Nala

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

female Abandoned/Foster or suitable for apartment living with secured outdoor access Born 18.03.2021 Bengal cat neutered yes / [] no In the animal shelter since 07.05.2026 ________________________ We test every cat with a quick test for FIV ("Cat AIDS", more info here!) and FeLV ("Cat Leukemia", more info here!) and clarify the status. We inform about the risk of FIP (""Belly Flu""). ________________________ Nala came to us after initially being left at the old house during a move. Although she was still being cared for there, she was otherwise completely alone and out in the open. Currently, she resides on one of our foster placements (near Stadtallendorf) and can be visited by appointment (contact the animal shelter). The five-year-old, slender Bengal shows herself to be affectionate and people-oriented, is typically very "chatty" and enjoys the company of humans. She is playful, but not overly active, and would certainly appreciate clicker training as mental stimulation. Nala knows what she likes and what she doesn't, but she is "polite" and charming. Unfortunately, Nala has very clear problems with other cats and is not at all enthusiastic, but rather irritated and stressed, even towards another Bengal cat. Therefore, she is looking for a home without fellow animals, but she does know how to live with a dog and could certainly become friends with a nice dog that shows her respect. Nala knows outdoor access, but through the months she spent out at the abandoned house, she no longer seems to have much joy in the outdoors. She can be offered outdoor access in a cat-friendly environment, but should be able to use a secure balcony or larger run at least. We are very happy to be able to accompany Nala on her journey to a loving and responsible home that will take a lot of time for her and will be happy together with her. ________________________ (As of 08.06.2026) (Click on the images to see them in full size!) The description reflects the current status, but we reserve the right to make changes or new assessments. It can always happen that an animal shows or develops differently due to changing circumstances both in the animal shelter and in the new home. Tags:.

weiblich Abgabetier/Freigang oder Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Freigang Geboren 18.03.2021 Bengalkatze Kastriert ja / [] nein Im Tierheim seit 07.05.2026 ________________________ Wir testen jede Katze per Schnelltest auf FIV („Katzen-Aids“, Infos hier!) und FeLV („Katzen-Leukose“, Infos hier!) und klären über den Status auf. Wir informieren hier über das Risiko einer FIP-Erkrankung („Bauchfellentzündung“). ________________________ Nala kam zu uns, nachdem sie zunächst beim Umzug am alten Haus zurückgelassen worden war. Sie wurde dort zwar weiterhin versorgt, war ansonsten aber ganz alleine und draußen unterwegs. Aktuell wohnt sie auf einer unserer Pflegestellen (in der Nähe von Stadtallendorf) und kann dort nach Terminabsprache (Kontakt über das Tierheim) besucht werden. Die fünfjährige, zierliche Bengalin zeigt sich lieb und menschenbezogen, ist rassetypisch sehr „gesprächig“ und freut sich, Gesellschaft durch den Menschen genießen zu können. Sie ist verspielt, ist dabei aber nicht übermäßig aktiv, würde sich aber bestimmt z.B. über Clicker-Training als mentale Auslastung freuen. Nala weiß, was sie mag und was nicht, ist dabei aber „höflich“ und charmant. Mit anderen Katzen hat Nala leider sehr deutliche Probleme und zeigt sich – auch einem anderen Bengalkater gegenüber – überhaupt nicht begeistert, sondern sehr gereizt und gestresst. Sie sucht daher ein Zuhause ohne Artgenossen, kennt aber das Zusammenleben mit Hund und könnte sich ganz bestimmt mit einem netten Hund, der sich ihr gegenüber respektvoll zeigt, sogar richtig anfreunden. Nala kennt Freigang, scheint aber durch die Monate, die sie draußen am verlassenen Haus verleben musste, keine große Freude mehr an der Außenwelt zu haben. Sie kann gerne Freigang in katzengerechter Umgebung angeboten bekommen, sollte aber mindestens einen sicheren Balkon/größeren Freisitz nutzen können. Wir freuen uns sehr, Nala nun auf dem Weg in ein liebe- und verantwortungsvolles Zuhause begleiten zu dürfen, das sich viel Zeit für sie nimmt und gemeinsam mit ihr glücklich wird. ________________________ (Stand 08.06.2026) (Bilder anklicken um sie in voller Größe zu sehen!) Die Beschreibung gibt den aktuellen Stand wieder, Änderungen oder Neueinschätzungen behalten wir uns aber vor. Es kann immer passieren, dass ein Tier sich aufgrund veränderter Umstände sowohl hier im Tierheim als auch im neuen Zuhause anders zeigt oder anders entwickelt.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Marburg in Marburg.

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 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.

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 Marburg 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 Marburg 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 Marburg 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.
