How do I contact the shelter about Nala (externe Vermittlungshilfe)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Kolner Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation.

Can I adopt Nala (externe Vermittlungshilfe) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Kolner Tierschutzverein 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 (externe Vermittlungshilfe) 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 (externe Vermittlungshilfe) 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 Kolner Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nala (externe Vermittlungshilfe) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Nala (externe Vermittlungshilfe)

Maine Coon · Female · Adult · 9 years

Nala is a four-year-old female spayed cat. She is healthy and vaccinated. She is very affectionate, social and people-oriented. She loves human contact, enjoys being close to them and plays very well. Since Nala is very social and attached, I would like her to have a home where she gets a lot of attention and affection and doesn't regularly stay alone for long periods. The reason why I am giving up on her with a heavy heart is that it is especially important to me that Nala goes to a truly loving and permanent home. She is a very sensitive and attached cat, so I really want to avoid having to change her home again in the future. The people who take her should really love cats, consider her as a permanent family member and be willing to take responsibility for her permanently until the end of her life. I don't want to give Nala away quickly or to just anyone. It is very important to me to get to know the future family personally beforehand and to make sure that Nala will really be loved, receive enough attention and can stay there permanently.

Der Grund, warum ich schweren Herzens über eine Für mich ist besonders wichtig, dass Nala nur in ein wirklich liebevolles und endgültiges Zuhause vermittelt wird. Sie ist eine sehr sensible und anhängliche Katze, deshalb möchte ich unbedingt vermeiden, dass sie in Zukunft noch einmal ihr Zuhause wechseln muss. Die Menschen, die sie aufnehmen, sollten Katzen wirklich lieben, sie als festes Familienmitglied ansehen und bereit sein, die Verantwortung für sie dauerhaft und bis an ihr Lebensende zu übernehmen. Ich möchte Nala nicht schnell oder an irgendjemanden abgeben. Mir ist sehr wichtig, die zukünftige Familie vorher persönlich kennenzulernen und sicher zu sein, dass Nala dort wirklich geliebt wird, ausreichend Aufmerksamkeit bekommt und dauerhaft bleiben kann.
