How do I contact the shelter about Nala?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn 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 Quellenhof Passbrunn 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 Nala already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs 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 Quellenhof Passbrunn 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Adopt Nala

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Nala and Gismo came to us at our shelter due to a bereavement. The two cat friends have experienced a lot of loss in a short time and had to get used to many new situations. Nala is rather shy and needs Gismo more often than she needs to be needed. At the moment, she hides a lot in the scratching posts and hardly comes out during the day. She gets along well with the other cats in the room but prefers to keep to herself and doesn't want to draw attention. At the moment, she is not seeking the company of Gismo, but she can still be enjoyed when stroked by us and sometimes even enjoys it. For Nala and Gismo, we are looking for a suitable home for apartment living or a home with a secure outdoor area, if they are rehomed individually. The two also know dogs and lived with one for a while. We would like for them to have a home with older children, as they need time and peace to settle in.

Nala und Gismo kamen aufgrund eines Sterbefalls zu uns ins Tierheim. Die beiden Katzenfreunde haben in kurzer Zeit viel Verlust erlebt und mussten sich an viele neue Situationen gewöhnen. Nala ist eher schüchtern und braucht Gismo öfter als er sie. Zurzeit versteckt sie sich viel in den Kratzbäumen und kommt tagsüber kaum heraus. Mit den anderen Katzen im Zimmer versteht sie sich gut, hält sich aber lieber zurück und will nicht auffallen. Im Moment sucht sie auch nicht die Nähe von Gismo, lässt sich aber von uns streicheln und kann es manchmal sogar genießen. Für Nala und Gismo suchen wir ein gemeinsames Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung oder ein Zuhause mit sicherem Freigang, falls sie einzeln vermittelt werden. Die beiden kennen auch Hunde und lebten zeitweise mit einem zusammen. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause mit größeren Kindern, da sie Zeit und Ruhe brauchen, um anzukommen.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a young adult european shorthair dog waiting at Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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.
