Trine

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Trine's story began in a cat colony in Mechernich, where dedicated animal lovers patiently cared for the resident cats. When Trine appeared pregnant and proved to be surprisingly affectionate, a place was urgently sought where she could give birth and raise her kittens in peace. Of course, the expectant mother moved in with us and found a cozy nest for her little family at a loving foster home. But Trine didn't just care for her own babies: she also took in an orphaned kitten and raised all the kittens with care. Now the little ones are old enough to go their own way, and Trine can finally think of herself. Trine is initially reserved with people. But once she has gained trust, a real little cuddle mouse emerges, who enjoys petting very much. When she moves to her new home, Trine will naturally be spayed. We wish Trine a loving home where she can arrive in peace and find people who give her the time to build trust. Who will show this caring cat mom how nice it is to be pampered? By the way: Trine has a twin sister! Stine looks uncannily like Trine and has exactly the same story. She was also pregnant, was allowed to give birth to her babies at a loving foster home, and took in an orphaned kitten. Originally, the two sisters were supposed to raise their kittens together. However, living with the small families proved too stressful, so Trine and Stine moved to separate foster homes. There, both could raise their babies in peace. Stine is now ready for a home of her own and is waiting for her people. Just write to us. As soon as we receive your message, we will contact you as soon as possible. Please understand that we can't always respond immediately. Please give us one to two days for a response.

Trines Geschichte begann in einer Katzenkolonie in Mechernich, wo sich engagierte Tierschützerinnen mit viel Geduld um die dort lebenden Katzen kümmern. Als Trine hochträchtig auftauchte und sich dabei als erstaunlich zutraulich erwies, wurde dringend ein Platz gesucht, an dem sie ihre Babys in Ruhe zur Welt bringen und aufziehen konnte. Natürlich durfte die werdende Mama bei uns einziehen und fand anschließend auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle ein gemütliches Nest für ihre kleine Familie. Doch Trine kümmerte sich nicht nur um ihre eigenen Babys: Sie nahm auch noch ein Waisenkätzchen bei sich auf und zog alle Kitten fürsorglich groß. Nun sind die Kleinen groß genug, um ihre eigenen Wege zu gehen, und Trine darf endlich an sich selbst denken. Menschen gegenüber ist Trine zunächst eher zurückhaltend. Hat sie aber erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, kommt eine richtige kleine Kuschelmaus zum Vorschein, die Streicheleinheiten sehr genießt. Bei ihrem Umzug ins neue Zuhause wird Trine selbstverständlich kastriert sein. Für Trine wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie in Ruhe ankommen darf und Menschen findet, die ihr die Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen. Wer zeigt dieser fürsorglichen Katzenmama, wie schön es ist, selbst verwöhnt zu werden? Übrigens: Trine hat eine Zwillingsschwester! Stine sieht Trine zum Verwechseln ähnlich und hat genau die gleiche Geschichte. Auch sie war hochträchtig, durfte ihre Babys auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle zur Welt bringen und nahm zusätzlich ein Waisenkätzchen bei sich auf. Ursprünglich sollten die beiden Schwestern ihre Kitten gemeinsam großziehen. Allerdings stellte sich das Zusammenleben mit den kleinen Familien als zu stressig heraus, sodass Trine und Stine auf getrennte Pflegestellen umzogen. Dort konnten beide in Ruhe ihre Babys aufziehen. Auch Stine ist inzwischen bereit für ein eigenes Zuhause und wartet noch auf ihre Menschen.

About Trine

What life with Trine looks like

Trine is a large young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Trine, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Trine?
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 Trine on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Trine 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Trine 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 Trine 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 Trine 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.
