Tara ♀

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Tara is about 1.5 years old and comes from the same location as Tally. She has had kittens, whom we were also able to catch. The little ones are already relatively big but very thin, so they still need to be hand-fed. Tara is much more shy than Tally and doesn't yet fully trust us humans. Meanwhile, she does come when you place her food bowl down for her—but then she immediately starts hissing, because the proximity becomes too much for her. A bit more patience is still needed here. We’d like to find Tara a home either together with her friend Tally or with an already existing cat. It would also be important that her new home allows for outdoor access at a later date. Tara is spayed, tattooed, and microchipped.

DE·Show original

Tara ist ca. 1,5 Jahre alt und kommt vom gleichen Platz wie Tally. Sie hatte Babies, die wir ebenfalls einfangen konnten. Die Kleinen sind schon relativ groß, aber sehr dünn, so dass sie noch gepäppelt werden müssen. Tara ist viel schüchterner als Tally und hat noch nicht so recht Vertrauen in uns Menschen. Mittlerweile kommt sie, wenn man ihr den Futternapf hinstellt, aber dann muss sie auch gleich fauchen, da ihr das dann zu dicht ist. Hier ist noch ein wenig Geduld erforderlich. Wir möchten Tara gerne zusammen mit ihrer Kumpelin Tally oder zu einer bereits vorhandenen Katze vermitteln. Auch die Möglichkeit zum späteren Freigang in ihrem neuen Zuhause sollte gegeben sein. Tara ist kastriert, tätowiert und gechipt.

About Tara ♀

What life with Tara ♀ looks like

Tara ♀ is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Büdingen e.V. in Ortenberg.

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 Tara ♀, answered.

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