Adopt Smartie

Female · Young · 1 year

The little Smartie came from a farm and unfortunately has hardly met any people so far. After her spaying, she can now settle in and then learn everything step by step. She will need a lot of time and patience to get used to being handled, as she is not familiar with that yet. Therefore, she is looking for a home with cat experience without small children, preferably with a cat from here or to a second existing cat she can orient herself around.

Read original (de)

Die kleine Smartie kam von einem Hof und kennt Menschen leider bisher kaum. Nach ihrer Kastration darf sie jetzt erstmal ankommen und dann Schritt für Schritt alles kennenlernen. Sie wird viel Zeit und Geduld benötigen um sich anfassen zu lassen, denn das kenn sie noch gar nicht. Sie sucht daher ein katzenerfahrendes zuhause ohne kleine Kinder, gerne gemeinsam mit einer Katze von hier oder zu einer vorhandenen 2. Katze an der sie sich orientieren kann.

About Smartie

What life with Smartie looks like

Smartie is a young adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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 Smartie, answered.

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