Tarla

Unknown · Young · 2 years

Tarla has a very sad past: she was found severely injured - her collar had gotten stuck behind a front leg and caused a large wound from the neck to the armpit. Unfortunately, as so often happens, the closure did not open... Fortunately, Tarla was caught! With us, Tarla turned out to be a super sweet, affectionate and clingy furry who doesn't like to be alone. She misses human company very much. We are looking for a loving home for Tarla in spacious apartment living (possibly with a netted balcony), preferably with understanding children. Her new family should not be working full-time. We still need to find out if Tarla gets along with other cats. We are also still checking if Tarla has been spayed. She should never have to wear a collar again.

Die liebe Tarla hat ein ganz schlimmes Schicksal hinter sich: Sie wurde schwer verletzt aufgefunden - ihr Halsband hatte sich hinter ein Vorderbein geschoben und eine große Wunde vom Hals bis zur Achsel verursacht. Leider öffnete sich - wie so oft - der Verschluss nicht... Zum Glück ließ Tarla sich einfangen! Bei uns entpuppte sich Tarla als super liebe, verschmuste und anhängliche Samtpfote, die gar nicht gerne alleine sein möchte. Ihr fehlt die menschliche Gesellschaft sehr. Wir suchen für Tarla ein liebevolles Zuhause in geräumiger Wohnungshaltung (ggf. mit eingenetztem Balkon), gerne auch mit verständigen Kindern. Ihre neue Familie soll nicht ganztags berufstätig sein. Ob sich Tarla mit Artgenossen versteht, müssen wir noch heraus finden. Sie muss noch kastriert werden.

About Tarla

What life with Tarla looks like

Tarla is a large young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Bocholt in Bocholt.

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 Tarla, answered.

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