Tina

Mixed Breed · Female

Tina came to us together with her sister Tiffy. So far she has not been able to build real trust in people. With her familiar caregivers she now occasionally shows herself and lets herself be seen. Direct closeness and touch, however, are still unfamiliar and unsettling for her. For Tina we are looking for a calm home with people who have a great deal of patience and who will give her the time she needs to settle in at her own pace. There should be understanding that it may take her a long time to gain trust, and that she may never become a cat who actively seeks out human closeness. Alternatively, we can also picture Tina well as a farm or barn cat, where she can continue to enjoy her freedom and live in a suitable environment. It would be especially lovely if Tina could move in together with her sister Tiffy. A

DE·Show original

Tina kam gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Tiffy zu uns. Bisher konnte sie noch kein richtiges Vertrauen zum Menschen aufbauen. Bei ihren vertrauten Pflegern zeigt sie sich inzwischen gelegentlich und lässt sich blicken. Direkte Nähe und Berührungen sind ihr jedoch noch nicht geheuer. Für Tina suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die viel Geduld mitbringen und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht, um in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Es sollte Verständnis dafür vorhanden sein, dass sie möglicherweise lange brauchen wird, um Vertrauen zu fassen, und vielleicht nie eine Katze wird, die aktiv die Nähe zum Menschen sucht. Alternativ können wir uns Tina auch gut als Hof- oder Stallkatze vorstellen, wo sie weiterhin ihre Freiheit genießen und in einer geeigneten Umgebung leben kann. Besonders schön wäre es, wenn Tina gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Tiffy umziehen dürfte. Eine

About Tina

What life with Tina looks like

Tina is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) in Aurich.

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 Tina, answered.

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