How do I contact the shelter about Tess?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Helfende Hände e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tess on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tess if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Helfende Hände 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 Tess 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 Tess 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 Helfende Hände e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tess 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.

Tess

European Shorthair · Female

Tess ID No.: 143524 Breed: EKH Age: 09/2022 Gender: female Housing: indoor/outdoor cat Neutered/Spayed: Yes Location: Marbella (Spain) Inquiry form This is the little sweet lucky cat Tess! This tiny mouse was found on the street. Her ear tip shows that she was neutered and released back onto the streets. However, because she is so people-oriented, they couldn’t leave her there, and so she came to the Triple A animal shelter, where she’s now waiting for her wonderful new home! As already mentioned, Tess is very affectionate and loves getting attention. Since she also enjoys playing according to her age and gets along very well with other cats, she absolutely needs another cat of similar age—either a female or tomcat—in her new home. Who will give this sweet little mouse her forever home? She is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Vaccinations: yes Disability: no Plus €85.00 transport fee Contact person Andrea Mürner Tel: Email:

Tess ID-Nr: 143524 Rasse: EKH Alter: 09/2022 Geschlecht: weiblich Haltung: Wohnung/Freigänger Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Das ist die kleine süße Glückskatze Tess! Die kleine Maus wurde auf der Straße gefunden. Ihr Ohr-Cut zeigt, dass sie kastriert wurde und wieder auf die Straße entlassen wurde. Da sie aber so menschenbezogen ist, konnte man sie dort nicht lassen und so kam sie ins Tierheim Triple A, wo sie jetzt auf ihr schönes neues Zuhause wartet! Wie bereits erwähnt, Tess ist sehr menschenbezogen und liebt es Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen. Da sie ihrem Alter entsprechend auch gerne spielt und sie auch prima mit anderen Katzen klar kommt, braucht sie auf jeden Fall eine weitere gleichaltrige Katze/Kater in ihrem neuen Zuhause. Wer gibt der süßen Maus ein Für-Immer-Zuhause? Sie ist geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und negativ auf FIV und FELV getestet. Impfungen Ja Handicap nein Schutzgebühr 200,00€ zzgl. 85,00€ Transportgebühr Ansprechpartner Andrea Mürner Tel: Email: Anfrageformular

About Tess

What life with Tess looks like

Tess is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Helfende Hände e.V. 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.
