Selma

European Shorthair · Female

Gesuchte Haltungsform: Freigang gerne mit Katzengesellschaft Die hübsche Tricolor-Katze Selma wurde gefunden und wartet nun auf ihr Für-immer-Zuhause. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sie sich freundlich und genießt Streicheleinheiten durchaus. Dabei hat Selma aber auch ihren eigenen Kopf und macht charmant deutlich, wenn sie gerade genug gekuschelt hat oder lieber zu einer Spielrunde übergehen möchte. Selma ist eine selbstbewusste, unkomplizierte Katze, die weiß, was sie möchte, ohne dabei zickig oder schwierig zu sein. Wer Katzen mit Charakter schätzt, wird an ihr viel Freude haben. Mittlerweile haben wir festgestellt, dass Selma auch gut mit etwas älteren Kindern zurecht kommt. Mit anderen Katzen kommt Selma auch gut zurecht, daher wünschen wir uns für sie Katzengesellschaft in ihrem neuen Zuhause. Nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit möchte sie außerdem wieder die Welt draußen entdecken und sollte deshalb später Freigang bekommen. Selma sucht Menschen, die ihre freundliche Art zu schätzen wissen und ihr sowohl Aufmerksamkeit als auch die Freiheit geben, einfach Katze zu sein. 🐾💕 Wer die liebe Selma kennenlernen möchte, vereinbart bitte mit uns zuvor einen Termin. :-) E-Mail:

About Selma

What life with Selma looks like

Selma is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. in St. Ingbert.

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 Selma, answered.

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