Here she is! (This is her shelter website photo. Better photos to come.)
She’s a beautiful, petite brown tabby – and she must have a German name. We are considering Strasse because she was a street kitty.
Dopers, can you give me more suggestions?
Heiligefliegendekinderscheisse.
OK, not really, but I’ve been looking for an excuse to use that one for years.
I love the sound of it, but what does it mean?!?? (Babel Fish tranlates is as “holy flying child shit”!)
Katarina…?
And you think that’s wrong?
Schatze, pronounced Shotsie - “sweetheart.”
Or maybe Katzenjammer, “cat’s cry,” a term for a loud annoying sound, or a hangover.
Schrodinger?
Frau Kitten.
Just don’t call her John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt.
That’s my name.
Die Flayer-Mouse?
What?
M nickname for one cat was “schöne Ratte.”
I had a dog named Schotze once. It looked a lot like a sausage though.
Eva Braun?
Hassenpfeffer
Depending on the personality, you may want tol name it Ungerheuer (monster), one of the few words I remember from my high-school German.
Or maybe Schwartzwalderkirschtorte. 
Funny, that’s my name too
If she’s a clever kitty, you could call her “Wisenheimer.” (I know, I know, but it sounds German, nicht wahr?)
I had a great great great great something grandmother from Bavaria whose name was Walburga. I’m not sure you can get more German than that. 
Oh, and she’s a cute one. I shouldn’t look at cat pictures. I’m greedy.
You have “Sissy” on the photo page, so I’ll suggest Sissi (sic), the nickname of Kaiserin Elisabeth von Wittelsbach, Empress of Austria-Hungary and Duchess of Bavaria. A suitably regal name for the queen of the house.
