Elli

Female · Adult · 6 years

Elli arrived at the shelter as a found cat, accompanied by two small guests. She has now fulfilled her motherly duties and is looking for a home. Elli came into contact with the Parvo virus, which might mean she has some late effects. She does not get along well with other cats and would prefer to live as a single princess.

Elli kam als Fundtier zu uns. Die hübsche Katze hatte zwei kleine Gäste mit dabei. Sie hat mittlerweile ihre Mutterpflichten erfüllt und sucht nun ein Zuhause. Elli kam mit dem Parvo-Virus in Kontakt, es könnte sein das sie später Spätfolgen hat. Mit anderen Katzen versteht sich Elli nicht sehr gut und möchte gerne als Einzelprinzessin leben.

About Elli

What life with Elli looks like

Elli is a small adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mülheim in Mülheim.

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 Elli, answered.

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