Silke

Mixed Breed · Female

Silke Rasse: European Shorthair Color: Tabby Gender: female Date of birth: approx. 2013 Spayed: yes Silke comes from one of our feeding stations, which we unfortunately had to close down because a building there was blown up. Due to her age, we had a blood test performed and found that her kidney values are not entirely normal; therefore, she is receiving a special diet food. She is a calm cat who prefers to keep her distance from people but gets along well with other cats. We are looking for a home for Silke where she can spend her golden years. There should be other cats living there, as well as a cat-safe balcony.

Silke Rasse: Europäisch Kurzhaar Farbe: getigert Geschlecht: weiblich Geburtsdatum: ca.2013 Kastriert: ja Silke kommt von einer unseren Futterstellen, die wir leider auflösen mussten. Da dort ein Gebäude gesprengt wurde. Aufgrund ihres Alters haben wir ein Blutbild machen lassen und stellten fest, das ihre Nieren Werte nicht ganz in Ordnung sind, deswegen bekommt sie Diät-Futter. Sie ist ein ruhige Katze, die eher nichts mit Menschen zu tun haben möchte, aber mit anderen Katzen kommt sie zurecht. Wir suchen für Sike ein Zuhause, wo sie ihren Lebensabend verbringen darf. Es sollten andere Katzen dort sein und ein Katzen sicherer Balkon.

About Silke

What life with Silke looks like

Silke is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. 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 Silke, answered.

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