Silvestra

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Just before the New Year, we were notified of some very small kittens in very poor condition at a standalone barn shed. On New Year's Eve, the last kitten, a girl with a severe anal prolapse, was secured and brought to the animal clinic immediately, and two days later moved to our nursing station. This is how Silvestra got her name and came into our care. The first few weeks were still dramatic with many vet visits for the little Silvestra, as unfortunately, the conservative treatment was not successful. But no matter how badly Silvestra was doing, she showed an unbridled will to live. In mid-January, a large emergency abdominal operation was performed, from which the delicate kitten slowly recovered. Silvestra is not yet fully recovered, but she is now physically stable, eats without restrictions/special food, and is now catching up on everything she missed in her first weeks of life. She curiously explores the nursing station with the cat group and has experienced a first growth spurt. Silvestra was born in November 2025, is neutered, and will not be rehomed as a single cat! If you want to accompany Silvestra into her further cat life and give her a great home and a new family, we look forward to your contact.

Kurz vor dem Jahreswechsel wurden uns sehr kleine Kitten in sehr schlechten Zustand an einer freistehenden Feldscheune gemeldet. Am Silvestermorgen konnte das letzte Kitten, ein Mädchen mit einem heftigen Enddarmprolaps, gesichert und umgehend in die Tierklinik gebracht und 2 Tage später auf unserer Krankenpflegestelle umziehen. So kam Silvestra zu ihrem Namen und in unsere Obhut. Die ersten Wochen waren weiterhin dramatisch mit vielen Tierarztbesuchen für die kleine Silvestra, denn leider blieb die konservative Behandlung ohne Erfolg. Aber egal, wie schlecht es Silvestra ging, sie zeigte einen unbändigen Lebenswillen. Mitte Januar wurde eine große Notfall-Bauchoperation durchgeführt, von der sich das zarte Kitten langsam erholte. Silvestra ist noch nicht ganz über den Berg, aber inzwischen ist sie gesundheitlich stabil, frisst ohne Einschränkungen/Sonderkost und holt nun energiegeladen alles nach, was sie in ihren ersten Lebenswochen verpasst hat. Sie erkundet neugierig und verspielt die Krankenpflegestelle in der Katzengruppe und hat einen ersten Wachstumsschub hingelegt. Silvestra ist November 2025 geboren, kastriert und wird nicht als Einzelkatze vermittelt! Wenn Sie Silvestra in ihr weiteres Katzenleben begleiten und ihr ein tolles Zuhause und eine neue Familie geben wollen, freuen wir uns auf Ihre Kontaktaufnahme.

About Silvestra

What life with Silvestra looks like

Silvestra is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. in Ulm.

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 Silvestra, answered.

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