Rosi

European Shorthair · Female

I am Rosi and I tend to be more of an observer. Coming from where I do, I know what it's like to be around other cats, so having another friendly cat around would be nice. What I definitely want again is free access to the outdoors. I am very reserved and sometimes scared of people, preferring to observe them from a safe distance first. Once I realize they mean me no harm, I become braver and might even eat in their presence or sniff their finger.

DE·Show original

Ich bin Rosi & bin eher eine Beobachterin. Von dort wo ich her komme, kenne ich die Gesellschaft anderer Katzen, deswegen wäre eine weitere nette Katze in meiner Umgebung schön. Was ich aber definitiv gerne wieder hätte ist Freigang. Menschen gegenüber bin ich sehr zurückhaltend, teils schreckhaft & beobachte sie lieber erstmal aus sicherer Entfernung. Wenn ich dann festgestellt habe, dass sie mir nichts tun, werde ich auch mutiger & traue mich auch mal in ihrer Gegenwart zu fressen oder mal am Finger zu schnuppern.

About Rosi

What life with Rosi looks like

Rosi is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Rosi, answered.

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