Adopt Elly

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Name: Elly Born: 11/2023 Gender: female Color: gray with white Vaccination status: 2x vaccinated neutered: yes Elly is a young, playful female cat who, after a difficult time filled with treatments, is finally carefree and dashing around again. She loves playing with balls and fishing toys – despite her energetic nature, she is a very social cat who feels at home in the company of other feline friends and seeks close contact. Therefore, she will only be rehomed as a second cat. Unfortunately, Elly is FIV-positive, but this does not stop her from living a happy life. Who will give Elly the home she so deserves? She will repay it with lots of love, purring, and happy moments.

Name: Elly Geboren: 11/2023 Geschlecht: weiblich Farbe: grautiger mit weiß Impfstatus: 2x geimpft Kastriert: ja Elly ist eine junge, verspielte Katzendame, die nach einer schwierigen Zeit voller Behandlungen nun endlich wieder unbeschwert durch die Gegend flitzt. Sie liebt es, mit Bällchen und Angeln zu spielen – trotz ihres Temperaments ist sie aber eine sehr soziale Katze, die sich in Gesellschaft anderer Samtpfoten wohlfühlt und engen Kontakt sucht. Sie wird daher nur als Zweitkatze vermittelt. Leider ist Elly FIV-positiv, doch das hält sie nicht davon ab, ein glückliches Leben zu führen. Wer schenkt Elly das Zuhause, das sie so sehr verdient? Sie wird es mit viel Liebe, Schnurren und glücklichen Momenten danken.

About Elly

What life with Elly looks like

Elly is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Tauberbischofsheim und Umgebung e.V. in Würzburg.

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 Elly, answered.

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