How do I contact the shelter about Silke?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stendal 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 — Tierheim Stendal 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 Tierheim Stendal 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.

Silke

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

🐾 Silke is searching for her very own happy ending 🐾 Our dear Silke, approximately 2–3 years old, came to our animal shelter together with her five kittens. With lots of love and care, she raised her little ones—now it’s time for her to finally take center stage herself. Silke is an incredibly open, cuddly, and people-oriented cat. She loves being petted, seeks the closeness of her humans, and with her friendly nature, she brings a smile to everyone’s face. As soon as her kittens move into their own families in early/mid-August, Silke will also be ready to start her new chapter. She has more than earned her own home—a place where she can simply be loved and pampered. So far, we haven’t been able to test whether Silke gets along with other cats. Therefore, this should be decided in her new home depending on the situation and mutual compatibility. Silke would be thrilled about outdoor access in a quiet environment, though it’s not a must. Who will finally give this wonderful cat mom the home that’s truly hers? ❤️ 🐾 Silke at a glance * Approximately 2–3 years old * Came to us with five kittens * Very open, cuddly, and people-oriented * Loving cat mom * Ready to move out from early/mid-August * Compatibility with other cats not yet tested * Outdoor access is nice but not mandatory * Seeks a loving forever home where she can feel right at home ❤️

🐾 Silke sucht ihr eigenes Happy End 🐾 Unsere liebe Silke, etwa 2–3 Jahre alt, kam gemeinsam mit ihren fünf Kitten zu uns ins Tierheim. Mit ganz viel Liebe und Fürsorge hat sie ihren Nachwuchs großgezogen – nun wird es Zeit, dass auch sie endlich im Mittelpunkt stehen darf. Silke ist eine unglaublich aufgeschlossene, verschmuste und menschenbezogene Katze. Sie liebt Streicheleinheiten, sucht die Nähe ihrer Menschen und zaubert mit ihrem freundlichen Wesen jedem ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. Sobald ihre Kitten Anfang/Mitte August in ihre eigenen Familien ziehen, möchte auch Silke ihr neues Kapitel beginnen. Sie hat sich ihr eigenes Zuhause mehr als verdient – einen Ort, an dem sie einfach nur geliebt und verwöhnt werden darf. Ob Silke sich mit anderen Katzen versteht, konnten wir bisher noch nicht testen. Deshalb sollte dies im neuen Zuhause je nach Situation und Sympathie entschieden werden. Über Freigang in einer ruhigen Umgebung würde sich Silke sehr freuen, dieser ist jedoch kein Muss. Wer schenkt dieser wundervollen Katzenmama endlich das Zuhause, das nur ihr gehört? ❤️ 🐾 Silke auf einen Blick * ca. 2–3 Jahre alt * kam mit fünf Kitten zu uns * sehr aufgeschlossen, verschmust und menschenbezogen * liebevolle Katzenmama * ab Anfang/Mitte August bereit für den Umzug * Verträglichkeit mit anderen Katzen noch nicht getestet * Freigang schön, aber kein Muss * sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause zum Ankommen ❤️

About Silke

What life with Silke looks like

Silke is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Stendal in Stendal.

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.
