Shani

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

animal rescuer: Vania Tzoneva born: approximately August 2025 Gender: female Location: Bulgaria spayed: yes FIV test: negative FeLV test: negative Disabilities: none Compatible with: Children: not known Cats: yes Dogs: not known Requirements: NO single housing only suitable for apartment living, NO outdoor access Balcony or terrace desired (if available, safety measures are required) Shani and her two sisters were brought by a woman to a veterinarian - supposedly for sterilization. She stated that the cats were strays. However, this initially seemed questionable: all three were healthy and very social with people. The woman left the cats at the clinic and said she would go get some money. But she never came back. Since it was the veterinarian where our animal rescuer regularly brings her protected animals, he contacted her. Vania did not hesitate long and took all three sisters in. In the first days, Shani - like her sisters - was still unsettled by the sudden change. But now she has settled in. Shani shows herself to be a loving, gentle and very social cat. She meets people friendly and calmly, likes to be petted and enjoys the attention. She also gets along very well with other cats. She is not a daredevil, but rather a delicate, yet playful, soul. Shani can hardly wait to move into a loving home where she can play, cuddle and feel at home. With her kind, gentle nature, she will quickly win the hearts of her people.

Tierschützerin: Vania Tzoneva geboren: ca. August 2025 Geschlecht: weiblich Aufenthaltsort: Bulgarien kastriert: ja FIV-Test: negativ FeLV-Test: negativ Handicaps: keine verträglich mit: Kindern: nicht bekannt Katzen: ja Hunden: nicht bekannt Voraussetzungen: KEINE Einzelhaltung nur Wohnungshaltung, KEIN Freigang Balkon oder Terrasse wünschenswert (sofern vorhanden, ist die Sicherung erforderlich) Shani und ihre beiden Schwestern wurden von einer Frau zu einem Tierarzt gebracht – angeblich zur Kastration. Sie erklärte dort, die Katzen seien Streunerinnen. Doch das wirkte von Anfang an fraglich: Alle drei waren gesund und sehr sozial im Umgang mit Menschen. Die Frau ließ die Katzen in der Praxis zurück und kündigte an, kurz Geld holen zu gehen. Doch sie kam nie wieder. Da es sich um den Tierarzt handelt, bei dem auch unsere Tierschützerin regelmäßig mit ihren Schützlingen ist, wandte er sich an sie. Vania zögerte nicht lange und nahm alle drei Schwestern bei sich auf. In den ersten Tagen war Shani – wie ihre Schwestern – noch verunsichert von der plötzlichen Veränderung. Doch inzwischen ist sie angekommen. Shani zeigt sich als liebe, sanfte und sehr soziale Katze. Sie begegnet Menschen freundlich und ruhig, lässt sich gerne streicheln und genießt die Aufmerksamkeit. Auch mit anderen Katzen kommt sie sehr gut zurecht. Sie ist keine Draufgängerin, sondern eher eine zarte, aber auch verspielte, Seele. Shani kann es kaum erwarten, in ein liebevolles Zuhause zu ziehen, in dem sie spielen, kuscheln und ankommen darf. Mit ihrer lieben, sanften Art wird sie schnell die Herzen ihrer Menschen erobern.‼️Shani wird nur zu einem bereits vorhandenen Kitten in ähnlichem Alter vermittelt, oder sie bringt eine ihrer Schwestern mit‼️

About Shani

What life with Shani looks like

Shani is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein in Germany.

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 Shani, answered.

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