How do I contact the shelter about Pünktchen?

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

Can I adopt Pünktchen if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. 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 Pünktchen 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 Pünktchen 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 Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pünktchen and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Pünktchen

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Gender: Female Cat, neutered Since in our shelter: Since April 18, 2025 Features: Not singly housed, with free roam, rural surroundings Character: Initially shy, very snuggly with familiar people. The name of the mostly white kitten with black spots, Pünktchen, is a true beauty. However, this delicate kitten is not fully aware of it. At first, she was very shy and easily startled, but now she loves to snuggle and be petted, but please only if you are calm and gentle. Hasty and quick movements still startle her, so she should not live with small crawling children. The approximately 3-year-old Pünktchen would be happy to have company in the form of another cat in her new home or can also be rehomed together with one of our cats. However, she does not want to live completely alone, and a fully fenced garden or terrace would also be great for her. If you give Pünktchen plenty of peace, patience, safety, and love, she will give you her whole heart.

DE·Show original

Geschlecht: Katze, Kastriert Bei uns seit: 18.4.2025 Merkmale: Keine Einzelhaltung, mit Freilauf, ländliche Umgebung Charakter: anfangs vorsichtig, sehr schmusig bei vertrauten Personen. Bei Pünktchen ist der Name Programm. Das überwiegend weiße Katzenmädchen mit den schwarzen Flecken, ist eine wahre Schönheit. Das ist der zierlichen Kätzin allerdings selber nicht bewusst. Anfangs war sie noch sehr schüchtern und verschreckt, mittlerweile liebt sie es zu kuscheln und gestreichelt zu werden, aber bitte nur wenn man ruhig und vorsichtig ist. Hektische und schnelle Bewegungen erschrecken sie noch, weswegen sie auch nicht bei kleinen Krabbelkindern leben sollte. Die ca 3 jährige Pünktchen würde sich über Gesellschaft, in Form einer anderen Katze, in ihrem neuen Zuhause freuen oder kann auch mit einer unserer Katzen zusammen vermittelt werden. Sie möchte aber nicht komplett alleine leben, auch wäre Freilauf für sie super oder zumindest ein eingenetzter Garten oder Terrasse. Wenn man Pünktchen viel Ruhe, Geduld, Sicherheit und Liebe entgegen bringt, schenkt sie einem ihr ganzes Herz.
