Elli

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

UPDATE !!! Leider hat die Liebe im Tierheim nicht gehalten. Baghira hat sich anderen Katzen zugewandt und Elli möchte auf einmal keine anderen Katzen mehr nehmen sich haben. Also Baghira gern zu einer anderen Katze und Miss Elli möchte nun eine Einzelprinzessin sein. Dürfen wir vorstellen? Elli & Baghira – zwei freundliche, liebe Samtpfoten, die sich ein gemütliches Zuhause wünschen. Elli ist unsere kleine Pummelfee und hat ganz offensichtlich beschlossen, dass Gemütlichkeit eine Lebenseinstellung ist. Während andere Katzen durch die Gegend flitzen, denkt Elli vermutlich eher: „Warum rennen, wenn man auch entspannt sitzen kann?“ Baghira ist ihr gemütlicher Kater-Kumpel und ebenfalls ein ganz freundlicher Kerl. Zusammen suchen die beiden ein Zuhause, in dem es eher ruhig und entspannt zugeht. Freigang brauchen Elli und Baghira nicht. Eine schöne Wohnung und liebe Menschen reichen ihnen völlig aus. Auch Katzenanfänger dürfen sich gerne angesprochen fühlen. Kinder dürfen selbstverständlich in ihrer neuen Familie leben. Sie sollten allerdings schon etwas größer sein und verstehen, dass Katzen auch ihre Ruhe brauchen. Ganz kleine Kinder im Krabbel- oder Lauflernalter wären den beiden einfach zu turbulent. Wichtig: Beide haben Struvitprobleme und benötigen deshalb spezielles Futter. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten darauf achten, dass diese Ernährung auch im neuen Zuhause eingehalten wird. Gesucht wird also kein Action-Haushalt, sondern eher die Kategorie: ruhig, gemütlich, liebevoll und gerne mit einem freien Sofaplatz. Vielleicht wartet genau bei euch das Zuhause, in dem Elli und Baghira endlich ankommen dürfen.

About Elli

What life with Elli looks like

Elli is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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 Herne-Wanne 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 Herne-Wanne 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 Herne-Wanne 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.
