Adopt Winnie

Female · Senior · 14 years

Our Winnie came to us as a found cat. She was in no good health. After a longer period of stationary care at the vet, the pretty one is now back with us at the animal shelter. Winni wishes for a quiet home in a rural environment. If you have time, patience, and lots of love to bring and have a spot free with a terrace or garden, that would be the winning combination for our Winnie. The little princess can be quite demanding at mealtime and wants to share her cat kingdom with no one.

Unsere Winnie kam als Fundkatze zu uns. Sie war in keinem guten Gesundheitszustand. Nach einer längeren stationären Zeit beim Tierarzt ist die Hübsche jetzt wieder bei uns im Tierheim. Winni wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause in einer ländlichen Umgebung. Wenn Sie Zeit, Geduld und viel Liebe mitbringen und ein Plätzchen frei haben mit Terrasse oder Garten, wäre das der Hauptgewinn für unsere Winnie. Das kleine Prinzesschen kann recht mäckelig beim Futter sein und möchte ihr Katzenreich mit niemandem teilen.

About Winnie

What life with Winnie looks like

Winnie is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim Lindau e.V. in Lindau.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Winnie, answered.

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