Adopt Tilla

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

In Oberdrees, a pregnant cat was found on the street – confident, people-oriented, and full of energy. Just one day before giving birth, she was still jumping up to door handles to open them. Shortly after, she gave birth to four kittens: on July 27, 2025, Alfons (white), Fiete (tabby), Pelle (red), and Madita (red without folded ears, the only girl) were born. Their mother is a purebred Scottish Fold, about three years old. She is spayed, has been healthy so far, and is very active. An incredibly open cat who shows no fear of humans and asserts her will in a charming way. The kittens are Scottish Fold mixes. This means that while they may appear simply adorable at first glance, this breeding type unfortunately comes with health risks. The folded ears, which three out of the four kittens have (only Madita has normal ears), result from a genetic defect that also affects the cartilage and bones in the body. This can lead to painful joint problems over time. Therefore, we would like to explicitly point out here: anyone who gives one of these kittens a home should be aware of this special responsibility and be prepared to closely monitor their development. We are looking for responsible people to give Tilla a loving home. For all of them, a future as indoor-outdoor cats would be wonderful. Just write to us. As soon as we receive your message, we will get back to you as quickly as possible. Please allow us one to two days for a response. This cat needs outdoor access.

In Oberdrees wurde eine hochtragende Katze auf der Straße aufgegriffen – selbstbewusst, menschenbezogen und voller Energie. Nur einen Tag vor der Geburt sprang sie noch locker auf Türklinken, um diese zu öffnen. Wenig später brachte sie vier Kitten zur Welt: am 27.07.2025 erblickten Alfons (weiß), Fiete (getigert), Pelle (rot) und Madita (rot ohne Knickohren, als einziges Mädchen) das Licht der Welt. Ihre Mama ist eine reinrassige Scottish Fold, etwa drei Jahre alt. Sie ist kastriert und bisher gesund sowie sehr aktiv. Eine unglaublich offene Katze, die keinerlei Scheu vor Menschen hat und ihren eigenen Kopf auf charmante Art durchsetzt. Die Kitten sind Scottish-Fold-Mixe. Das bedeutet: Auch wenn sie auf den ersten Blick einfach nur niedlich wirken, bringt diese Zuchtform leider gesundheitliche Risiken mit sich. Die Knickohren, die drei der vier Kitten tragen (nur Madita hat normale Ohren), entstehen durch einen Gendefekt, der auch die Knorpel und Knochen im Körper betrifft. Dies kann im Laufe des Lebens zu schmerzhaften Gelenkproblemen führen. Deshalb möchten wir an dieser Stelle ganz bewusst darauf hinweisen: Wer einem dieser Kitten ein Zuhause schenkt, sollte sich dieser besonderen Verantwortung bewusst sein und bereit sein, ihre Entwicklung genau im Blick zu behalten. Wir suchen für Tilla verantwortungsvolle Menschen, die ihnr ein liebevolles Zuhause bieten. Für alle gilt: späterer Freigang wäre wunderbar. Schreiben Sie uns einfach.Sobald wir Ihre Nachricht erhalten haben, werden wir uns so schnell wie möglich bei Ihnen melden.Bitte haben Sie Verständnis dafür, dass wir uns nicht immer umgehend melden können.Bitte geben Sie uns ein bis zwei Tage Zeit für eine Rückmeldung.

About Tilla

What life with Tilla looks like

Tilla is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutz Euskirchen 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 Tilla, answered.

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