Sally

Female

I’m Sally, and I was born in Spain sometime between 2016 and 2017. For many years, I lived in a supervised cat colony, where I was well cared for but preferred to keep my distance from people—keeping them at a safe remove. Some time ago, I was able to move to a foster home in Bad Camberg. That was a big step for me—and the start of a whole new chapter in my life. Here, every day I learn just a little bit more that people aren’t as scary as I once thought. I’m a calm and reserved lady cat who needs time to build trust. But these days, I’m getting better and better at doing just that. Recently, my foster mom even let me be petted for the very first time—a huge milestone for me and a clear sign that I’m ready to open up, bit by bit. I don’t need any rush or big adventures. What I really long for are people who’ll accept me exactly as I am and give me the time I need to set my own pace. In general, I get along great with other cats. Having a relaxed and confident feline companion by my side could help me gain even more trust and feel completely secure in my new home. I’ve already been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. For my future, I’d love a quiet home with patient people who won’t place any expectations on me but will instead rejoice in every single little step forward I take. I want the chance to keep building trust and eventually enjoy my people’s company completely naturally. Maybe I’ll never be the kind of cat who immediately jumps onto everyone’s lap—but if you win my heart, that trust we share will be something truly special. Will you join me on this journey and give me the time I need to feel right at home with you?

Ich bin Sally und wurde ungefähr zwischen 2016 und 2017 in Spanien geboren. Viele Jahre lebte ich in einer betreuten Katzenkolonie, wo ich zwar gut versorgt wurde, den Menschen aber lieber aus sicherer Entfernung begegnete. Vor einiger Zeit durfte ich auf eine Pflegestelle nach Bad Camberg ziehen. Das war ein großer Schritt für mich – und der Beginn eines neuen Lebens. Hier lerne ich jeden Tag ein kleines bisschen mehr, dass Menschen gar nicht so unheimlich sind. Ich bin eine ruhige und zurückhaltende Katzendame, die Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Doch genau das gelingt mir inzwischen immer besser. Vor Kurzem durfte mich meine Pflegemama sogar zum ersten Mal streicheln – ein riesiger Meilenstein für mich und ein Zeichen dafür, dass ich bereit bin, mich Stück für Stück zu öffnen. Ich brauche keine Hektik und keine großen Abenteuer. Viel lieber wünsche ich mir Menschen, die mich so annehmen, wie ich bin, und mir die Zeit geben, mein eigenes Tempo zu bestimmen. Mit anderen Katzen komme ich grundsätzlich gut zurecht. Eine entspannte und souveräne Samtpfote an meiner Seite könnte mir helfen, noch mehr Vertrauen zu gewinnen und mich in meinem neuen Zuhause sicher zu fühlen. Ich bin bereits kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt, gechippt und wurde negativ auf FIV sowie FeLV getestet. Für meine Zukunft wünsche ich mir ein ruhiges Zuhause mit geduldigen Menschen, die keine Erwartungen an mich stellen, sondern sich über jeden noch so kleinen Fortschritt freuen. Ich möchte die Chance bekommen, weiter Vertrauen aufzubauen und irgendwann ganz selbstverständlich die Nähe meiner Menschen zu genießen. Vielleicht werde ich nie die Katze sein, die jedem sofort auf den Schoß springt – aber wenn du mein Herz gewinnst, dann ist dieses Vertrauen etwas ganz Besonderes. Begleitest du mich auf meinem Weg und schenkst mir die Zeit, die ich brauche, um bei dir anzukommen?

About Sally

What life with Sally looks like

Sally is a large adult cat waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. in Germany.

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 Sally, answered.

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