How do I contact the shelter about Tülay?

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 Tülay on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tülay 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 Tülay 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 Tülay 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 Tülay 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.

Tülay

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Tülay, the Supermom Age: approx. 2024 Sex: female/spayed Compatibility: single cat Housing: outdoor access Health: vaccinated, chipped, negative FiV/FelV tested Adoption fee: €250 Tülay means "moon veil" or "radiant moon." She was given the name by her foster home because she was so delicate and mysterious. She came to the foster home as a feral house cat, quickly gave birth to five kittens there, and took great care of them. At first, it was impossible to get close to her, but that has changed completely. She has developed into an attentive but gentle cat. Tülay needs time to adjust to new people, but once she does, she becomes a loving cat who seeks contact on her own initiative, even though she is very independent. While she doesn't purr much, her foster home says being close to her is an honor for the person. We couldn't determine if she likes or needs fellow cats. She didn't get along well with the male cat at the foster home. But the tri-colored lucky cats are a bit temperamental anyway 🙂We are looking for a home for you as a single princess with outdoor access in a quiet residential area, far from busy streets. She will be spayed and vaccinated soon, after which she can pack her bags and move out. If interested, please fill out the questionnaire for Mrs. Heinrichs. Thank you

Tülay, die Supermama Alter: ca. 2024 Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriertVerträglichkeit: EinzelkatzeHaltung: FreigangGesundheit: geimpft, gechipt, negativ FiV/FelV getestetSchutzgebühr: 250 Euro Tülay bedeutet „Mondschleier“ oder auch „glanzvoller Mond“. Sie hat den Namen von der Pflegestelle bekommen weil sie so zart und geheimnissvoll war. Sie kam als verwilderte Hauskatze auf die Pflegestelle, hat dort rechts schnell 5 Kitten das Leben geschenkt und sich super um sie gekümmert. Anfangs war an sie kein ran kommen, aber das hat sich total geändert. Sie hat sich zu einer achtsamen aber sanften Katze entwickelt.Tülay benötigt Zeit um sich auf neue Menschen einzulassen aber wenn es soweit ist, dann wird sie zu einer lieben Katze die auch von sich aus Kontakt sucht, auch wenn sie sehr eigenständig ist. Groß kuscheln tut sie zwar nicht aber Ihre Pflegestelle sagt, ihre Nähe ist eine Auszeichnung für den Menschen.Ob sie Artgenossen mag oder braucht konnten wir leider nicht feststellen. Mit dem Kater auf der Pflegestelle konnte sie nicht besonders viel anfangen. Aber die dreifarbigen Glückskatzen sind ja eh etwas divenhaft veranlagt 🙂Wir suchen für Sie ein Zuhause als Einzelprinzessin mit Freigang in ruhiger Wohngegend, weit ab viel befahrener Straßen. Sie wird demnächst noch kastriert und geimpft, danach kann sie ihr Köfferchen packen und ausziehen.Bei Interesse füllen Sie den Fragebogen für Frau Heinrichs aus. Vielen Dank

About Tülay

What life with Tülay looks like

Tülay is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund Köln in Köln.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
