Valentina

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

over: 🍀 Hello together, my name is Valentina. I came to the animal shelter with other cats because we couldn't stay in our old home. It turned out that I don't really like the other cats and would rather be a solitary princess. Currently, I'm often stressed by the other cats here in the animal shelter, which is why I can sometimes be grumpy. With my trusted people, I'm quite cuddly, but only if the other cats don't stress me out. There should be no children living with me, as that would be too stressful for me. Since I spend a lot of time outdoors in the animal shelter, I would like a period of adjustment before being released, so you should definitely live in a traffic-calmed area. Do you want to give me a home and have thought your decision through? Then please write an email and tell me something about yourself and your living conditions. This cat needs outdoor access.

vorbei: 🍀 Hallo zusammen, mein Name ist Valentina. Ich kam gemeinsam mit anderen Katzen ins Tierheim, da wir nicht in unserem alten Zuhause bleiben konnten. Hier hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich die anderen Katzen nicht wirklich mag und lieber Einzelprinzessin sein möchte. Aktuell bin ich durch die anderen Katzen hier im Tierheim häufig gestresst, weshalb ich auch manchmal zickig werde. Mit meinen Bezugspersonen bin ich schon recht verschmust, wenn die anderen Katzen mich nicht stressen. Bei euch sollten keine Kinder leben, da mir das zu stressig wäre. Da ich hier im Tierheim viel Zeit draußen verbringe, wünsche ich mir nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit Freigang, daher solltet ihr unbedingt verkehrsberuhigt wohnen. Möchtest Du mir ein Zuhause schenken und hast dir deine Entscheidung gut überlegt? Dann schreibe doch gerne eine E-Mail an und erzähle darin etwas über dich und deine Haltungsbedingungen. Bis bald,

About Valentina

What life with Valentina looks like

Valentina is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Valentina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Valentina?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Valentina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Valentina if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stuttgart 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 Valentina 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 Valentina 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 Tierheim Stuttgart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Valentina 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.
