How do I contact the shelter about Selina?

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

Can I adopt Selina if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stendal 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 Selina 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 Selina 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 Tierheim Stendal early rather than rehoming privately; they know Selina 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.

Selina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Selina – a quiet beauty searching for her own path 🐾 Selina, 3 years old, is a cat lady with a strong will and a gentle soul. At the moment, she doesn’t yet feel truly comfortable in her surroundings—everything seems just a bit too much, too loud, or simply not quite right. And that’s precisely why Selina is now looking for a home where she can finally feel at ease. She’ll let you pet her from time to time, but she always decides for herself when closeness feels right for her. Selina isn’t a cat who craves instant cuddles; rather, she’s one you respect, observe carefully, and get to know at her own pace. If you give her this freedom, you’ll be rewarded with small, precious moments of trust. Yet Selina knows exactly what she wants: outdoor access. Exploring the world outside, following her own paths, breathing fresh air, and having places to retreat—all these are essential for her. Ideally, she’d love to be an only cat, as she thoroughly enjoys not having to share her attention or her territory. We’re looking for people with heart, patience, and understanding for a cat who has her own rhythm. Whoever doesn’t impose anything on her but simply lets her be will give her the greatest gift: a home that finally feels absolutely right. 🧡 Quick overview * Born: 2022 * Personality: independent, sensitive, reserved * Petting: occasionally, depending on mutual affinity * Living situation: outdoor access preferred * Single-cat living: yes, preferably as an only princess * Ideal home: calm, patient, and understanding * Currently housed at the Stendal Animal Shelter

Selina – eine stille Schönheit auf der Suche nach ihrem eigenen Weg 🐾 Selina, 3 Jahre alt, ist eine Katzendame mit eigenem Kopf und feiner Seele. Aktuell fühlt sie sich in ihrer Umgebung noch nicht wirklich wohl – alles ist ihr ein wenig zu viel, zu laut oder einfach nicht das Richtige. Und genau deshalb sucht Selina nun ein Zuhause, in dem sie ankommen darf. Sie lässt sich ab und an streicheln, entscheidet dabei aber selbst, wann Nähe für sie passt. Selina ist keine Katze für sofortiges Kuscheln, sondern eine, die man respektiert, beobachtet und in ihrem Tempo kennenlernt. Wer ihr diese Freiheit lässt, wird mit kleinen, kostbaren Momenten des Vertrauens belohnt. Selina weiß jedoch ganz klar, was sie möchte: Freigang. Draußen die Welt erkunden, eigene Wege gehen, frische Luft und Rückzugsorte – das ist für sie essenziell. Am liebsten wäre sie dabei Einzelprinzessin, denn sie genießt es, ihre Aufmerksamkeit und ihr Revier nicht teilen zu müssen. Für Selina suchen wir Menschen mit Herz, Geduld und Verständnis für eine Katze, die ihren eigenen Rhythmus hat. Wer ihr nichts aufzwingt, sondern sie einfach sein lässt, schenkt ihr das größte Geschenk: ein Zuhause, das sich endlich richtig anfühlt. 🧡 Kurzübersicht * geboren: 2022 * Charakter: eigenständig, sensibel, zurückhaltend * Streicheln: gelegentlich, nach Sympathie * Haltung: Freigang erwünscht * Einzelhaltung: ja, gern als Einzelprinzessin * Wunschzuhause: ruhig, geduldig, verständnisvoll * untergebracht im Tierheim Stendal

About Selina

What life with Selina looks like

Selina is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Stendal in Stendal.

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.
