Adopt Ellie

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Name: Ellie Age: 5 months (as of October 2025) Gender: male, will be neutered soon Ellie is the approximately 5-month-old sister of Taros – a sweet, lively young kitten who enchants everyone with her curious nature. She is microchipped, vaccinated, and will soon be neutered. Ellie is looking for a loving home as an indoor cat, preferably with another friendly house cat or with plenty of human attention. Like many cats, Ellie has tested positive for FCoV (Feline Coronavirus). This sounds worse than it is: Most cats live completely symptom-free with it. What’s important is a stress-free, stable home and good care. The virus is absolutely harmless to humans and other animal species. 💛 Ellie is a joyful young female cat who simply seeks a chance – with people who accept her as she is: cheerful, seemingly healthy, and full of energy for life.

Name: EllieAlter: 5 Monate (Stand Oktober 2025)Geschlecht: männlich, wird demnächst kastriert Ellie ist die etwa 5 Monate alte Schwester von Taros – eine süße, lebhafte Jungkatze, die mit ihrer neugierigen Art jeden sofort verzaubert. Sie ist gechippt, geimpft und wird bald kastriert. Ellie sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause als reine Wohnungskatze, gerne gemeinsam mit einem anderen verträglichen Stubentiger oder mit viel menschlicher Aufmerksamkeit. Bei Ellie wurde – wie bei vielen Katzen – FCoV (Katzencorona) festgestellt. Das klingt schlimmer, als es ist: Die meisten Katzen leben damit völlig beschwerdefrei. Wichtig ist nur ein stressarmes, stabiles Zuhause und gute Pflege. Für Menschen oder andere Tierarten ist das Virus absolut ungefährlich. 💛 Ellie ist ein lebensfrohes Katzenmädchen, das einfach nur eine Chance sucht – bei Menschen, die sie so nehmen, wie sie ist: fröhlich, gesund wirkend und voller Energie fürs Leben.

About Ellie

What life with Ellie looks like

Ellie is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Oellschuetz in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Ellie, answered.

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