How do I contact the shelter about Nala?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Paderborn 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 Paderborn 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 Paderborn 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.

Nala

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Senior · 13 years

We reluctantly and with a heavy heart must give up our cat "Nala" to loving hands as soon as possible because we are moving into a new apartment on August 1st and unfortunately cannot take her with us there. She is 13 years old, but has no complaints and was always regularly at the vet. She is spayed and litter trained. Nala is initially a somewhat shy cat who loves to cuddle and be petted. She is rather sensitive and also needs some time alone. We wish for her a home where she can stay for the rest of her life and simply be grandma. She is very attached to people and it would be nice if she doesn't have to be alone so much. Currently, she lives with a second cat and has never been outside before, which is why we give her up as an indoor cat only. Scratching post, litter box, bowls, toys etc. can be taken on request. If you are interested or have questions, please feel free to contact us at:

Notgedrungen und schweren Herzens müssen wir unsere Katze „Nala“ möglichst schnell in liebevolle Hände abgeben, da wir zum 01.08 in eine neue Wohnung ziehen und wir sie dort leider nicht mitnehmen dürfen. Sie ist 13 Jahre alt, hat aber keinerlei Beschwerden und war immer regelmäßig beim Tierarzt. Sie ist kastriert und stubenrein.Nala ist anfangs eine etwas schüchterne Katze die es aber liebt zu kuscheln und gestreichelt zu werden. Sie ist eher sensibel und braucht auch mal ihre Ruhe. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause wo sie den Rest ihres Lebens bleiben kann und einfach Oma sein darf. Sie ist sehr Menschenbezogen und es wäre schön wenn sie nicht so viel alleine sein muss. Aktuell lebt sie mit einer zweiten Katze zusammen und war bisher noch nie draußen, weshalb wir sie als reine Hauskatze abgeben. Kratzbaum, Katzentoilette, Näpfe, Spielzeug etc. können auf Wunsch mitgenommen werden. Bei Interesse und Frage einfach gerne melden unter: oder

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
