Nanouk

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

Kontakt: Isabel Engelmann: Mail: Kater Nanouk, Nukki“ Wir müssen leider unseren Kater abgeben, da bei uns nun ein Baby wohnt und wir Nanouk aus unterschiedlichen Gründen nicht mehr gerecht werden könnten. Er ist menschenbezogen und innerlich eher wie eine Babykatze. Seine besonderen Verhaltensweisen können wir den neuen Besitzern gerne erklären. Dann sind schöne Kuschelstunden auf jeden Fall möglich! Besonderheiten: – taub Charakter: – durch die Taubheit braucht er Menschen die ihm Zuwendung schenken können – kennt Hundekontakt – eher Einzelkater! – nicht so gerne mit Kindern kombinieren – Wenn man seine Verhaltensweisen versteht: Kuschelig, schläft gerne bei einem im Bett mit Erziehung: – durfte im Bett schlafen – kann durch seine Taubheit laut sein (deshalb ungerne in anderen Räumen separieren, weil er meist durch das Bedürfnis schreit Aufmerksamkeit zu wollen). Freigänger: Nein ( nicht ohne Aufsicht. Wegen der Taubheit. Eher ein Hauskater). Krankheiten: – er nimmt Clomicalm zur Beruhigung. Der Kater kommt aus einer nicht so guten Zucht (Qualzucht?!). Ohne die Tabletten und mit zu wenig Menschenkontakt kratzt er sich oder pinkelt auf den Boden. Wir sind in der Not zeitnah ein neues Zuhause für ihn zu finden und wünschen uns so sehr liebevolle und Verständnisvolle neue Besitzer für unseren lieben Nukki.

About Nanouk

What life with Nanouk looks like

Nanouk is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Lübeck in Lübeck.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nanouk, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nanouk?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Lübeck handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nanouk on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nanouk if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Lübeck 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nanouk 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 Nanouk 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 Lübeck early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nanouk 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.
