How do I contact the shelter about Vainilla?

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

Can I adopt Vainilla if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Aktion Tierisch Happy 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 Vainilla 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 Vainilla 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 Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vainilla 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.

Vainilla

Female · Adult · 5 years

So, are you looking for a loyal companion for life? My name is Vainilla—I’m about 5 years old and an absolutely adorable, sweet-as-sugar cat lady in the prime of my life, ready to steal your heart! I’m a totally uncomplicated, loving, and above all, incredibly cuddly little lady. I love being close to my people and thoroughly enjoy every single petting session. Since I’ve tested positive for FeLV (feline leukemia), I’m seeking a cozy home with exclusively indoor living. This condition is a viral disease that weakens the immune system; while it’s completely harmless to humans or other animal species, it’s unfortunately contagious among cats. Although the disease isn’t curable, I’m currently living a perfectly normal, cheerful life with it—and it hasn’t taken away any of my joy in life at all. I also get along wonderfully with my fellow felines: I’m very social and utterly peaceful. I’d be over the moon to find a new home where loving, FeLV-positive feline friends are already waiting for me! For my perfect happiness, I’m dreaming of a comfortable spot with kind people—where I can feel safe and secure, cuddle to my heart’s content, and just be blissfully happy. Upon arrival, I’ll already be vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, spayed, and have tested negative for FIV. Do you still have a spare spot on your sofa and would love to walk through life together with me?

Na, bist du auf der Suche nach einem treuen Begleiter fürs Leben? Mein Name ist Vainilla, ich bin ca. 5 Jahre alt und eine absolut liebenswerte und zuckersüße Katzenlady im besten Alter, die bereit ist, dein Herz im Sturm zu erobern! Ich bin eine rundum unkomplizierte, liebe und vor allem sehr verschmuste Maus. Ich liebe die Nähe zu meinen Menschen und genieße jede Streicheleinheit in vollen Zügen. Da ich positiv auf FeLV (Leukose) getestet wurde, suche ich ein gemütliches Plätzchen in reiner Wohnungshaltung. Bei dieser Erkrankung handelt es sich um eine Viruserkrankung, die das Immunsystem schwächt und für Menschen oder andere Tierarten absolut unbedenklich, für andere Katzen jedoch leider ansteckend ist. Die Krankheit ist zwar nicht heilbar, aber ich lebe aktuell völlig normal und munter damit und lasse mir meine Lebensfreude dadurch überhaupt nicht nehmen. Auch mit meinen Artgenossen bin ich ein Herz und eine Seele: Ich bin sehr sozial und absolut friedlich. Über ein neues Zuhause, in dem bereits liebe, ebenfalls FeLV-positive Katzenkumpels auf mich warten, würde ich mich daher tierisch freuen! Für mein perfektes Glück wünsche ich mir ein behagliches Plätzchen bei lieben Menschen, an dem ich geborgen ankommen, ganz viel kuscheln und einfach glücklich sein darf. Bei Einreise bin ich bereits geimpft, entwurmt und gechipt sowie kastriert und wurde negativ auf FiV getestet. Hast du noch ein Plätzchen auf dem Sofa frei und möchtest gemeinsam mit mir durchs Leben gehen?
