Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Xenia Breed: European Shorthair Color: grey tabby Sex: female Date of birth: approx. 07.2024 Neutered: yes Xenia turned up near one of our feeding stations with her kittens. Our volunteers were able to secure her and her kittens, and she is now ready for a proper home. At the moment she is still very shy around people and does not yet want to be stroked. An existing friendly tomcat would certainly help her settle in. In the long run, she would also like to have outdoor access.

Xenia Rasse: Europäisch Kurzhaar Farbe: grau getigert Geschlecht: weiblich Geburtsdatum: ca. 07.2024 Kastriert: ja Xenia tauchte in der nähe von einer unserer Futterstellen mit ihren Kitten auf. Unsere Ehrenamtlerinnen konnten sie und ihre Kitten sichern und nun ist sie soweit für ein richtiges Zuhause. Aktuell ist sie dem Menschen gegenüber noch sehr scheu und möchte sich noch nicht streicheln lassen. Bei der Eingewöhnung würde sicherlich ein vorhandener netter Kater helfen. Auf dauer würde sie sich auch Freigang wünschen.

About Xenia

What life with Xenia looks like

Xenia is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Xenia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Xenia?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Xenia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Xenia if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Xenia 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 Xenia 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 Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Xenia 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.
