How do I contact the shelter about Tessie?

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

Can I adopt Tessie if I live in another country?

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

Adopt Tessie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Location: Romania, Orastie Gender: female, neutered Born: ca. 2024 Personality: very social towards fellow animals, no solitary confinement! Very open to humans and enjoys being stroked. Disability: none Meow meow, I am Tessie! Don't I have a beautiful fur color? They say cats like me, with moons in my fur, are black cats with moonlight in their fur. I find that sounds magical. I am a loving cat who values the company of both cats and humans. Although I have been disappointed by humans before. Because I had a home once, but it wasn't a good one. When my "owners" moved to another city, they simply left me behind. I waited for days, hoping they would return, but unfortunately, they did not. Fortunately, an animal rescuer heard about me and took me in, here I wait to find a real home, a home where I will be taken care of forever. In return, I have a lot of love to give! I get along very well with the other cats at my foster home, I am social, and that's why I do not want to be in solitary confinement. If you don't have a suitable cat yet, just ask my fosterer who would be the best match for me and who I can travel with to you. I have already received my first vaccinations against cat flu, am neutered, and if I travel to you, I will also receive a microchip, a rabies vaccination, and an EU pet passport. See you soon!. This animal is microchipped.

Standort: Rumänien, Orastie Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geboren: ca. 2024 Charakter: sehr sozial Artgenossen gegenüber, keine Einzelhaltung! Dem Menschen gegenüber sehr aufgeschlossen und lässt sich gern streicheln. Handicap: keins Miau miau, ich bin Tessie! Habe ich nicht eine schöne Fellfarbe? Man sagt solche Schildpatt-Katzen wie ich seien schwarze Katzen mit Mondschein im Fell. Ich finde das klingt magisch. Ich bin eine liebe Katze, die die Gesellschaft von Katzen und Menschen sehr schätzt. Obwohl ich schon mal vom Menschen sehr enttäuscht wurde. Denn ich hatte mal ein Zuhause, aber kein gutes. Als meine „Besitzer“ in eine andere Stadt gezogen sind, haben sie mich einfach zurückgelassen. Ich habe tagelang gewartet, in der Hoffnung, dass sie wieder kommen, aber leider war dem nicht so. Zum Glück hörte eine Tierschützerin von mir und nahm mich bei sich auf, hier warte ich nun darauf, dass ich ein richtige Zuhause finde, ein Zuhause in dem man für mich für immer sorgt. Als Gegenleistung habe ich ganz viel Liebe zu geben! Ich verstehe mich mit den anderen Katzen auf meiner Pflegestelle sehr gut, bin sozial und deshalb möchte ich keinesfalls in Einzelhaltung. Sollte bei dir noch keine passende Katze wohnen, dann frag einfach meine Vermittlerin, wer am besten zu mir passt und mit dem ich dann gemeinsam zu dir reisen kann. Ich habe schon meine Erstimpfungen gegen Katzenschnupfen, -seuche erhalten, bin kastriert und wenn ich zu dir reise werde ich auch einen Mikrochip, eine Tollwutimpfung und einen EU-Heimtierausweis erhalten. Bis bald! Deine Tessie

About Tessie

What life with Tessie looks like

Tessie is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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.
