unserer besonderen Katzen. Sie ist eine liebe und verschmuste Katze, die Streicheleinheiten sehr genießt. Sie liebt es auf dem Balkon an der frischen Luft zu sein, die Sonne auf sich zu spüren und die Welt zu beobachten. Was Pinkie besonders gut kann: auf sich aufmerksam machen. Mit ihrem hohen Stimmchen fordert sie unmissverständlich zum Streicheln auf. Man kann es ihr aber auch nicht abschlagen. Sie genießt jede Streicheleinheit und schnurrt. Auch im Buggy, wenn sie an der frischen Luft unterwegs ist, plappert sie fröhlich drauf los und will mitreden. Mit der Katzenangel spielt sie auch sehr gern. Diese Katze steckt voller Frohsinn. Pinkie hat ein Handicap: Sie ist querschnittsgelähmt. Dies bedeutet, dass Pinkie nicht auf ihren Hinterbeinen stehen kann. Leider hat das Handicap auch zur Folge, dass sie Hilfe beim Absetzen von Urin benötigt. Es kann auch vorkommen, dass Pinkie Urin und Kot unkontrolliert verliert. Das Tragen von Windeln kennt der kleine Schatz noch nicht, aber es wird sicher kein Problem sein, sie daran zu gewöhnen. Es gibt tolle Gruppe auf Facebook z.B. wo man sich super über die Bedürfnisse von querschnittsgelähmte Katzen informieren kann und wo einem immer absolut kompetent geholfen wird. So ist es z.B. wichtig, das min. 3x am Tag (falls dies nicht möglich ist, dann def. 2x tägl.) die Blase ausgedrückt werden muss, damit das Tier keine gesundheitlichen Probleme bekommt.

About Pinkie

What life with Pinkie looks like

Pinkie is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Alsfeld in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pinkie, answered.

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