Zira – Pflegestelle/Endstelle gesucht

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Zira, a female neutered cat, was brought to us by the police in the summer along with her kittens. She is having a tough time because living with five adolescent kittens is not her style. She would much rather be somewhere else. Zira is actually a single princess. She doesn't like other cats or dogs. As a result, her mood is often affected by the fact that her foster home also has both. Unfortunately, this also means that Zira doesn't really appreciate the company of two-legged creatures. She doesn't let anyone touch her yet.She would have been a candidate for release into the wild. But she can't return to her original location - and we were not offered any free places for barn cats this year. Now it's almost too late, because she won't get a winter coat.But that's how she now has the chance to develop into a real house cat in the next few months.We are looking for a quiet home (or a foster home) where Zira can relax first. Her humans should have experience with cats and a lot of patience. A home should later be able to offer outdoor access in a suitable quiet residential area (this would not be necessary for a foster home, of course).Who wants to make Zira a respectable house cat?If you want to take on this task, please fill out this questionnaire. I am interested in this cat

. Alter: geb. 2024 (geschätzt)Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Verträglichkeit: Einzelkatze Haltung: Wohnung mit gesichertem Garten, Freigang oder Außenhaltung Gesundheit: negativ getestet (FIV/FeLV), gechippt, geimpft (Schnupfen/Seuche)Schutzgebühr: 230 Euro Zira wurde uns im Sommer zusammen mit ihren Kitten von der Polizei gebracht. Sie hat es gerade nicht einfach, denn das Leben mit fünf pubertierenden Jungspunden ist so gar nicht nach ihrem Geschmack. Sie wäre gerade gerne woanders.Denn eigentlich ist Zira eine Einzelprinzessin. Sie mag weder anderen Katzen und auch keine Hunde. Dementsprechend ist derzeit oft ihre Laune, gibt es auf ihrer Pflegestelle doch auch noch Beides. Leider führt das auch dazu, dass Zira die Gesellschaft von uns Zweibeinern auch noch nicht wirklich zu schätzen weiß. Anfassen geht noch nicht.Eigentlich wäre sie damit eine Auswilderungs-Kandidatin gewesen. Aber an ihren Fundort zurück kann sie nicht – und freie Plätze für Stallkatzen wurden uns leider dieses Jahr nicht angeboten. Jetzt ist es dafür auch fast zu spät, denn sie wird kein Winterfell bekommen.Aber so hat sie nun die Chance, sich in den nächsten Monaten doch noch zu einer richtigen Hauskatze zu entwickeln.Wir suchen ein eher ruhiges Zuhause (oder auch einen Pflegeplatz), wo Zira sich erst einmal entspannen kann. Ihre Menschen sollten über Katzenerfahrung und viel Geduld verfügen. Ein Zuhause sollte später Freigang in einer dafür geeigneten ruhigen Wohngegend bieten können (dies wäre als Pflegestelle natürlich nicht notwendig).Wer möchte aus Zira eine ehrbare Hauskatze machen?Wenn Sie sich dieser Aufgabe stellen wollen, füllen Sie bitte diesen Fragebogen aus.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zira – Pflegestelle/Endstelle gesucht, answered.

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