Sizzle

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

In the middle of the night, Sizzle – a small, delicate tortoiseshell kitten – was discovered in a tree. Frightened, hungry, and all alone, she clung to a branch while several large tomcats lurked below. There was no sign of her mother. After some time and with a great deal of patience, our animal welfare volunteer Zoey was able to rescue her and bring her to safety. Sizzle now lives in a loving foster home, where she is slowly learning to trust. She is a playful, curious kitten full of energy, though at first she is somewhat shy. Sizzle is looking for a loving home with people who have the patience to win her trust. She needs to be kept safely indoors and can get along well with friendly animal housemates. Possible at cost price: 180 euros (including transport box). Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

Mitten in der Nacht wurde Sizzle – ein kleines, zartes Schildpatt-Mädchen – auf einem Baum entdeckt. Verängstigt, hungrig und ganz allein klammerte sie sich an einen Ast, während unter ihr mehrere große Kater lauerten. Von ihrer Mutter fehlte jede Spur. Nach einiger Zeit und mit viel Geduld konnte unsere Tierschützerin Zoey sie retten und in Sicherheit bringen. Jetzt lebt Sizzle in einer liebevollen Pflegestelle, wo sie langsam Vertrauen fasst. Sie ist ein verspieltes, neugieriges Kätzchen mit viel Energie, das aber anfangs etwas schüchtern ist. Sizzle sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die Geduld haben, um ihr Vertrauen zu gewinnen. Sie braucht eine sichere Wohnungshaltung und kann gut mit freundlichen tierischen Mitbewohnern leben. möglich zum Selbstkostenpreis 180 Euro (inklusive Transportbox) Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

About Sizzle

What life with Sizzle looks like

Sizzle is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. in Hamburg.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sizzle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sizzle?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sizzle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sizzle if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sizzle 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 Sizzle 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 Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sizzle 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.
