Shakira

European Shorthair · Female

Shakira is a beautiful tricolor female cat who needs a loving home with other cats. She prefers to live indoors and enjoys the quiet company of her feline friends. Shakira was named after a world-famous singer, but she doesn't need a stage to shine - instead, she quietly waits for attention from those around her. After losing her owner, Shakira had to start over and is initially shy, taking time to observe her new surroundings. However, with patience and gentle care, you will discover that she is a sweet cat who loves cuddles and genuine affection. She gets along well with other cats and can be a wonderful addition to any household. We hope to find Shakira a forever home where she can thrive in the company of her feline friends.

DE·Show original

Gesuchte Haltungsform: Freigang oder Wohnung und Katzengesellschaft Shakira trägt zwar den Namen eines Weltstars, große Bühnenauftritte sind aber so gar nicht ihr Ding. Stattdessen setzt sie lieber auf die leisen Töne. Während andere Katzen lautstark nach Aufmerksamkeit verlangen, denkt sich Shakira: „Ich warte einfach, bis du mich entdeckst.“ Die hübsche Tricolor-Dame musste nach dem Tod ihres Besitzers noch einmal ganz von vorne anfangen. Anfangs ist sie deshalb etwas schüchtern und schaut sich alles in Ruhe an. Doch wer ihr ein wenig Zeit schenkt, wird schnell merken: Hinter der vorsichtigen Fassade steckt eine liebe Katze, die Streicheleinheiten sehr genießt und sich über Zuwendung ehrlich freut. Mit ihren Artgenossen kommt Shakira prima zurecht und zeigt, dass man auch ohne großes Drama einfach eine tolle Mitbewohnerin sein kann. Für sie wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause mit netter Katzengesellschaft. Und wer weiß – vielleicht schnurrt sie eines Tages doch noch ihren ganz persönlichen Hit. 🙂 Katzenhaus Oberwürzbach oder

About Shakira

What life with Shakira looks like

Shakira is a large 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 Shakira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shakira?
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 Shakira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shakira 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 Shakira 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 Shakira 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 Shakira 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.
