Melli

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

MELLI (approx. 1 year old) is looking for her forever home The sweet Melli lives currently in a loving foster home and is now ready to find her own forever home. Melli is a very affectionate cat and has a wish - she would like to be a single princess, having her humans and her home all to herself. After a period of adjustment, she would like to have a traffic-calmed outdoor area. Lovers of our black furry paws will hopefully be weak here. Please send inquiries to the foster home:

About Melli

What life with Melli looks like

Melli is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Vaihingen in Vaihingen an der Enz.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Melli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Melli?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Vaihingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Melli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Melli if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Vaihingen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Melli 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 Melli 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 Vaihingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Melli 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.
