Suri

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

„Suri“ hat in ihrer Zeit bei uns bereits tolle Fortschritte gemacht und ist längst nicht mehr so schüchtern wie zu Beginn. Zwar begegnet sie unbekannten Menschen weiterhin erst einmal vorsichtig, doch bei vertrauten Personen zeigt sie inzwischen eine ganz andere Seite. Dann lässt sie sich gerne streicheln und genießt die Zuwendung sichtlich.Für ihr neues Zuhause wünschen wir uns katzenerfahrene und geduldige Menschen, die „Suri“ weiterhin die Zeit geben, die sie braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen und in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Wer nichts von ihr erwartet und ihr Sicherheit vermittelt, wird sicherlich erleben dürfen, wie sie immer weiter auftaut.Mit anderen Katzen versteht sich „Suri“ sehr gut und ihre Gesellschaft gibt ihr zusätzliche Sicherheit. Deshalb wird sie nur zu einer bereits vorhandenen, sozialen Katze oder einem sozialen Kater vermittelt, an dem sie sich orientieren kann. Gerne darf sie auch gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester „Soraya“ in ein neues Zuhause ziehen – dies ist jedoch kein Muss.Für „Suri“ kommt sowohl ein Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon als auch ein Zuhause mit der Möglichkeit zum späteren Freigang infrage. Bei Freigang sollte die Wohngegend entsprechend ruhig und verkehrsarm sein und dieser natürlich erst nach einer ausreichend langen Eingewöhnungszeit ermöglicht werden.Da „Suri“ ein ruhiges und beständiges Umfeld braucht, sollten keine Kinder in ihrem neuen Zuhause leben.

About Suri

What life with Suri looks like

Suri is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof 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 Suri, answered.

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