SISSI

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

Sissi is a sweet, shy cat who lost her home after 14 years. She has always been very cautious when meeting new people, but once she trusts, she loves closeness and likes to cuddle. She is still new to her foster home, but her foster mom can already say that she doesn't like closed doors and always wants to know what's going on. She still lies cautiously under the sofa, but already quite far forward so she can see everything. The photos of her cuddling with a person's legs are from her time with her first family. When Sissi moved in with her family in 2012, the daughter was about 10 years old, so Sissi knows how to live with older children. There was also a dog, but she never really got along with him. We don't know if it was because of her or the family dog, who came into the family after her. She didn't attack him, but just avoided him. We can imagine she could live with a dog again, as long as he leaves her the peace she needs. When Sissi was younger, she had outdoor access. For some time now, she hasn't left the garden and only went outside to get fresh air and sun. Therefore, a secured balcony would be enough for her. She could also go back to secured or safe outdoor access. So far, she has been a single princess and we can't say yet if she could live with other cats. We can only try that when she has gained trust with her foster family and feels safe there. Her last blood tests were great for her age, she only needs her thyroid pill in the morning and evening, which she eats without any problems with a tasty paste. It would be nice if Sissi could find a loving family for her senior years soon.

Standort: in München Geboren: 05/2012 Geschlecht: weiblich Charakter: liebe Katzendame SK..27.09.202627.09.2026Sissi ist ein liebes, schüchternes Katzenmädchen, das nach 14 Jahren sein Zuhause verloren hat. Sie war schon immer sehr vorsichtig beim Kennenlernen von neuen Menschen, aber wenn sie erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst hat, liebt sie die Nähe und kuschelt sich gerne an. Sie ist noch sehr neu auf ihrer Pflegestelle, aber die Pflegemama kann jetzt schon sagen, dass sie keine geschlossenen Türen mag und immer alles mitbekommen möchte. Zwar liegt sie noch vorsichtig unterm Sofa, aber schon ganz weit vorne, damit sie alles mitbekommt. Die Fotos, auf denen sie sich an die Beine eines Menschen kuschelt, sind noch aus der Zeit bei ihrer ersten Familie. Als Sissi 2012 bei ihrer Familie einzog, war die Tochter ungefähr 10 Jahre alt, somit kennt Sissi das Zusammenleben mit älteren Kindern. Es gab auch einen Hund, mit dem sie aber nie richtig warm wurde. Wir wissen nicht, ob es grundsätzlich an ihr lag oder an dem Familienhund, der erst nach ihr in die Familie kam. Sie hat ihn aber nicht angegriffen, sondern ist ihm nur aus dem Weg gegangen. Wir können uns vorstellen, dass sie wieder mit einem Hund zusammenleben könnte, sofern er ihr die Ruhe lässt, die sie braucht. Als Sissi noch jünger war, hatte sie Freigang. Seit einiger Zeit hat sie den Garten nicht mehr verlassen und war nur draußen, um frische Luft und Sonne zu tanken. Daher würde ihr ein gesicherter Balkon ausreichen. Sie dürfte aber auch wieder in einen gesicherten oder sicheren Freigang. Bisher war sie eine Einzelprinzessin und wir können noch nicht sagen, ob sie auch mit anderen Katzen zusammenleben könnte. Das können wir erst ausprobieren, wenn sie zu ihrer Pflegefamilie Vertrauen gefasst hat und sich dort sicher fühlt. Ihre letzten Blutwerte waren für ihr Alter super, sie braucht lediglich morgens und abends ihre Tablette für die Schilddrüse, die sie ganz unproblematisch mit einer Schleckpaste frisst. Es wäre schön, wenn Sissi bald eine liebevolle Familie für ihre Seniorenjahre finden würde.

About SISSI

What life with SISSI looks like

SISSI is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Animal Help Espania in Odelzhausen.

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 SISSI, answered.

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