Nala

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Nala is initially a bit cautious and prefers to observe new people from a safe distance. However, as trust grows, her playful side quickly emerges. She is particularly responsive to a fishing pole toy. Then, the reserved little cat lady transforms into a curious and lively play mouse, chasing after the toy with great enthusiasm. We are looking for people with patience and a gentle touch for Nala, who will give her the time she needs to adjust. A social second cat would also be wonderful for her, as cats have more fun together.

DE·Show original

Nala ist anfangs noch ein wenig vorsichtig und schaut sich neue Menschen lieber erst einmal aus sicherer Entfernung an. Doch wenn das Vertrauen wächst, kommt schnell ihre verspielte Seite zum Vorschein. Mit einer Spielangel kann man bei ihr besonders gut punkten. Dann wird aus der zurückhaltenden kleinen Katzendame eine neugierige und aufgeweckte Spielemaus, die voller Freude hinter dem Spielzeug herjagt. Für Nala suchen wir Menschen mit Geduld und einem ruhigen Händchen, die ihr die nötige Zeit zum Ankommen geben. Eine soziale Zweitkatze wäre für sie ebenfalls wunderbar, denn gemeinsam macht das Katzenleben einfach noch mehr Spaß.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

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 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; fees typically range €150–€350.

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 Arche Noah 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 Arche Noah 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 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 Arche Noah 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.
