Polina

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Polina ist etwa 5 Jahre alt und kam aus dem rumänischen Tierschutz zu uns. Mit ihrer fröhlichen, neugierigen Art verbreitet sie überall gute Laune. Sie liebt es einfach, ihre Umgebung zu erkunden, mit Menschen oder Katzen zu spielen (gibt es da einen Unterschied? Nööö!) und ist immer mittendrin statt nur dabei. Polina ist offen, unkompliziert und findet das Leben einfach spannend. Weil sie ihre Artgenossen so mag, wünschen wir uns für sie einen bereits vorhandenen, sozialen und ebenso verspielten Katzenfreund (oder eine Freundin) in ähnlichem Alter, mit dem sie gemeinsam durchs Leben gehen kann. Auch Familien mit Kindern können wir uns für Polina sehr gut vorstellen. Kinder sind für sie tolle Spielkameraden und sorgen für genau die Abwechslung, die sie so liebt. Polina macht einem sehr einfach, so dass auch Katzenanfänger geeignet sind. Polina möchte als Wohnungskatze in ein ausreichend großes Zuhause mit einem gut gesicherten Balkon ziehen, auf dem sie Sonne tanken und das bunte Treiben draußen beobachten kann. Wer eine lebensfrohe, verschmuste und aktive Mitbewohnerin sucht, wird in Polina eine wunderbare Begleiterin finden. Gerne bei Interesse das Kontaktformular ausfüllen. Bei Interesse meldet euch bitte mit Infos (Wohnort, Hundeerfahrung, andere Haustiere usw.) und einer Telefonnummer per Mail:

About Polina

What life with Polina looks like

Polina is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Helenenhof-Hürth/Tierschutzverein in Hürth.

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 Polina, answered.

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