TANYA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Location: in Haar bei München Born: 24.07.2025 Gender: female Personality: pretty tri-colored catVideo impressions of TANYA: AB..18.04.2026NOT IN SINGLE HOLDING!18.04.2026I am TANYA and have only been in my foster family for a short while. My life so far has been really colorful and varied, but that’s not really my thing. When I was very small, I lived in a cat colony and we had to somehow provide for ourselves. It was really hard for me because I was afraid of the bigger cats who often chased me away from the feeding stations. They were scary to me and I didn’t dare to fight back. But then I discovered a house where a family lived without cats, but with some dogs. When I was chased again outside, I ran into the house and hid in the bathroom. The family didn’t throw me out but gave me food and let me live there. For the first two weeks, I only stayed in the bathroom and didn’t dare to come out. After two weeks, it got boring and I mustered the courage to meet the dogs. From then on, I was allowed to live normally in the family. Unfortunately, this didn’t last long because the family had to move out and gave me to my current foster home. That was a shock. Here, there are again other cats that I’m afraid of, even though they don’t harm me. And to top it off, the vet pulled five of my teeth! My foster mom thinks I’m young enough to learn that there are also loving other cats. That’s why I’m looking for a home with a super gentle other cat that I can befriend. And a home where I can stay forever and be loved just as I am, even though I need a lot of time to trust you. A cat-safe netted balcony or a secure outdoor area would be great.

Standort: in Haar bei München Geboren: 24.07.2025 Geschlecht: weiblich Charakter: hübsche dreifarbige KatzeVideo-Eindrücke von Tanya: AB..18.04.2026NICHT IN EINZELHALTUNG!18.04.2026Ich bin Tanya und bin noch gar nicht so lange in meiner Pflegefamilie. Mein Leben war bisher wirklich sehr bunt und abwechslungsreich, aber das ist eigentlich gar nicht so mein Ding. Als ich noch ganz klein war, lebte ich in einer Katzenkolonie und wir mussten uns irgendwie selber versorgen. Das fiel mir unheimlich schwer, denn ich hatte Angst vor den größeren Katzen, die mich oft von den Futterstellen verjagt haben. Irgendwie waren sie mir unheimlich und ich habe mich nicht getraut, mich zu wehren. Doch dann habe ich ein Haus entdeckt, in dem eine Familie wohnte, die keine Katzen hatte. Dort lebten aber einige Hunde. Als ich wieder mal draußen voll gejagt wurde, bin ich in das Haus gelaufen und habe mich im Bad versteckt. Die Familie hat mich nicht rausgeschmissen, sondern mir Futter hingestellt und mich dort leben lassen. Die ersten zwei Wochen war ich nur im Bad und habe mich nicht rausgetraut. Nach zwei Wochen wurde es dann doch langweilig und ich habe mich überwunden und die Hunde kennengelernt. Von da an durfte ich ganz normal in der Familie mit leben. Leider dauerte diese Zeit nicht besonders lang, denn die Familie musste aus dem Haus ausziehen und hat mich auf meine jetzige Pflegestelle weitergegeben. Das war erstmal ein Schock. Hier leben auch wieder andere Katzen, vor denen ich Angst habe, obwohl sie mir gar nichts tun. Und obendrein hat mir der Tierarzt noch 5 Zähne gezogen! Meine Pflegemama meint, ich wäre jung genug um zu lernen, dass es auch liebe andere Katzen gibt. Deshalb suche ich ein Zuhause mit einer gaaaaanz sanften anderen Katze, mit der ich mich anfreunden darf. Und ein Zuhause, in dem ich für immer bleiben darf und man mich so liebt wie ich bin, auch wenn ich viel Zeit brauche, um euch zu vertrauen. Ein vernetzter Balkon oder ein sicherer Freigang wäre toll.

About TANYA

What life with TANYA looks like

TANYA is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Animal Help Espania in Odelzhausen.

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 TANYA, answered.

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