Adopt Nala

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Nala is a beautiful tortoiseshell female cat who unfortunately wasn't happy anymore after a move. That's why she came to us at our shelter, so we can now find her the right place. Nala is a sensitive cat who needs a calm and stable environment to really thrive. She is very gentle and loves cuddles but doesn't like sharing them with other cats, so she needs a single place where her new humans can give her plenty of time. It's also important that she has enough retreat options and can make her own decisions about when she wants to be alone. Despite this, she also seeks the proximity of humans and enjoys affectionate attention as soon as she feels safe. We wish Nala a home in an apartment with a secured balcony or a secured garden, so she can safely enjoy fresh air and exciting observation opportunities. Do you think you are the right person for Nala or would you like to get to know her better?. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Nala ist eine wunderschöne getigerte Katzendame, die nach einem Umzug leider nicht mehr glücklich war. Deshalb kam sie zu uns ins Tierheim, damit wir nun den passenden Platz für sie finden können. Nala ist eine sensible Katze, die ein ruhiges und stabiles Umfeld braucht, um wirklich anzukommen. Sie ist sehr sanft und liebt ihre Streicheleinheiten und mocht diese mit anderen Katzen nicht teilen, weshalb sie einen Einzelplatz braucht wo ihre neuen Menschen ihr viel Zeit schenken können. Wichtig ist aber auch, dass sie genügend Rückzugsmöglichkeiten hat und selbst entscheiden kann, wann sie ihre Ruhe möchte. Trotzdem sucht sie auch die Nähe zu Menschen und genießt liebevolle Aufmerksamkeit, sobald sie sich sicher fühlt. Für Nala wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon oder einem gesicherten Garten, damit sie frische Luft und spannende Beobachtungsmöglichkeiten sicher genießen kann. Sie meinen, Sie sind der richtige Mensch für Nala oder möchten sie näher kennenlernen? Dann nehmen Sie mit dem

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein für Tirol in Innsbruck.

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; 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. Tierschutzverein für Tirol 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 — Tierschutzverein für Tirol 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 Tierschutzverein für Tirol 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.
