How do I contact the shelter about Safira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Streunerglück e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Safira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Safira if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Streunerglück e.V. 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 Safira 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 Safira 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 Streunerglück e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Safira 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.

Safira

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Safira, a domestic cat, can travel to Germany on 07.08.2026 and is still looking for a suitable foster or permanent home. Safira is the mother of Astrid, Gundula, Levi, and Nox. Safira - the strong cat mother from the Buna Canal❤️ Buna means "the water-rich". A name that seems almost like a sign for Safira and her four babies. Because water does not stay where it is held. It finds its way, carries on and eventually finds a place where it can be calm. Exactly there, at the Buna Canal near Mostar, Safira was found with her four kittens Astrid, Gundula, Levi and Nox. In a box, with some food, water and milk by her side. Safira lay close to her little ones, kept them warm and made a protected beginning from the little that was left to her. Her body was her small roof, her heartbeat the first safe rhythm her babies knew. On closer inspection, she seemed to have known people. Not like a creature that only learned to keep distance, but like a mother who may have known a door, a voice, a place that was once hers. Her friendly, trusting nature makes her story even more touching, because somewhere between yesterday and today she must have lost exactly that.

Safira: die Mama vom Buna-Kanal, die jetzt selbst erst einmal ankommen muss ❤️ Safira wurde am Buna-Kanal bei Mostar gefunden. In einem Karton, mit etwas Futter, Wasser und Milch an ihrer Seite. Ganz nah bei ihr: ihre vier Babys Astrid, Gundula, Levi und Nox. Sie hielt ihre Kleinen warm, gab ihnen Nähe und machte aus diesem Karton für einen Moment das Sicherste, was sie ihnen geben konnte. Irgendwie wirkte Safira dabei, als hätte sie Menschen schon einmal gekannt. Als hätte es vielleicht einmal eine Tür gegeben, eine Stimme, einen Platz, der zu ihr gehörte. Inzwischen lebt Safira auf einer Pflegestelle. Ihre Babys sind groß genug geworden, um eigene Wege zu gehen. Und genau das war für Safira nicht leicht. Die

About Safira

What life with Safira looks like

Safira is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Streunerglück e.V. in München.

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.
