How do I contact the shelter about Elly?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich 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 — Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich 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 Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich 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.

Elly

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Elly is a rather submissive and sensitive cat. In our group room, she currently feels a bit overwhelmed and therefore shows herself to be very reserved. When Elly came to our shelter, she was initially housed separately from the cat group because she was caring for her kittens. During this time, she showed herself to be very people-oriented and affectionate. She enjoys being close to her humans and can be a very sweet and affectionate companion when she feels safe. Therefore, we are looking for a quiet home for Elly with a steady person who will give her time to settle in and build trust. She would like to live as a single princess or move to a nice, quiet cat who doesn't demand too much from her. Above all, Elly needs peace, security, and people who understand her sensitive nature. If you give her the necessary time and a protected environment, she will surely show again how affectionate and people-oriented she can be. Anyone who wants to give a sensitive cat a quiet home and enjoys gaining her trust could find Elly to be a very special companion.

DE·Show original

Elly ist eine eher unterwürfige und sensible Katze. Bei uns im Gruppenraum fühlt sie sich momentan etwas überfordert und zeigt sich deshalb sehr zurückhaltend. Als Elly zu uns ins Tierheim kam, war sie zunächst separat von der Katzengruppe untergebracht, da sie ihre Kitten versorgte. In dieser Zeit zeigte sie sich sehr menschenbezogen und verschmust. Sie genießt die Nähe zu ihren Menschen und kann eine ganz liebe und anhängliche Begleiterin sein, wenn sie sich sicher fühlt. Für Elly wünschen wir uns deshalb ein ruhiges Zuhause mit einer festen Bezugsperson, die ihr Zeit gibt anzukommen und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Sie möchte gerne als Einzelprinzessin leben oder zu einer netten, ruhigen Katze ziehen, die ihr nicht zu viel abverlangt. Elly braucht vor allem Ruhe, Sicherheit und Menschen, die ihre sensible Art verstehen. Gibt man ihr die nötige Zeit und einen geschützten Rahmen, wird sie sicherlich wieder zeigen, wie verschmust und menschenbezogen sie sein kann. Wer einer sensiblen Katze ein ruhiges Zuhause schenken möchte und Freude daran hat, ihr Vertrauen zu gewinnen, könnte in Elly eine ganz besondere Begleiterin finden.

About Elly

What life with Elly looks like

Elly is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) in Aurich.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
