How do I contact the shelter about Trixie?

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

Can I adopt Trixie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzbund Köln 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 Trixie 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 Trixie 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 Katzenschutzbund Köln early rather than rehoming privately; they know Trixie 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.

Trixie

Mixed Breed · Female

Age: 11 years Gender: female / neutered compatibility with others: solitary animal husbandry: apartment with balcony health: vaccinated (cold/flu), microchipped, tested negative for FIV/FelV EuroAfter Trixie's owner passed away, she was set out on the street and left to the neighborhood. They then contacted us, and so she found her way to our foster home, which is completely in love with her. Trixie is a beautiful cat with the most stunning X-paws. When she wants something, she demands it loudly. She already reacts to changes through tidiness issues. Now that we know her better, we know that she wants everything just as she is used to it. She can be very picky about her food. She doesn't like tuna or liverwurst. All doors should always be open. She wants to sleep in the bed with her human. Her favorite mental stimulation is lying on the lap of her foster dad and dozing off. The vet said that she currently has nothing to complain about. We are looking for a home for her as a solitary princess, with older guardians who have a lot of space and can offer her the desired service regarding consistent routines. A secure balcony is a must, but a free roam in a quiet neighborhood would also be okay. This cat needs outdoor access.

Alter: 11 Jahre Geschlecht: weiblich / kastriert Verträglichkeit: Einzeltier Haltung: Wohnung mit Balkon Gesundheit: geimpft (Schnupfen/Seuche), gechippt, neg. FiV/FelV getestet Schutzgebühr: 230 EuroNachdem Trixies Besitzerin verstorben ist hat man sie auf die Straße gesetzt und der Nachbarschaft überlassen. Diese kontaktierte dann uns und so fand sie ihren Weg auf unsere Pflegestelle, die ganz verliebt in sie ist. Trixie ist eine hübsche Katze mit den allerschönsten X-Beinchen. Wenn sie etwas möchte, dann fordert sie dies lautstark ein. Auf Veränderungen reagiert sie auch schon mal durch Unsauberkeit. Da wir sie jetzt aber besser kennen lernen durften, wissen wir, dass sie alles so haben möchte, wie sie es gewöhnt ist. Beim Futter kann sie sehr wählerich sein. Sie mag keinen Thunfisch und keine Leberwurst. Türen sollten immer alle offen sein. Schlafen will sie mit im Bett. Am liebsten auf ihrem eigenen Kopfkissen, zwischen ihren Menschen. Sie hat Zeiten, in denen sie immer bei ihm sein will. Sie verfolgt ihn dann in jeden Raum. Ihre liebste Beschäftigung ist es aber auf dem Schoß des Pflegepapas zu liegen und zu dösen. Die Ärztin hat gesagt, dass sie momentan nichts zu bemängeln habe. Wir suchen für Sie ein Zuhause als Einzelprinzessin, bei älteren Herrschaften, die viel Zuhause sind und ihr den gewünschten Service bzgl gleichbleibender Gewohnheiten bieten möchten. Ein abgesicherter Balkon ist ein Muss, Freigang in ruhiger Wohngegend wäre aber auch ok. Bei Interesse füllen Sie bitte diesen Fragebogen für Frau Heinrichs aus, vielen Dank

About Trixie

What life with Trixie looks like

Trixie is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund Köln in Köln.

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.
