Rogsana

Scottish Fold · Female · 3 years

Special Feature: Apartment with a secure balcony. Rogsana is a Scottish Fold and belongs to the so-called breeding mills. But that shouldn't be her only characteristic. She came to us due to "aggressive behavior." We can't confirm that currently, but given that she suffers from moderate HD and noticeable issues with her lumbar vertebrae, as well as problems with struvite crystals, we can imagine that she was probably heavily pressured. Currently, she doesn't require any medication, only special food that regulates the struvite crystals. Rogsana is despite her sweet appearance not a cuddly cat; if she is overly pressured, she can strike or run away. Gentle stroking is okay if it's done carefully. She is happy to be anywhere and earns her beloved lick pastes with small tricks. She is a very attentive cat with a calm character. Potential owners should be familiar with her breed, and children should better not live in the new home. Rogsana has been living for some time in a shared apartment with our Sony, with whom she gets along well. However, previous socialization attempts have shown that she would rather be a solo princess.

Besonderes Merkmal: Wohnung, gesicherter Balkon. Rogsana ist eine Scottish Fold und gehört zu den sogenannten Qualzuchten. Das soll aber nicht ihr einziges Merkmal sein. Sie kam zu uns aufgrund von "aggressivem Verhalten". Das können wir akut nicht bestätigen, aber da sie unter einer mittelgradigen HD und Auffälligkeiten an der Lendenwirbelsäule leidet, sowie Probleme mit Struvitkristallen hat, können wir uns denken, dass sie wahrscheinlich zu sehr bedrängt wurde. Aktuell benötigt sie noch keine Medikamente, nur Spezialfutter, das die Struvitkristalle reguliert. Rogsana ist trotz ihres süßen Aussehen, keine Kuschelkatze, wird sie zu sehr bedrängt, kann sie zuhauen oder flüchtet. Vorsichtiges Streicheln findet sie in Ordnung, wenn man sich an ihr Maß hält. Sie ist gerne überall dabei und erarbeitet sich mit kleinen Tricks ihre geliebten Schleckpasten. Sie ist eine sehr aufmerksame Katze, die in allem aber einen ruhigen Charakter hat. Interessenten sollten sich mit ihrer Rasse beschäftigt haben, Kinder sollten besser nicht im neuen Zuhause leben. Rogsana lebt seit einiger Zeit in einer WG mit unserem Sony, mit dem sie sich sehr gut versteht. Vorherige Vergesellschaftungsversuche haben aber gezeigt, dass sie lieber Einzelprinzessin sein möchte.

About Rogsana

What life with Rogsana looks like

Rogsana is a medium-sized adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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.

Note from the shelter: Hip dysplasia, spinal pain, struvite crystals requiring special diet, future medication needs

🇩🇪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 Rogsana, answered.

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