Adopt WHITEY

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Location: In Spain Born: ca. 2020 Gender: female Character: a pretty, still somewhat timid cat S..04.06.2026NOT IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT!04.06.2026This pretty cat is WHITEY. She came to the animal shelter with two other cats when her owner had to return to the United Kingdom after his wife passed away. Whitney was very fearful upon her arrival and would hide a lot. She still spends a lot of time in her sleeping box during the day, but when it gets quieter, she comes out and explores her surroundings. She now enjoys being stroked and having her chin scratched by us and also accepts treats. Her playful side has not yet been shown to us, but in the morning, we see that the toys in her enclosure have been moved. She can be picked up for transport, but she does not like to be held for long. WHITEY shares her enclosure with Jazz and George, the two cats she arrived with at the animal shelter. She is also accustomed to living with other cats. Most of the time, she stays in her own area, but sometimes she snuggles with George. We do not believe she has any experience with dogs. As we think it unlikely that all three cats can stay together, Whitney can be rehomed separately from the other two, to live with an already existing, calm cat. Children in the household should be older and accustomed to handling cats. Whitney spent a lot of time outdoors and therefore needs a secure garden or a cat-safe netted balcony. She is a very loving cat who does not really feel at home in the animal shelter. We would be very happy to see her placed in a new, loving home as soon as possible.

Standort: in Spanien Geboren: ca. 2020 Geschlecht: weiblich Charakter: hübsche, noch etwas ängstliche Katze S..04.06.2026NICHT IN EINZELHALTUNG!04.06.2026Diese hübsche Katze ist Whitey. Sie kam zusammen mit zwei anderen Katzen ins Tierheim, da ihr Besitzer nach dem Tod seiner Frau nach Großbritannien zurückkehren musste.Whitney war nach ihrer Ankunft erstmal sehr ängstlich und versteckte sich viel. Sie verbringt tagsüber immer noch viel Zeit in ihrer Schlafbox, aber wenn es ruhiger wird, kommt sie heraus und erkundet die Umgebung. Sie lässt sich mittlerweile gerne von uns streicheln und am Kinn kraulen und nimmt auch gerne Leckerlis an. Ihre verspielte Seite hat sie uns bisher noch nicht gezeigt, aber morgens sehen wir, dass die Spielzeuge in ihrem Gehege verschoben sind. Man kann sie hochheben für den Transport, aber sie mag nicht lange festgehalten werden.Whitey teilt sich ihr Gehege mit Jazz und George, den beiden Katzen, mit denen sie im Tierheim angekommen ist. Sie ist auch das Zusammenleben mit anderen Katzen gewohnt. Meistens bleibt sie in ihrem eigenen Bereich, aber manchmal kuschelt sie mit George.Wir glauben nicht, dass sie Erfahrung mit Hunden hat.Da wir es für unwahrscheinlich halten, dass alle drei Katzen zusammenbleiben können, kann Whitney getrennt von den anderen beiden vermittelt werden, um mit einer bereits vorhandenen, ruhigen Katze zusammenzuleben. Kinder im Haushalt sollten schon etwas älter sein und den Umgang mit Katzen gewohnt sein.Whitney verbrachte früher viel Zeit im Freien und braucht deshalb einen gesicherten Garten oder einen vernetzten Balkon. Sie ist eine sehr liebe Katze, die sich im Tierheim nicht wirklich wohlfühlt. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, sie so bald wie möglich in ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause vermitteln zu können.

About WHITEY

What life with WHITEY looks like

WHITEY is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Animal Help Espania in Odelzhausen.

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 WHITEY, answered.

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