Adopt Stella

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Stella – the shy mummy with a big heart. Stella is our cautious, sensitive soul. She came to us from an uncontrolled breeding. When she was taken from the apartment, she already had her babies with her – an experience that has shaped her. She is very reserved, but slowly warms up, comes out of her room more often and approaches people curiously. – A quiet cat who will thaw with patience. Love, patience, understanding – and people who show her that life can also be calm, safe, and beautiful. – She has raised her kittens wonderfully. Now she deserves a home where she finally is the center of attention. 📞 Contact: born 1.3.

Stella – die schüchterne Mimose mit einem großem Herzen. Stella ist unsere vorsichtige, sensible Seele. Sie kam aus einer unkontrollierten Vermehrung zu uns. Als sie aus der Wohnung geholt wurde, hatte sie ihre Babys bereits bei sich – ein Erlebnis, das sie geprägt hat. Sie ist sehr zurückhaltend, taut aber langsam auf, kommt immer öfter aus ihrem Zimmer und nähert sich den Menschen neugierig. – Eine leise Katze, die mit Geduld auftaut wird. Liebe, Geduld, Verständnis – und Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass das Leben auch ruhig, sicher und schön sein kann. – Sie hat ihre Kitten großartig großgezogen. Jetzt verdient sie ein Zuhause, in dem endlich sie im Mittelpunkt steht. 📞 Kontakt: geb. 1.3.2023, kastriert

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 Stella, answered.

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