Tess

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 2 years

Tess is a very special female cat who unfortunately has not had an easy life. She was found pregnant on the street and was able to give birth to her three little kittens safely at the animal shelter. Her babies are now about three months old and Tess is no longer with them. Tess was born in September 2024 and is a very wonderful, gentle cat. She is very affectionate, incredibly cuddly and pleasantly calm. 🥰 She enjoys being close to people and is happy about any attention and petting. Now it's time for Tess to be the center of attention and find a home where she will be loved, cared for and pampered. ❤️ Please note: The feedback from the animal shelters and foster homes reflects the current behavior of the cats here.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Tess ist eine ganz besondere Katzendame, die bisher leider kein leichtes Leben hatte. Sie wurde trächtig auf der Straße gefunden und durfte im Tierheim in Sicherheit ihre drei kleinen Kätzchen zur Welt bringen. Ihre Babys sind mittlerweile etwa drei Monate alt und Tess ist nun nicht mehr bei ihnen. Tess wurde im September 2024 geboren und zeigt sich als eine ganz wundervolle, sanfte Katze. Sie ist sehr lieb, unglaublich verschmust und angenehm ruhig. 🥰 Sie genießt die Nähe zu Menschen und freut sich über jede Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheit. Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, dass Tess selbst im Mittelpunkt stehen darf und ein Zuhause findet, in dem sie geliebt, umsorgt und verwöhnt wird. ❤️ Bitte beachten Sie:Die Rückmeldungen der Tierheime und Pflegestellen spiegeln das aktuelle Verhalten der hier zur

About Tess

What life with Tess looks like

Tess is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierischgeholfen 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tess, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tess?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen 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 — Tierischgeholfen 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 Tierischgeholfen 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.
