Willow

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 4 months

I’m Willow—who are you? But it’s rude to ask directly, so let me introduce myself first. I’m a female cat, about two years old, who recently moved in with her two kittens to a foster home in Lohmar. I must have had a home at some point, but unfortunately, I no longer remember what happened. I’m friendly and cuddly, already spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. My kittens are now old enough to go their own ways, so now it’s my turn to find a lovely forever home. I’d love to be the only princess in my new home, and it would also be nice to have access to outdoor roaming in a suitable environment. Children aren’t a problem, though I’m not familiar with dogs yet. Would you like to get to know me? I hope we’ll hear from each other soon! Your Willow The

Ich bin Willow, wer bist Du? Aber es ist unhöflich, direkt zu fragen, also stelle ich mich erst einmal vor. Ich bin eine etwa zweijährige Katzendame, die vor kurzer Zeit mit ihren beiden Kitten in Lohmar auf der Pflegestelle einzog. Ich muss mal ein Zuhause gehabt haben, aber was auch immer passiert ist, weiß ich leider nicht mehr. Ich bin freundlich und schmusig, bereits kastriert, gechippt, geimpft und negativ auf FIV und FeLV getestet. Meine Kinder sind inzwischen alt genug, um ihre eigenen Wege zu gehen, daher suche ich jetzt auch ein schönes Zuhause. Ich möchte Einzelprinzessin in meinem neuen Zuhause sein, Freigang in passender Umgebung wäre auch schön. Kinder sind kein Problem, Hunde kenne ich allerdings nicht. Möchtest Du mich kennenlernen?Ich hoffe wir hören bald voneinander,Deine Willow Die

About Willow

What life with Willow looks like

Willow is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Straßenkatzen Köln e.V. in Köln.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Willow, answered.

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