Roma

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten

Roxy, Rubia, Roma and Ria are four siblings who were found together with their parents. The parents were able to return to their old territory at the place of discovery after being spayed/neutered and are being looked after by their finders. The four kittens were allowed to move into the adoption area of the animal shelter after a short quarantine period. There they are really thriving. They finally have space to play and romp around and enjoy the company of the other cats in the house very much. It is especially nice that the adult cats lovingly care for the four and give them a lot of affection. We are looking for a home for all four where other cats already live. The siblings need familiar fellow cats to hold on to and that give them security. Later, secured outdoor access should be possible. The new owners should understand that building trust takes time. Older children are better suited, as well as people who have experience in dealing with fearful cats.

Roxy, Rubia, Roma und Ria sind vier Geschwister, die zusammen mit ihren Eltern gefunden wurden. Die Eltern konnten nach der Kastration in ihr altes Revier am Fundort zurückkehren und werden von ihren Findern weiter betreut. Die vier Jungen durften nach einer kurzen Quarantänezeit in den Vermittlungsbereich des Tierheims umziehen. Dort blühen sie richtig auf. Sie haben endlich Platz zum Spielen und Toben und genießen die Gesellschaft der anderen Katzen im Haus sehr. Besonders schön ist, dass sich die erwachsenen Kater liebevoll um die vier kümmern und ihnen viel Nähe schenken. Wir suchen für alle vier ein Zuhause, in dem andere Katzen bereits leben. Die Geschwister brauchen vertraute Artgenossen, an die sie sich halten können und die ihnen Sicherheit geben. Später sollte gesicherter Freigang möglich sein. Die neuen Besitzer sollten verstehen, dass der Aufbau von Vertrauen Zeit kostet. Größere Kinder sind besser geeignet, ebenso Menschen, die Erfahrung im Umgang mit ängstlichen Katzen haben.

About Roma

What life with Roma looks like

Roma is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Roma, answered.

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