Shadow

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

female Foundling/Stray Born ca. 2020 EKH neutered [x] yes / [] no At the animal shelter since 22.03.2026 ________________________ We test every cat with a quick test for FIV ("Cat AIDS", more info here!) and FeLV ("Cat Leukemia", more info here!) and clarify the status. We inform here about the risk of FIP disease ("Belly Inflammation"). ________________________ Just over a year after her Shadow, she has settled in well with us again and is desperately searching for a suitable place. The former stray cat originally came to us with her kittens from Amöneburg. They had lived as strays there and made it through. The pretty female cat is curious, although still not tame. However, she has shown herself to be very loyal and settled, staying at home and adhering to regular feeding times. Now, she hides with us. We are looking for a loving home for Shadow where she can be well cared for, given the opportunity to build more contact with people, but also accepted if she never chooses this step due to her past. She can live happily as a well-cared-for farm cat, but of course, she should be properly introduced and settled. Shadow does not necessarily need other cats, but she gets along with them – especially with female cats – as long as they are unobtrusive. She also has no problem with cat-friendly dogs. We wish Shadow so much that she gets a beautiful home in the countryside, which gives her a safe and sheltered place! ________________________ (As of 29.04.2026) (Click the images to see them in full size!) The description gives the current status, but we reserve the right to make changes or new assessments. It can always happen that an animal shows or develops differently due to changed circumstances both here at the animal shelter and in the new home. This cat needs outdoor access.

weiblich Fundtier/Freigang Geboren ca. 2020 EKH Kastriert ja / [] nein Im Tierheim seit 22.03.2026 ________________________ Wir testen jede Katze per Schnelltest auf FIV („Katzen-Aids“, Infos hier!) und FeLV („Katzen-Leukose“, Infos hier!) und klären über den Status auf. Wir informieren hier über das Risiko einer FIP-Erkrankung („Bauchfellentzündung“). ________________________ Knapp ein Jahr nach ihrer Shadow hat sich bei uns wieder gut eingelebt und sucht dringend einen passenden Platz. Die ehemalige Streunerin war ursprünglich mit ihren Kätzchen aus Amöneburg zu uns gekommen. Sie hatten dort streunend gelebt und sich durchgeschlagen. Die hübsche Katzendame ist neugierig, wenn auch weiterhin nicht handzahm. Sie hat sich aber sehr treu und sesshaft gezeigt, ist am Haus geblieben und hat dort feste Fütterungszeiten eingehalten. Bei uns versteckt sie sich jetzt zu Wir suchen für Shadow einen liebevollen Platz, der sie gut versorgt, ihr weiterhin die Möglichkeit gibt, mehr Kontakt zum Menschen aufzubauen, aber auch akzeptiert, wenn sie diesen Schritt aufgrund ihrer Vergangenheit nie wählen wird. Sie kann gerne als gut betreute Hofkatze leben, sollte aber natürlich gut und sicher eingewöhnt werden. Shadow braucht andere Katzen nicht unbedingt, kommt aber mit ihnen zurecht – besonders mit weiblichen Katzen – solange sie sich unaufdringlich zeigen. Sie hat auch mit katzenverträglichen Hunden kein Problem. Wir wünschen Shadow so sehr, dass sie ein schönes Zuhause in ländlicher Umgebung bekommt, das ihr einen sicheren und behüteten Platz schenkt! ________________________ (Stand 29.04.2026) (Bilder anklicken um sie in voller Größe zu sehen!)

Es kann immer passieren, dass ein Tier sich aufgrund veränderter Umstände sowohl hier im Tierheim als auch im neuen Zuhause anders zeigt oder anders entwickelt.

About Shadow

What life with Shadow looks like

Shadow is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Marburg in Marburg.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Shadow, answered.

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