Zia

Mixed Breed · Female

Zia is a charming female cat with her own mind – a real cat who knows exactly what she wants. For her happiness, she wishes for a quiet home where she can arrive at her own pace. She has little patience for excitable or very playful cats, preferring to comment on such encounters with clear hisses and keeping the wild candidates at a charming distance. However, she gets along well with calm and laid-back fellow animals and enjoys their company. Especially content, Zia feels at a relaxed spot, and she also loves to observe the world outside and enjoy fresh air. She loves her peace, short excursions, and of course, cuddle sessions – but only when she decides that the right moment has come.

DE·Show original

Zia ist eine bezaubernde Katzendame mit einem ganz eigenen Kopf – eben eine echte Katze, die genau weiß, was sie möchte. Für ihr Glück wünscht sie sich ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf. Mit aufgedrehten oder sehr verspielten Katzen kann Zia wenig anfangen. Solche Begegnungen kommentiert sie lieber mit deutlichem Gefauche und hält sich die wilden Kandidaten charmant vom Leib. Mit ruhigen und gelassenen Artgenossen hingegen kommt sie gut zurecht und genießt deren Gesellschaft durchaus. Besonders wohl fühlt sich Zia an einem entspannten Plätzchen, gerne auch mit der Möglichkeit, draußen die Welt zu beobachten und frische Luft zu genießen. Sie liebt ihre Ruhe, kleine Streifzüge und natürlich auch Kuscheleinheiten – allerdings nur dann, wenn sie selbst entscheidet, dass gerade der richtige Moment dafür ist. Wer einer selbstbewussten Katze mit Persönlichkeit, Charme und klaren Vorstellungen ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchte, wird in Zia eine treue und ganz besondere Begleiterin finden.

About Zia

What life with Zia looks like

Zia is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) in Aurich.

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 Zia, answered.

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