Nala

Female · Adult · 4 years

Nala kam nach dem Tod ihres Besitzers gemeinsam mit Balou und Simba zu uns ins Tierheim. Der Verlust ihres vertrauten Zuhauses und die neue Umgebung machen ihr noch zu schaffen, weshalb sie sich derzeit eher scheu und zurückhaltend zeigt. Besonders viel Sicherheit gibt ihr Balou. Die beiden scheinen innerhalb der kleinen Katzengruppe am engsten miteinander verbunden zu sein und orientieren sich aneinander. Deshalb würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn Nala und Balou auch gemeinsam in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen könnten. Gesucht wird ein sehr ruhiger Haushalt ohne viel Trubel, in dem Nala nicht bedrängt wird und ausreichend Zeit bekommt, Vertrauen zu fassen. Ein geduldiger Umgang und sichere Rückzugsmöglichkeiten sind für sie besonders wichtig. Nala ist Wohnungshaltung gewohnt und wünscht sich Menschen, die keine fertige Schmusekatze erwarten, sondern ihr die Zeit geben, die sie zum Ankommen braucht.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is an adult cat waiting at Tierheim Linz in Linz.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nala, answered.

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