How do I contact the shelter about Suki?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ettlingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Suki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Suki if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ettlingen 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 Suki 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 Suki 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 Tierheim Ettlingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Suki 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.

Adopt Suki

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Suki was born around April 2024 and came to us from another animal shelter with four other cats. She enchants everyone who meets her with her calm and gentle nature. At first, she is rather shy, but once she has gained trust, she transforms into a real lap cat who loves to be petted and enjoys close contact. Unfortunately, like the others in her group, she is chronically ill with cat flu, which unfortunately flares up again and again in the stressful shelter environment. However, she patiently and incredibly lovingly endures any treatment. In a home with less stress, the symptoms are likely to improve significantly. As she is exceptionally social and actively seeks the company of other cats, she would like to move out with one of the kittens from her room. For Suki, we are looking for a loving home suitable for apartment living due to her illness, and a secure balcony would certainly be nice but is not a must. General inquiry for interested parties:

Suki wurde circa im April 2024 geboren und kam über ein anderes Tierheim zu uns mit vier weiteren Katzen. Sie verzaubert alle, die sie kennenlernen, mit ihrem ruhigen und sanften Wesen. Anfangs zeigt sie sich eher schüchtern, doch sobald sie Vertrauen gefasst hat, verwandelt sie sich in eine echte Schmusekatze, die es liebt, gestreichelt zu werden und Nähe zu genießen. Leider ist sie wie die anderen aus ihrer Gruppe an chronischem Katzenschnupfen erkrankt, was sich im stressigen Tierheimalltag leider immer wieder in akuten Ausbrüchen zeigt. Sie lässt jedoch jede Behandlung geduldig und unglaublich lieb über sich ergehen. In einem eigenen Zuhause mit weniger Stress werden die Symptome vermutlich deutlich zurückgehen. Da sie ausgesprochen sozial ist und aktiv die Nähe anderer Katzen sucht, möchte sie unbedingt gemeinsam mit einem der Kitten aus ihrem Zimmer ausziehen. Für Suki suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung aufgrund ihrer Erkrankung, ein gesicherter Balkon ist dabei sicherlich schön, aber kein Muss. Allgemeine Interessentenanfrage:

About Suki

What life with Suki looks like

Suki is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ettlingen in Ettlingen.

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.
