Waldfee

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Waldfee was found at night in the woods - not chipped and not spayed. But with a huge bad bite wound on the neck. This came from a tomcat during mating... Fortunately, she was spayed very promptly. Unfortunately, the wound is healing very slowly, as Waldfee has scratched it again and again, she currently wears a bandage, which she finds more than disgusting, but the wound is now healing well. But that's not all that the dear girl brought in the suitcase. Waldfee has hip dysplasia, which is currently being treated with painkillers. Currently, we are only treating it conservatively - we have to see where the path leads and whether an operation would bring improvement. We are now looking for the needle in the haystack for Waldfee... is there a person who will give this sick cat a home and go with her on the future health path - or will she have to stay longer at our animal shelter?

Waldfee wurde nachts im Wald gefunden- nicht gechipt und nicht kastriert. Dafür aber mit einer riesengroßen schlimmen Bissverletzung im Nacken. Diese stammt von einem Kater beim Deckakt… Gedeckt wurde sie aber Gott sei Dank nicht, wir konnten sie sehr zeitnah kastrieren. Leider verheilt die Verletzung sehr schleppend, da Waldfee sie immer wieder aufgekratzt hat, sie trägt aktuell einen Verband, den sie mehr als scheisse findet, aber die Wunde heilt nun gut ab. Aber das ist noch nicht alles was das liebe Mädel im Koffer mitgebracht hat. Waldfee hat eine Hüftdysplasie, die aktuell mit Schmerzmittel behandelt wird. Aktuell behandeln wir das nur konservativ- wir müssen schauen- wo der Weg hinführt und ob ggf. eine OP eine Besserung bringen würde. Wir suchen nun die Nadel im Heuhaufen für Waldfee…gibt es ein Mensch, der dieser kranken Katze ein Zuhause schenkt und den zukünftigen gesundheitlichen Weg mit ihr geht- oder muss sie länger bei uns im Tierheim bleiben ???Katzen finde sie nicht sonderlich gut, aber ein Zusammenleben klappt, wenn sie der anderen Katze aus dem Weg gehen kann.

About Waldfee

What life with Waldfee looks like

Waldfee is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Frankenthal in Germany.

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 Waldfee, answered.

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