Adopt Himal & Nilay

British Shorthair · Male · Kitten

-Still in critical condition: open Name: Himal & Nilay Breed: BKH Mix Gender: male Color: white black & red white Born: 11.04.2026 Compatible with: fellow animals Himal (white black) and Nilay (red white) were exactly like their siblings Manju and Avan, born in Bergen from trash and scraps…. The little family came from a severe animal hoarding case and had the good fortune to be found amidst the mountains of trash. In the foster home, the little furballs are lovingly cared for by their Mama. Himal, whose name means covered in snow, is a scrawny little kitten, but he is also the sleepyhead of the group and enjoys taking a nap and curling up to sleep. He loves it and can do it for hours if he wants to. Nilay, our rosy white sunbeam with his sweet innocent gaze, is also simply a lovable little guy. He likes to play, is the first at the door to greet someone, and loves to be cuddled. As all the siblings are very alert, brave, and cuddly kitten children, they would also make good family cats. Of course, the children shouldn’t be too rough and should have an understanding for cats. Our kitten children must be neutered by the 6th month of life. This must be proven by a spay/neuter certificate. Wunschzuhause: The little bundles of joy always seek a loving home in pairs. A nice dog or nice fellow animals wouldn’t be a problem. The siblings will only be rehomed with a secured balcony in suitable for apartment living situations. Contact: Fam.

-noch rechtzeitig gerettet Status: reserviert Name: Himal & Nilay Rasse: BKH Mix Geschlecht: männlich Farbe: weiß schwarz & rot weiß Geboren: 11.04.2026 Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Himal (weiß schwarz )und Nilay (rot weiß) wurden genau wie ihre Geschwister Manju und Avan in Bergen von Müll und Abfall geboren…. Die kleine Familie stammt aus einem schlimmen Animal Hoarding Fall und hatte das Glück zwischen den Bergen von Unrat gefunden zu werden. In der Pflegestelle wachsen die kleinen Fellknäuel liebevoll umsorgt von ihrer Mama auf. Himal, der Name bedeutet von Schnee bedeckt, ist ein verschmuster kleiner Katermann, er ist aber auch die Schlafmütze aus der Truppe und genießt es auch mal abzuschalten und sich in den Schlaf kraulen zu lassen. Das liebt er und kann, wenn es nach ihm geht stundenlang so weiter gehen. Nilay unser rot weißer Sonnenschein mit seinem zuckersüßen unschuldigem Blick, ist auch wirklich einfach nur ein liebes Kerlchen. Er spielt gerne, ist mit der erste an der Tür um einen zu begrüßen und liebt es gekuschelt zu werden. Da alle Geschwisterchen ganz aufgeweckte, mutige, verschmuste Katzenkinder sind, wären sie auch als Familienkatzen gut geeignet. Natürlich sollten die Kinder nicht mehr allzu stürmisch sein und Einfühlungsvermögen für Katzen besitzen. Unsere Katzenkinder müssen mit dem 6. Lebensmonat kastriert werden. Dies ist dem Verein durch eine Kastrationsbescheinigung nachzuweisen. Wunschzuhause: Die kleine Wonneproppen suchen immer im Doppelpack ein liebevolles Zuhause. Ein netter Hunde oder nette Artgenossen wären auch kein Problem. Die Geschwister werden nur in Wohnungshaltung gerne mit gesichertem Balkon vermittelt. Kontakt: Fam. Stoll

About Himal & Nilay

What life with Himal & Nilay looks like

Himal & Nilay is a small puppy/kitten british shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Himal & Nilay, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Himal & Nilay?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Himal & Nilay on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Himal & Nilay if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Himal & Nilay 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 Himal & Nilay 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Himal & Nilay 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.
