Adopt Starscream

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 8 years

Age: approximately 6-8 years Desired Housing: apartment with outdoor access The black cat Starscream is a special roommate with character. She is a loving and friendly cat who enjoys the company of humans, but only on her own terms. She welcomes cuddles, but is honest about when she has had enough. This makes her a cat with personality. Originally, Starscream was discovered at a cat hotspot and stood out because she was more outgoing than the others. Starscream is not a pushy snuggle cat, but an independent companion who values her space. Those who give her this space will get a pleasant, quiet roommate who accompanies her person in her own charming way. Starscream generally gets along with other cats, but does not necessarily need them. What is most important to her, however, is the possibility of getting outdoor access again. Being out and exploring the world is simply part of who she is. For Starscream, we are looking for a home with people who appreciate cats with character and give her the space she needs. Due to her independent nature, she is not suitable for small children. Best placed with a resident cat (second-cat home).

Alter: circa 6-8 Jahre Gesuchte Haltungsform: Wohnung mit Freigang Die schwarze Katze Starscream ist eine besondere Mitbewohnerin mit Charakter. Sie ist eine liebe und freundliche Katze, die die Nähe zum Menschen durchaus genießt, allerdings zu ihren eigenen Bedingungen. Streicheleinheiten nimmt sie gerne an, zeigt aber auch ehrlich, wenn es ihr reicht. Genau das macht sie zu einer Katze mit Persönlichkeit. Ursprünglich wurde Starscream an einem Katzen-Hotspot entdeckt und fiel dadurch auf, dass sie doch zutraulicher war als die anderen. Starscream ist keine aufdringliche Schmusekatze, sondern eine unabhängige Begleiterin, die ihren Freiraum schätzt. Wer ihr diesen lässt, bekommt eine angenehme, ruhige Mitbewohnerin, die ihren Menschen auf ihre eigene, charmante Art begleitet. Mit anderen Katzen kommt Starscream grundsätzlich zurecht, benötigt diese jedoch nicht zwingend. Noch wichtiger für sie ist jedoch die Möglichkeit, später wieder Freigang zu bekommen. Draußen unterwegs zu sein und die Welt zu erkunden gehört für sie einfach dazu. Für Starscream suchen wir daher ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die Katzen mit Charakter zu schätzen wissen und ihr den Raum geben, den sie braucht. Aufgrund ihrer selbstständigen Art ist sie nicht für kleine Kinder geeignet. Katzenhaus Oberwürzbach

About Starscream

What life with Starscream looks like

Starscream is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. in St. Ingbert.

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 Starscream, answered.

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