How do I contact the shelter about Vanilla?

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

Can I adopt Vanilla if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn 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 Vanilla 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 Vanilla 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 Quellenhof Passbrunn early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vanilla 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.

Vanilla

European Shorthair · Unknown

Valerio, Vito, and Vanilla suddenly appeared together with their finders and have not gone anywhere since. Unfortunately, no one knew the three of them. Upon their arrival, they were all extremely matted and had many ticks. After the parasiticide treatment and successful vaccination, they were allowed to move into the cat shelter. Vanilla is the most anxious of the trio. We have not been able to handle her properly yet. She unfortunately immediately goes into an attack or flight position. However, since she has been in the shelter, she has become much more relaxed. We think that an outdoor enclosure where she can decide how close she comes to us might be good for her. So far, there have been no problems with the other cats. We are looking for a new home for Vanilla with a later secure release. Her new people should have a lot of understanding for her fear. A more outgoing second cat could perhaps help her shed her shyness. Maybe an "outwilder" place could also be something for Vanilla.

Valerio, Vito und Vanilla sind plötzlich bei ihren Findern gemeinsam aufgetaucht und nicht mehr gegangen. Leider kannte die drei auch niemand. Bei ihrer Ankunft waren alle extrem verfloht und hatten viele Zecken. Nach der Parasitenbehandlung und erfolgter Impfung durften sie ins Katzenhaus umziehen. Vanilla ist die Ängstlichste vom Trio. Wir konnten Sie bis jetzt noch nicht richtig anfassen. Sie geht leider sofort in Angriffs-, oder Fluchtstellung. Seit sie im Katzenhaus ist, ist sie aber wesentlich entspannter. Wir denken, dass ihr das Außengehege gut tut wo sie selbst entscheiden kann, wie nah sie uns kommt. Mit den anderen Katzen gibt es bis jetzt keine Probleme. Wir suchen für Vanilla ein neues Zuhause mit späterem sicheren Freigang. Ihre neuen Menschen sollten viel Verständnis für ihre Angst haben. Eine zutrauliche Zweitkatze könnte ihr vielleicht helfen, ihre Scheu abzulegen. Evtl. könnte auch ein "Auswilderungsplatz" etwas für Vanilla sein.
