How do I contact the shelter about ZITA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzbund handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ZITA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ZITA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzbund 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 ZITA 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 ZITA 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 early rather than rehoming privately; they know ZITA 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.

ZITA

Female · Young · 3 years

Zita, our black beauty, arrived in May 2024 with her kittens, all of whom have since been rehomed. Initially, she was wary of humans and wouldn't let anyone touch her. However, she has now realized that affection is beneficial and allows herself to be petted by familiar people - you just need a bit of patience. It's a joy when you enter the room and she recognizes you, then runs to her favorite cuddling spot on her own. Zita used to live outdoors and would like to have outdoor access again after a few weeks of acclimation in her new home. We only rehome Zita with her best friend Naila, whom she met here and has shared a room with since the beginning. Naila went through the same experience as Zita and they are very attached to each other. Naila also allows herself to be petted now. Our cats are generally rehomed in pairs or added to an existing compatible cat (there are exceptions for some animals). All are vaccinated, chipped, and dewormed with a deposit fee and contract through the Osnabrück Cat Protection Association. We're very excited about your contact! Until you meet your desired candidate in person, observe Zita and her roommates online via the webcams at (Room A4). You can also find news about many of our protégés, including photos and videos, on Instagram, Facebook, or our YouTube channel Katzenschutzbund Osnabrück e.V. There's always something going on in our cat house!

Unsere schwarze Schönheit Zita zog im Mai 2024 mit ihren Kitten bei uns ein, die mittlerweile alle längst vermittelt sind. Lange wollte sie von uns Menschen nichts wissen und ließ sich nicht anfassen. Mittlerweile hat sie aber wohl festgestellt, dass Zuneigung gut tut und lässt sich von bekannten Personen streicheln - man muss nur ein bisschen Geduld haben. Es ist eine Freude, wenn man das Zimmer betritt sie einen erkennt und dann schon von selbst zum angestammten -Schmuseplatz- läuft. Zita hat früher draußen gelebt und möchte möglichst nach einer mehrwöchigen Eingewöhnung in ihrem neuen Zuhause wieder Freigang haben. Wir vermitteln Zita nur gemeinsam mit ihrer besten Freundin Naila, die sie hier bei uns kennengelernt hat und mit der sie von Anfang an das Zimmer geteilt hat. Naila hat das gleiche durchgemacht wie sie und die beiden hängen sehr aneinander. Auch Naila lässt sich mittlerweile streicheln. Unsere Katzen werden grundsätzlich mindestens zu zweit oder zu einer vorhandenen und passenden Katze vermittelt (es gibt auch Ausnahmen im Sinne einiger Tiere). Alle werden geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt gegen Schutzgebühr und Schutzvertrag über den Katzenschutzbund Osnabrück abgegeben. Wir freuen uns sehr auf Ihre Kontaktaufnahme! Bis Sie Ihren Wunschkandidaten persönlich kennenlernen, beobachten Sie doch Zita und ihre Mitbewohner online über die Webcams auf (Raum A4). Neuigkeiten über viele unserer Schützlinge inkl. Fotos und Videos finden Sie natürlich auch bei Instagram, Facebook oder auf unserem YouTube Channel Katzenschutzbund Osnabrück e.V. In unserem Miezhaus ist nämlich immer was los!

About ZITA

What life with ZITA looks like

ZITA is a young adult cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund in Brüggen-Bracht.

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.
