Rata

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

Mein Besitzer war mit seinem Leben überfordert und konnte sich nicht mehr um mich kümmern. Deshalb kam ich ins Tierheim. Ich vertrage mich gut mit anderen Katzen. Mit fremden Menschen habe ich erst mal Probleme und ziehe mich zurück. Wenn ich euch aber besser kenne, schmuse ich super gerne und genieße meine Streicheleinheiten. Ich brauche keinen Freigang. Aber eine Wohnung mit eingenetztem Balkon wäre super. Wer ihn eine schriftliche Einverständniserklärung zur Tierhaltung vom Vermieter habt, dürft ihr euch gerne im Tierheim melden unter

About Rata

What life with Rata looks like

Rata is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rata, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rata?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rata on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rata if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stuttgart 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rata 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 Rata 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 Stuttgart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rata 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.
