Salome

Female · Adult · 4 years

Here comes Salome, as you can see, a Maine-Coon mix. Visually, a goddess, but when it comes to social skills with fellow animals, she's at the bottom of the barrel. At four years old, she's now sadly losing her home for the third time. Her first owner passed away, and Salome was taken in by her friend. Her own cats completely turned their backs on her because Salome was being aggressive. In her next home, she started bullying and fighting with the existing cats. Now she's looking for a place that is: purely suitable for apartment living, preferably with a secure balcony. No other cats, no small children; bigger children would be okay. Salome is extremely people-oriented, a lap cat and clever. She gets easily bored and needs mental stimulation. She loves to clear window sills, and wherever she is, she's in front. Lots of alone time is not for this lady. Of course, she's neutered. A fresh vaccination and the chip will still need to be done before the move. The meeting will take place near Ebertplatz in Cologne.

Hier kommt Salome, wie man sieht ein Maine-Coon-Mix. Rein optisch eine Göttin, von der Sozialkompetenz im Bezug auf Artgenossen unter aller Kanone. Mit 4 Jahren verliert sie nun leider zum dritten Mal das Zuhause. Ihr erstes Frauchen verstarb leider, Salome wurde von der Freundin übernommen. Da drehten die eigenen Katzen völlig ab, weil Salome drauf los ging. Im nächsten Zuhause begann sie, die vorhandenen Katzen zu mobben und zu prügeln. Nun sucht sie und zwar wie folgt: Reine Wohnungshaltung, präferiert mit gesichertem Balkon. Keine anderen Katzen, keine Kleinkinder, größere Kinder wären für sie okay. Salome ist extrem menschenbezogen, eine Labertasche und clever. Sie ist schnell unterfordert und braucht Beschäftigung. Fensterbänke werden gerne abgeräumt und wo sie ist, ist vorne. Viel Alleinsein ist nichts für die Lady. Natürlich ist sie kastriert. Eine frische Impfung und der Chip werden zum Umzug noch erledigt. Das Kennenlernen findet in der Nähe vom Ebertplatz in Köln statt. Die

About Salome

What life with Salome looks like

Salome is a adult cat waiting at Straßenkatzen Köln e.V. in Köln.

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 Salome, answered.

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