Wespe

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Wespe, a domestic cat, has given birth to her kittens at the animal shelter and is ready to move to her new home after raising them and being spayed. She can be met and visited regularly until adoption. Wespe is a people-oriented cat who values the closeness of her caregivers and enjoys cuddling. She has little patience with other cats, which is why we are looking for a place for her as a single cat. Preferably, she would live in an apartment with a balcony where she can participate in her humans' daily lives. We would like to find a home for Wespe where someone is present most of the time and she does not have to be alone for long periods. Ideally, she would move in with cat-experienced people who can give her the necessary attention and security. In the past, Wespe has repeatedly scratched a spot on her neck. A medical cause could not be found. We have currently gotten the problem under control. If the behavior occurs again in the new home, we will be available to advise and support the new owners. If you would like to meet Wespe and offer her a suitable home, please contact us at the animal shelter - by email or phone. We look forward to your inquiry! Please send us an email with the completed interest inquiry form if you are interested in one of our animals or contact us via our contact form if you have questions. Please be sure to include a callback number. Please do not come without an appointment! Please leave this field empty. Please leave this field empty.

Fundkatze Wespe hat im Tierheim ihre Jungen zur Welt gebracht und ist nach der Aufzucht und erfolgter Kastration bereit ihr neues zu Hause zu beziehen. Sie kann allerdings jetzt schon kennen gelernt und bis zur Adoption auch regelmäßig besucht werden. Wespe ist eine menschenbezogene Katze, die die Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen sehr schätzt und gerne schmust. Mit anderen Katzen kann sie wenig anfangen, weshalb wir für sie einen Platz als Einzelkatze suchen. Bevorzugt wird eine Wohnungshaltung mit Balkon, in der sie am Alltag ihrer Menschen teilhaben kann. Für Wespe wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem möglichst häufig jemand anwesend ist und sie nicht über längere Zeit allein bleiben muss. Idealerweise zieht sie zu katzenerfahrenen Menschen, die ihr die nötige Aufmerksamkeit und Sicherheit geben können. In der Vergangenheit hat sich Wespe wiederholt eine Stelle am Hals aufgekratzt. Eine medizinische Ursache konnte dafür nicht festgestellt werden. Aktuell haben wir das Problem in den Griff bekommen. Sollte das Verhalten im neuen Zuhause erneut auftreten, stehen wir den neuen Haltern selbstverständlich beratend und unterstützend zur Seite. Wer Wespe kennenlernen möchte und ihr ein passendes Zuhause bieten kann, darf sich gerne bei uns im Tierheim melden – per Mail oder Telefon. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Anfrage! Senden Sie uns bei konkretem Interesse an einem unserer Tiere eine E-Mail mit der vollständig ausgefüllten Interessentenvoranfrage an oder kontaktieren Sie uns bei Fragen über unser Kontaktformular. Bitte geben Sie unbedingt eine Rückrufnummer an. Bitte kommen Sie nicht ohne Termin! Please leave this field empty.Please leave this field empty.

About Wespe

What life with Wespe looks like

Wespe is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Oelzschau in Oelzschau.

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 Wespe, answered.

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