How do I contact the shelter about Principessa?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Paderborn handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Principessa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Principessa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Paderborn 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 Principessa 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 Principessa 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 Paderborn early rather than rehoming privately; they know Principessa 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.

Principessa

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

The charming Principessa (born around July 2025) is on the lookout for a loving home. The young female cat has already overcome a lot: she successfully survived an FIP illness and is currently still in what is known as the waiting period until mid-May. After that, she is considered healed. Due to the treatment, her castration and basic immunization are still pending. She is already dewormed. Character-wise, her name does her nature full justice: Principessa is a very cuddly, very intrusive, and people-oriented cat who actively seeks the company of her humans. She is initially a bit cautious with strangers but warms up quickly and then is happily in the middle of the action. She is playful, curious, and loves to be involved. She gets along well with other cats as well as with dogs. Children should already be a bit older (around 12 years) because they should know how to handle animals respectfully. For her new home, we wish for: • a secure balcony (must have) • an optional later free roam in a quiet area • a loving, species-appropriate environment • high-quality and responsible nutrition. Principessa wishes for people who will take the time to get to know her and give her a permanent, safe home. Who falls in love with this special little fighter?

Die bezaubernde Principessa (geb. ca. Juli 2025) ist auf der Suche nach einem liebevollen Zuhause.Die junge Katzendame hat bereits einiges hinter sich: Sie hat eine FIP-Erkrankung erfolgreich überstanden und befindet sich aktuell noch bis Mitte Mai in der sogenannten Wartezeit. Danach gilt sie als geheilt. Aufgrund der Behandlung stehen ihre Kastration sowie die Grundimmunisierung noch aus. Entwurmt ist sie bereits.Charakterlich macht ihr Name ihrem Wesen alle Ehre: Principessa ist eine sehr verschmuste, sehr aufdringliche und menschenbezogene Katze, die aktiv die Nähe ihrer Menschen sucht. Fremden gegenüber ist sie anfangs kurz vorsichtig, taut aber schnell auf und ist dann gerne mitten im Geschehen. Sie ist verspielt, neugierig und liebt es, dabei zu sein.Mit anderen Katzen sowie mit Hunden kommt sie gut zurecht. Kinder sollten bereits etwas älter sein (ab ca. 12 Jahren), da sie den respektvollen Umgang mit Tieren kennen sollten.Für ihr neues Zuhause wünschen wir uns:• einen gesicherten Balkon (Muss)• optional späteren Freigang in ruhiger Lage• ein liebevolles, artgerechtes Umfeld• hochwertige und verantwortungsbewusste ErnährungPrincipessa wünscht sich Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, weiter anzukommen, und ihr ein dauerhaftes, sicheres Zuhause schenken.Wer verliebt sich in diese besondere kleine Kämpferin?

About Principessa

What life with Principessa looks like

Principessa is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
