Wanda

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Unglaublich, aber wahr: Wanda wurde nachts in einem Kölner Club gefunden. Da sie von niemandem vermisst wurde, haben wir sie geimpft, getestet und gechipt (die Kastration folgt noch). Nun suchen wir für sie ein passendes Zuhause. Sie ist eine sehr liebe und eher ruhige Katze. Wir denken, dass sie in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon am besten aufgehoben wäre – ein Streuner ist sie sicherlich nicht. Mit anderen Katzen hat sie keine Probleme, es sollte also eine ebenso ruhige Katze oder Kater im Haushalt leben. Auch gegen größere Kinder hätte Wanda bestimmt nichts einzuwenden. Wenn Sie sich für die Adoption von Wanda interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine ausführliche Mail, in der Sie etwas über sich und das zukünftige Zuhause von Wanda erzählen.

About Wanda

What life with Wanda looks like

Wanda is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Wanda, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Wanda?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Köln handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Wanda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Wanda if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Wanda 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 Wanda 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 Köln early rather than rehoming privately; they know Wanda 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.
