Tersa

Persian · Female

Unsere Tersa ist mit ihren schätzungsweise 12 Jahren schon eine etwas ältere Katzendame, die nun auf der Suche nach einem ruhigen und liebevollen Zuhause ist, in dem sie ihren Lebensabend verbringen darf. Altersbedingt bringt Tersa ein paar gesundheitliche Baustellen mit, die regelmäßige tierärztliche Kontrollen erfordern. Zudem ist sie auf die tägliche Gabe von Tabletten angewiesen. Auch ist Tersa nahezu blind und benötigt daher etwas mehr Zeit, um sich in einer neuen Umgebung zurechtzufinden. Mit etwas Geduld, Ruhe und einer möglichst gleichbleibenden Umgebung kann sie sich jedoch nach und nach orientieren und Sicherheit gewinnen. Mit anderen Katzen versteht sich Tersa gut und orientiert sich auch gerne an ihnen. Eine bereits vorhandene, ruhige und soziale Katze könnte ihr daher eine große Hilfe sein und ihr zusätzliche Sicherheit geben. Aber auch ein Zuhause als Einzelprinzessin wäre denkbar, sofern ihre Menschen viel Zeit für sie haben, ihr ausreichend Aufmerksamkeit schenken und sie möglichst wenig alleine lassen. Aufgrund ihrer eingeschränkten Sehkraft wird Tersa ausschließlich in Wohnungshaltung vermittelt. Für unsere ältere Dame wünschen wir uns verständnisvolle Menschen, die sich von ihren gesundheitlichen Einschränkungen nicht abschrecken lassen und bereit sind, sich liebevoll um sie zu kümmern. Tersa hat es verdient, ihren Lebensabend in einem geborgenen Zuhause zu verbringen, in dem sie so geliebt wird, wie sie ist.

About Tersa

What life with Tersa looks like

Tersa is a large adult persian cat waiting at Tierheim Holzminden in Holzminden.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tersa, answered.

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