Silky

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

I am Silky, a delicate female cat born around 2022, spayed and social with other cats. I was once a stray living in a city apartment building where a kind man fed me. However, about a year ago, I had kittens which did not please everyone there. Unfortunately, some cruel people killed my kittens. The man moved me to a safer area but I returned because it was my familiar territory and maybe my kittens were still alive. It was just a bad dream? When animal welfare worker Manuela learned of my tragic story, she quickly found a foster home for me. Now I wait here until I find a real home where I will be loved and can finally relax and feel at ease. And it would be wonderful if another cat could take my place here. Because when I find a home, another cat can come in. Here on my foster home, I have quickly gotten along with the other cats. I am social and hope to find a suitable female friend in my future home. If you don't already have a cat, I would be happy to bring a friend from here. That way two foster homes could become available, which would also be great! What else can I tell about myself? I was spayed, received my initial vaccinations against feline rhinotracheitis and panleukopenia, dewormed and de-fleaed, and when I travel to you, I will receive a microchip and rabies vaccination. I will also be tested for FIV and FeLV. You can read all of this in my EU pet passport. Then my caregiver will contact you and you can discuss further details. Until then! Your Silky

Standort: Rumänien, Orastie Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geboren: ca. 2022 Charakter: sozial Artgenossen gegenüber, keine Einzelhaltung! Handicap: ./. Miau hallo, ich bin die zierliche Silky, eine ehemalige Straßenkatze. Meine Vergangenheit möchte ich am liebsten vergessen, denn ich habe schon viel Schlimmes erlebt. Ich lebte an einem Wohngebäude mit Mietwohnungen mitten in der Stadt. Dort wurde ich von einem netten Mann ab und zu gefüttert. Dann etwa vor einem Jahr bekam ich Kitten und das gefiel leider nicht allen, die dort wohnten. Böse Menschen haben meine Kitten getötet, das war sehr schlimm für mich. Der Mann brachte mich aus der Gefahrenzone und setze mich in ein anderes Gebiet, wo es weniger gefährlich war. Aber ich kehrte zurück, weil ich nicht anders konnte, es war doch mein gewohntes Gebiet und vielleicht lebten meine Kitten ja doch noch und es war nur ein schlimmer Alptraum? Als die Tierschützerin Manuela von meiner tragischen Geschichte erfuhr, handelte sie schnell. Sie fand eine Pflegestelle für mich und hier warte ich nun bis ich ein richtiges Zuhause gefunden habe, wo man mich liebt und ich endlich entspannen und ankommen darf. Und es wäre schön, wenn mein Platz hier für eine weitere notleidende Katze frei werden würde. Denn wenn ich ein Zuhause finde, darf eine neue Katze hier einziehen. Hier auf meiner Pflegestelle bin ich mit den anderen Katzen sofort gut zurecht gekommen. Ich bin eine soziale Katze und wünsche mir in meinem künftigen Zuhause eine passende Katzenfreundin. Sollte bei dir noch keine Katze wohnen, dann bringe ich gern einen Freundin von hier mit. Dann würden gleich zwei Pflegeplätze frei werden, da wäre auch ganz toll! Was gibt es sonst noch über mich zu sagen? Ich wurde kastriert, habe meine Erstimpfungen gegen Katzenschnupfen, -seuche erhalten, bin entwurmt und entfloht und wenn ich zu dir reise erhalte ich noch einen Mikrochip und eine Tollwutimpfung. Und ich werde dann auch noch auf FIV und FelV getestet. Das kannst du dann auch alles in meinem EU-Heimtierausweis nachlesen. Dann wird sich meine Vermittlerin bei dir melden und ihr könnt weiteres besprechen. Bis dann! Deine Silky

About Silky

What life with Silky looks like

Silky is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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 Silky, answered.

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