Puschi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Puschi is a stately brown-black female cat who lost her home because a family member was allergic to her. Now, we can say that Puschi also reacted allergic to this unexpected change in her life - in the beginning, with the self-confident three-year-old, it was "not good cherry eating" anyway. Meanwhile, Puschi has gotten used to us. She can still not stand the other cats, who she obviously sees only as competition, so she is currently housed in a private foster home. Apart from the fact that Puschi considers herself to get too little attention (namely not constantly), she likes this solution quite well. She makes her needs known quite clearly: people she knows a little are so mercilessly besieged that it is sometimes a bit too much for the more reserved among the bipeds. Since Puschi is an extremely sensitive being despite her self-love, she notices the rejection - no matter how diplomatically or gently it is presented - immediately and withdraws sulking. Depending on her mood, she has given the inaccessible fellow a small reminder before. This can also happen if the lady has enjoyed enough caresses, but her servant did not notice this quickly enough. Or if you offer her treats, but do not manage it skillfully enough and she has to wait unreasonably long - so about two seconds. Or, or ... Cat lovers have noticed it a long time ago: Puschi is a "real cat" - an assessment that does not do justice to the gentle among these wonderful creatures. It is meant to say that Puschi can be very loving and cuddly, but turns into a little snob if something does not suit her. We believe that these antics can be significantly curbed with a lot of patience and loving boundary setting. However, we are not so reckless as to promise this. That's why we are looking for Puschi - in the knowledge that there are certainly such people - cat lovers who appreciate this self-centered behavior in the little mini-tiger beauties. For obvious reasons, there should be no small children or complaining bipeds in the household, because there will be one or two scratches in the initial phase of living together. Other cats, as mentioned, also do not get along well. But whoever likes to be the butler for his cat queen or works on demanding educational tasks may apply for Puschi's favor at any time. She will definitely consider a move. However, a nice garden must be part of the new kingdom, where the lady can relax from time to time or argue with annoying neighbor cats.

DE·Show original

Puschi ist eine stattliche braun-schwarze Katzendame, die ihr Zuhause verloren hat, weil ein Familienmitglied allergisch auf sie reagierte. Nun, wir können sagen, dass Puschi auf diese unerwünschte Veränderung in ihrem Leben ebenfalls allergisch reagierte – in der Anfangszeit war mit der selbstbewussten Dreijährigen jedenfalls nicht „gut Kirschen essen“. Mittlerweile hat Puschi sich an uns gewöhnt. Den anderen Katzen, die sie offenkundig ausschließlich als Konkurrenz betrachtet, kann sie freilich noch immer nichts abgewinnen, weshalb die kapriziöse Dame derzeit auf einer privaten Pflegestelle untergebracht ist. Davon abgesehen, dass Puschi nach eigener Einschätzung viel zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit bekommt (nämlich nicht ständig), gefällt ihr diese Lösung ganz gut. Ihre Bedürfnisse versteht Puschi recht deutlich mitzuteilen: Menschen, die sie ein wenig kennt, werden so gnadenlos bestürmt, dass es den zurückhaltenderen unter den Zweibeinern hin und wieder schon ein bisschen zu viel ist. Da Puschi trotz aller Selbstverliebtheit ein überaus sensibles Wesen ist, bemerkt sie die Zurückweisung – egal wie diplomatisch oder sanft sie vorgetragen wird – sofort und zieht schmollend ab. Je nach Laune hat sie den unzugänglichen Zeitgenossen zuvor einen kleinen Denkzettel verpasst. Den kann es übrigens auch geben, wenn die Lady genug Streicheleinheiten genossen hat, ihr Dienstbote dies aber nicht schnell genug bemerkte. Oder wenn man ihr Leckerchen anbietet, sich dabei aber nicht geschickt genug anstellt und sie ungebührlich lange warten muss – also etwa zwei Sekunden. Oder, oder … Katzenliebhaber haben es längst bemerkt: Puschi ist eine „echte Katze“ – eine Einschätzung, die den sanftmütigen unter diesen wundervollen Geschöpfen natürlich nicht gerecht wird. Gemeint ist ja auch eher, dass Puschi zwar sehr lieb und kuschelig sein kann, aber zur kleinen Zicke mutiert, wenn ihr etwas nicht passt. Wir glauben, dass diese Allüren mit viel Geduld und liebevollem Grenzen setzen deutlich eingedämmt werden können. Allerdings sind wir nicht so wagemutig, dies zu versprechen. Deshalb suchen wir für Puschi – in dem Bewusstsein, dass es solche Menschen durchaus gibt -, Katzenfreunde, die genau dieses selbstverliebte Verhalten an den kleinen Minitiger-Schönheiten schätzen. Aus naheliegenden Gründen sollten keine kleinen Kinder oder wehleidige Zweibeiner im Haushalt leben, denn zu dem einen oder anderen Kratzer wird es gerade in der Anfangsphase des Zusammenlebens ziemlich sicher kommen. Andere Katzen kommen wie gesagt auch nicht gut an. Wer aber gern den Butler für seine Katzen-Königin gibt oder sich an anspruchsvollen Erziehungsaufgaben abarbeitet, darf sich jederzeit bei Puschi um ihre Gunst bewerben. Sie wird einen Umzug auf jeden Fall in Betracht ziehen. Allerdings sollte zum neuen Königreich unbedingt ein feiner Garten gehören, in dem die Dame hin und wieder ein bisschen entspannen oder sich mit lästigen Nachbarkatzen streiten kann.

About Puschi

What life with Puschi looks like

Puschi is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Neuwied e.V. in Neuwied.

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 Puschi, answered.

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