Rita und ihre Katzenkinder

Female · Young · 1 year

Mama Rita was brought to us from the town of Gevenich. About 8 weeks ago, she met her finder there and unexpectedly gave birth to 5 kitten children on a meadow. Fortunately, action was quickly taken, and the cat family, including Mama Rita, was brought to us. Currently, she lives in a foster home and can raise her little ones in peace. Unfortunately, one of the kitten children did not make it and died a few days after birth from an infection. The kittens were born around 6 weeks ago.

Mama Rita wurde uns aus dem Ort Gevenich gebracht. Dort lief sie ihren Finder vor etwa 8 Wochen zu und brachte völlig unerwartet 5 Katzenkinder in einer Wiese auf die Welt. Zum Glück wurde schnell reagiert und die Katzenfamilie samt Mama Rita zu uns gebracht. Aktuell lebt sie in einer Pflegestelle und darf dort in Ruhe ihre Kleinen groß ziehen. Leider hat es eins der Katzenkinder nicht geschafft und ist wenige Tage nach der Geburt an einem Infekt gestorben. Die Kleinen sind geb. ca. 6. Mai 2026

About Rita und ihre Katzenkinder

What life with Rita und ihre Katzenkinder looks like

Rita und ihre Katzenkinder is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Rita und ihre Katzenkinder, answered.

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