Adopt Nano

British Shorthair · Male · Senior · 14 years

Nano kam als Sicherstellung zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun ist der Maunzieur auf der suche nach einem neuen Für-immer-Zuhause. Nano ist ein lieber, schmusiger und freundlicher Kater, der ein ruhiges und liebevolles Zuhause sucht. Er ist stubenrein, sehr menschenbezogen und liebt die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen. Nano genießt Kuschelstunden und begleitet seine Menschen gerne durch den Alltag. Der verschmuste Kater kennt andere Katzen und kommt mit ihnen zurecht. Trotz seiner ruhigen Art ist er sehr anhänglich und sucht aktiv die Nähe zu Menschen. Besonders charmant macht ihn sein kleines Handicap: Nano hat keine Zähne mehr, weshalb seine Zunge manchmal ein kleines Stück herausragt – was ihm einen ganz besonderen und liebenswerten Ausdruck verleiht. Für Nano wird ein Zuhause ohne Hunde gesucht. Kleinkinder sollten ebenfalls nicht im Haushalt leben, damit er die Ruhe bekommt, die er braucht. Eine entspannte Umgebung, in der viel Zeit für Nähe und Kuscheleinheiten bleibt, wäre ideal für ihn. Da Nano spezielles Nierenfutter benötigt, sollten seine neuen Menschen bereit sein, auf seine Ernährung zu achten und ihn liebevoll zu versorgen. Er wünscht sich Menschen mit großem Herzen, die einem besonders verschmusten und treuen Kater ein warmes Zuhause schenken möchten. Wenn sie Nano ein neues Zuhause schenken möchten, schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). 12.05.2026 (kw)

About Nano

What life with Nano looks like

Nano is a large senior british shorthair cat waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nano, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nano?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hamburger Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nano on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nano if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger 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 Nano 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 Nano 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nano 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.
