How do I contact the shelter about Ennis &#8211?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stiftung Paradiesli, Tierheim für Ob und Nidwalden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ennis &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ennis &#8211 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stiftung Paradiesli, Tierheim für Ob und Nidwalden 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 Ennis &#8211 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 Ennis &#8211 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 Stiftung Paradiesli, Tierheim für Ob und Nidwalden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ennis &#8211 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.

Ennis &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Ennis seeks his forever home Ennis was found in the middle of the forest with his siblings. His siblings have already found a new home. Now we are looking for a wonderful forever home for the beautiful gray/white cat. Ennis is very shy at first. But at the foster home in Canton Obwalden he is warming up every day and enjoys petting. You can already stroke him and he purrs like a world champion. The beauty was born around June 2024. He needs a little time at the beginning to warm up. A social cat companion, people who give him the necessary time and wonderfully secluded living would be the dream. That's why we are looking for a home where he can be given time to arrive. Ennis wants to be independent through a cat door into the countryside after settling in. So his new home should be in a rural area (50s/80s streets and rail lines at least 200 meters away) is ideal. He does not know children, but should not be a problem from 10 years on. The beautiful cat has been tested, treated against internal and external parasites, vaccinated, has a chip and is of course castrated. He lives at the moment at a foster home in the region of Obwalden and should move to his human as of now. Who gives this great cat a new home? If you are interested in Ennis, please send an email with your details (exact address) and a short description of why you think Ennis will feel at home with you and what he can expect.

Ennis sucht seinen Lebensplatz Ennis wurde mitten im Wald mit seinen Geschwistern gefunden. Seine Geschwister haben bereits einen neuen Platz gefunden. Nun suchen wir für den wunderschönen grau / weissen Kater einen tollen Lebensplatz. Ennis ist am Anfang noch sehr schüchtern. Auf der Pflegestelle im Kanton Obwalden taut er aber jeden Tag mehr auf und geniesst Streicheleinheiten. Man kann ihn schon kraulen und er schnurrt wie ein Weltmeister. Geboren ist die Schönheit ca. im Juni 2024. Er braucht am Anfang sicher ein wenig Zeit bis er auftaut. Ein sozialer Katzenkumpel, Menschen die ihm die nötige Zeit geben und wunderbar abgelegen wohnen wäre die Traumvorstellung. Darum suchen wir ein Zuhause wo man ihm Zeit lässt, dass er ankommen darf. Ennis möchte nach der Eingewöhnung selbständig durch eine Katzentüre ins Grüne. Also gerne soll sein neues Zuhause in ländlicher Gegend (50er/80er Strassen und Bahnlinien mindestens 200 Meter entfernt) sein. Kinder kennt er nicht, sollten aber ab 10 Jahren kein Problem sein. Der schöne Kater ist getestet, gegen innere und äussere Parasiten behandelt, geimpft, hat einen Chip und ist selbstverständlich kastriert. Er lebt im Moment auf einer Pflegestelle in der Region Obwalden und dürfte per sofort zu seinem Menschen umziehen. Wer gibt diesem tollen Kater ein neues Zuhause? Wenn Du Interesse an Ennis hast, schicke bitte eine E-Mail an mit Deinen Angaben (bitte genaue Adresse) und einem Kurzbeschrieb, warum Du denkst, dass sich Ennis bei Dir wohlfühlen wird und was er alles erwarten darf.
