Saphira

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Saphira is a female cat, approximately 7 years old, with one amputated leg, born around November 2025 on the island of Crete, Greece. She is social, playful and calm and does not do well as a single pet. Saphira was found pregnant on the street and then hit by a car, resulting in the loss of her kittens and one of her legs. Thanks to kind animal lovers and veterinarians, she has recovered well and gained new life. She is now looking for a loving home where she can live peacefully for many years. Saphira would thrive with a social feline companion or a cat with a similar disability. If you are not already a cat owner, we will find the perfect match together in our shelter.

Standort: Kreta, Griechenland Alter: geb. September 2025 Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Charakter: sozial, verspielt, ruhig !keine Einzelhaltung! Besonderheiten: 3 Beine Hallo liebe Menschen, ich bin Saphira, wurde ca. im November 2025 geboren und suche ein schönes Für-Immer-Zuhause. Mein Start ins Leben war leider sehr traurig – ich wurde auf der Straße schwanger und bin dann auch noch von einem Auto angefahren worden. Meine Babys haben leider nicht überlebt und eins meiner Beine musste entfernt werden. Dank einer lieben Tierschützerin und Tierärzten ist alles gut verheilt und ich habe neuen Lebensmut bekommen! Jetzt fehlt mir nur noch das passende Zuhause für ein ruhiges, langes Leben. In meinem neuen Zuhause wünsche ich mir einen sozialen Katzenpartner oder eine Katzenpartnerin, gerne ebenfalls mit einem Handicap. Wenn du noch keine Katze hast, dann finden wir in unserer

About Saphira

What life with Saphira looks like

Saphira is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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 Saphira, answered.

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