Mixed Breed · Unknown

🐾 Little Velvet Paws Seeking Their Forever Homes 🐾 Our many little charges are between 12 weeks and 6 months old and mostly come from feral cat mothers. As a result, many of them first have to learn that being close to us humans can be something nice. ❤️ Some of our furballs don't yet find our closeness particularly thrilling – but the first cautious approaches give us hope: some already allow themselves to be stroked very gently and show that inside them are curious, loving little cats. 🥰 Others are already little cuddle warriors. For our little mice we are looking for understanding and patient people who give them the time they need to build trust and settle in at their own pace. If you are ready to walk this path together with one of these little treasures, with plenty of love, calm, and patience, you can surely build a very special bond. ❤️ We are looking for loving homes where, after an appropriate period of settling in, the little ones may also enjoy outdoor access. Perhaps the home where a shy little mouse can soon become a happy indoor cat with great trust in its people is waiting right with you. 🐱💕

🐾 Kleine Samtpfoten suchen ihr Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾 Unsere zahlreichen kleinen Schützlinge sind zwischen 12 Wochen und 6 Monate jung und stammen meist von verwilderten Katzenmamas. Daher müssen viele erst noch lernen, dass die Nähe von uns Menschen etwas Schönes sein kann. ❤️ Einige der Fellnasen finden unsere Nähe noch nicht unbedingt prickelnd – doch die ersten vorsichtigen Annäherungen machen Hoffnung: Einige lassen sich bereits ganz behutsam streicheln und zeigen, dass in ihnen neugierige, liebevolle kleine Katzen stecken. 🥰 Andere wiederum sind schon jetzt kleine Kampfkuschler. Für unsere kleinen Mäuse suchen wir verständnisvolle und geduldige Menschen, die ihnen die nötige Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen und in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Wer bereit ist, mit viel Liebe, Ruhe und Geduld den Weg gemeinsam mit einem dieser kleinen Schätze zu gehen, kann mit Sicherheit eine ganz besondere Verbindung aufbauen. ❤️ Gesucht werden liebevolle Zuhause, in denen die Kleinen nach entsprechender Eingewöhnung später auch Freigang genießen dürfen. Vielleicht wartet ja genau bei dir das Zuhause, in dem aus einem scheuen kleinen Mäuschen schon bald ein glücklicher Stubentiger mit großem Vertrauen in seine Menschen werden kann. 🐱💕

About Kindergarten

What life with Kindergarten looks like

Kindergarten is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutz Auerbach in Germany.

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 Kindergarten, answered.

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