ELLI

Female · Senior · 13 years

Elli is a female, spayed European Shorthair cat born in February 2013. She came to our shelter because she exhibited litter box issues in her previous home. Elli is looking for a quiet, child-free home in an apartment with a securely fenced balcony. She does not want to share her new living space and attention with other cats and will therefore only be placed in single-cat households. The affectionate female cat is very people-oriented, talkative, and cuddly. She enjoys being close to her caregivers and particularly enjoys being groomed extensively. Elli can sometimes appear a bit restless, but relaxes well in direct contact with familiar people. Despite her age, Elli is still lively and playful. She wants people who will give her attention, engage her in suitable activities, and provide her with a consistent, stress-free daily routine. Elli requires a special single-protein diet with kangaroo. Due to her liver problems, she receives medication that she takes easily with her food. She also receives supportive dietary supplements for her pancreas and dietary cellulose for better satiety. Since Elli is almost constantly hungry, her new home must be designed to be particularly secure against food. Food and pet food must not be freely accessible, and trash cans must be reliably closed, as Elli will otherwise help herself. Her future owners should also be aware that the litter box issues she exhibited in her previous home may recur after the move. Patience, understanding, and a calm approach are especially important. We are very happy that one of our protégés may soon find a new home with you.

Elli ist eine weibliche, kastrierte Europäisch-Kurzhaar-Katze und wurde im Februar 2013 geboren. Sie kam zu uns ins Tierheim, da sie in ihrem bisherigen Zuhause Unsauberkeit zeigte. Elli sucht ein ruhiges, kinderfreies Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit einem sicher vernetzten Balkon. Sie möchte ihren neuen Lebensraum und die Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen nicht mit anderen Katzen teilen und wird daher ausschließlich in Einzelhaltung vermittelt. Die zutrauliche Katzendame ist sehr menschenbezogen, gesprächig und verschmust. Sie sucht gerne die Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen und genießt es besonders, ausgiebig gekämmt zu werden. Elli kann zeitweise etwas unruhig wirken, entspannt sich im direkten Kontakt mit vertrauten Menschen jedoch sehr gut. Trotz ihres Alters ist Elli noch temperamentvoll und verspielt. Sie wünscht sich Menschen, die ihr Aufmerksamkeit schenken, sie passend beschäftigen und ihr gleichzeitig einen beständigen, stressarmen Alltag bieten. Elli benötigt ein spezielles Monoprotein-Futter mit Känguru. Aufgrund ihrer Leberprobleme bekommt sie Medikamente, die sie unkompliziert mit ihrem Futter aufnimmt. Zusätzlich erhält sie unterstützende Futterzusätze für die Bauchspeicheldrüse sowie Futterzellulose für ein besseres Sättigungsgefühl. Da Elli nahezu ständig hungrig ist, muss ihr neues Zuhause besonders futtersicher gestaltet werden. Lebensmittel und Tierfutter dürfen nicht frei zugänglich sein, und auch Abfalleimer müssen zuverlässig verschlossen werden, da Elli sich sonst selbst bedient. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten sich außerdem bewusst sein, dass die aus dem vorherigen Zuhause bekannte Unsauberkeit auch nach dem Umzug erneut auftreten kann. Hier sind Geduld, Verständnis und ein ruhiger Umgang besonders wichtig. Liebe Interessentinnen und Interessenten, wir freuen uns sehr, dass vielleicht schon bald einer unserer Schützlinge bei Ihnen ein neues Zuhause finden darf.

About ELLI

What life with ELLI looks like

ELLI is a senior cat waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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. Tierschutzverein München 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 — Tierschutzverein München 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 Tierschutzverein München 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.
