How do I contact the shelter about Tina?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Karlsruhe 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 — Katzenhilfe Karlsruhe 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 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 Katzenhilfe Karlsruhe 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Adopt Tina

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 10 years

The lovely Tina is 10 years old and has lost her home due to a death in the family. Currently, she is able to reside on one of our loving foster placements – but what she most desires is to finally come home and find her own permanent place. Tina is looking for a quiet apartment with a balcony, suitable for someone living alone or a calm couple without children. She needs some time to build trust and does not particularly enjoy being picked up. However, once she feels settled, she shows her loving side: she enjoys snuggling on the couch or on someone's lap and would like to be part of the family as much as possible. She does not like being touched all over, but is otherwise a gentle and faithful companion. Tina requires special diabetes food. For those who still want to give the dear senior a warm and safe home, she can be visited at her foster home in Karlsruhe-Durlach. 📞 Contact:. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Update 😻 Tina ist reserviert Die hübsche Tina ist 10 Jahre alt und hat ihr Zuhause aufgrund eines Todesfalles verloren. Zurzeit darf sie auf einer unserer liebevollen Pflegestellen wohnen – doch was sie sich am meisten wünscht, ist endlich wieder anzukommen und ein eigenes Zuhause zu finden. ️ Tina sucht ein ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit Balkon, gerne bei einer Einzelperson oder einem ruhigen Paar ohne Kinder. Sie braucht anfangs etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen, und mag es nicht besonders, hochgenommen zu werden. Doch wenn sie sich eingelebt hat, zeigt sie ihre liebevolle Seite: Dann kommt sie gerne zum Schmusen auf die Couch oder auf den Schoß und möchte am liebsten immer mit dabei sein. Sie mag es nicht, überall angefasst zu werden, ist aber ansonsten eine sanfte und treue Begleiterin. Tina benötigt spezielles Diabetesfutter. Wer der lieben Seniorin noch einmal ein warmes, sicheres Zuhause schenken möchte, darf sie gerne auf ihrer Pflegestelle in Karlsruhe-Durlach besuchen. 📞 Kontakt: Wera Schmitz 0170 – 4672883

About Tina

What life with Tina looks like

Tina is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Karlsruhe e.V. in Karlsruhe.

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.
