Pitti

Mixed Breed · Female

PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND A LOVING HOME FOR PITTI (FEMALE). Pitti is a traumatized cat with chronic cat flu who has been in my care for 6 years. She was brought to me as she was at risk of being overwhelmed by her fears and anxieties in the shelter. Unfortunately, neither her fears nor her cat flu have improved over the years. Pitti still cannot be touched and retreats at the slightest approach. She lives outside in the garden and rural surroundings and is fed by me. Due to her cat flu, she is now very weak. Despite her fears, she is absolutely loving and has no aggression. I am forced to end the foster care as I am moving abroad for work. I am looking for a sanctuary, a farm or another loving foster home that will take Pitti in or feed her outside... People with patience and understanding for her fears and who can give her a home where she feels safe. If no one finds her, Pitti will have to return to the shelter, which would be traumatizing for her, who is also very afraid of other cats. Contact information: Claudia Pfabe Tel.: mail:

Über mich Dringender Aufruf für Katze Pitti Pittie befindet sich noch nicht im Tierheim und wir hoffen, dass wir ihr das auch ersparen können. Bitte helft, ein liebevolles Zuhause für sie zu finden. Liebe Tierfreunde, ich wende mich mit einem Herzensanliegen an euch! Ich suche DRINGEND für Pitti (weibl.) ein neues Zuhause. Ich bin selbst Pflegestelle und habe Pitti seit 6 Jahren bei mir. Sie kam als schwer traumatisiert und mit einem chronischen Katzenschnupfen zu mir, da sie mit ihrer Scheu und ihren Ängsten im Tierheim unterzugehen drohte. Leider hat sich in all den Jahren weder ihre Scheu noch ihr Katzenschnupfen zum Positiven verändert. Pitti lässt sich nach wie vor nicht anfassen und weicht bei jedem „Auf sie Zugehen“ zurück. Sie lebt daher draussen im Garten und in der ländlichen Umgebung und wird von mir gefüttert. Mittlerweile ist sie durch den Katzenschnupfen sehr geschwächt. Sie ist trotz ihrer Ängstlichkeit absolut liebevoll und hat keinerlei Aggression. Leider muss ich die Pflegestelle auflösen, da ich beruflich ins Ausland gehe. Ich suche einen Gnadenhof, einen Bauernhof oder eine weitere liebevolle Pflegestelle, die Pitti aufnimmt, oder der sie, nach einer anfänglichen Eingewöhnungszeit, draussen füttert…… Menschen, die Geduld und Verständnis für ihre Ängste haben und ihr ein Zuhause geben, indem sie sich sicher fühlt. Wenn sich niemand findet, muss Pitti zurück ins Tierheim, was für sie, die auch vor anderen Katzen grosse Angst hat, noch mal traumatisierend wäre. Kontaktinformationen: Claudia Pfabe Tel.: mail: Das wünsche ich mir

About Pitti

What life with Pitti looks like

Pitti is an adult mixed breed 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 Pitti, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pitti?
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 Pitti on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pitti 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 Pitti 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 Pitti 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 Pitti 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.
