Princess&Fibi

Scottish Fold · Female · 5 years

Special Feature: Apartment with a secure balcony. Fibi and Princess are Scottish Folds and, given how difficult their lives have already been, they are very shy. That’s why they are on our foster home to reduce their stress in the shelter environment. Fibi and Princess need some time to get used to new people, but once they do, they become very cuddly. Character-wise, they are very quiet and can also be with larger, quieter children. Due to their breed-specific severe spondylosis, they already require medication for pain relief. Interested parties should definitely familiarize themselves with the Scottish Fold breed.

Besonderes Merkmal: Wohnung, gesicherter Balkon. Werden auf der Pflegestelle immer mutiger. Fibi und Princess sind Scottish Fold und als hätten sie es so nicht schon schwer genug, sind sie sehr schüchtern. Deswegen befinden sie sich auf einer Pflegestelle von uns, damit sie nicht mehr so gestresst im Tierheimalltag sind. Fibi und Princess brauchen eine Weile um sich an neue Menschen zu gewöhnen, aber wenn es dann mal klick gemacht hat, sind die beiden ganz verschmuste Fellnasen. Charakterlich sind sie sehr ruhig und können auch zu größeren ruhigen Kindern. Da die beiden rassebedingt hochgradige Spondylosen haben, benötigen sie schon Medikamente zur Schmerzlinderung. Interessenten sollten sich unbedingt mit der Rasse Scottish Fold beschäftigt haben.

About Princess&Fibi

What life with Princess&Fibi looks like

Princess&Fibi is a small adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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.

Note from the shelter: High-grade spondylosis requiring medication; extremely shy and not well-socialized with humans

🇩🇪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 Princess&Fibi, answered.

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