Sipsey

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

„Sipsey“ ist eine sehr liebenswerte, freundliche, treue & smarte Katzendame. Sie braucht ihre Zeit für die Eingewöhnung da Sie in einer neuen Umgebung sehr schüchtern und zurückhaltend ist. Es werden ruhige und ausgeglichene Katzenkenner gesucht, die „Sipsey“ die Zeit geben, welche sie braucht. Wenn Sie Ihre Scheu überwunden hat, Ihren Menschen und die Abläufe kennt, ist Sie jedoch Weltmeisterin im Schnurren und Köpfchengeben, total verspielt und sehr aufmerksam. Mit zwei Katzen und einem Hund aufgewachsen, wurde dort von den beiden Katzen ausgegrenzt und gemobbt, weswegen sie nun auf einer Pflegestelle ist. Sie vermisst den Kontakt mit anderen Katzen und möchte so gerne einfach nur dazu gehören, weswegen wir nun für sie ein neues Zuhause suchen, in dem schon eine vorhandene soziale Katze lebt, die „Sipsey“ die schönen Seiten von Katzengesellschaft zeigt. Hunde, die es kennen mit Katzen zusammen zu leben, sind für „Sipsey“ auch kein Problem. Wir suchen für sie ein Zuhause, in dem ihr die Zeit gegeben wird, die sie benötigt, um Vertrauen aufzubauen und anfangs nicht zu viel von ihr verlangen. Sie wird nur in reine Wohnungshaltung mit abgesichertem Balkon, abgesicherter Terrasse oder abgesichertem Hof vermittelt.

About Sipsey

What life with Sipsey looks like

Sipsey is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof 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 Sipsey, answered.

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