How do I contact the shelter about Nebula?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Kreistierheim Böblingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nebula on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nebula if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Kreistierheim Böblingen 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 Nebula 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 Nebula 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 Kreistierheim Böblingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nebula 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.

Nebula

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 15 years

Our Nebula - Video Our Nebula being petted - Video Our Nebula is a curious and active cat who approaches people openly and enjoys making contact. She allows herself to be petted and appreciates attention, but she also clearly shows her limits. During play, Nebula is very temperamental and demonstrates a strong prey drive, occasionally chasing after people's legs. Therefore, careful play behavior and clear rules are important. Nebula seeks a home as a single princess and absolutely requires outdoor access. We assume that in a suitable home where she can vent her energy outside, she would be much more relaxed than in the stressful daily routine of the animal shelter. For Nebula, we are looking for a home with people who can read her body language, respect her needs, and approach her with patience and understanding. In the animal shelter, she unfortunately suffers greatly.

Unsere Nebula - Video Unsere Nebula beim Streicheln - Video Unsere Nebula sucht Kontakt - Video Unsere Nebula ist eine neugierige und aktive Katze, die offen auf Menschen zugeht und gerne Kontakt aufnimmt. Sie lässt sich streicheln und genießt Aufmerksamkeit, zeigt jedoch auch deutlich ihre Grenzen. Beim Spielen ist Nebula sehr temperamentvoll und zeigt ihren ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb. Dabei jagt sie gelegentlich die Beine von Menschen, weshalb ein umsichtiges Spielverhalten und klare Regeln wichtig sind. Nebula sucht ein Zuhause als Einzelprinzessin und benötigt unbedingt Freigang. Wir gehen davon aus, dass sie in einem passenden Zuhause mit der Möglichkeit, ihre Energie draußen abzubauen, deutlich entspannter sein kann als im stressigen Tierheimalltag. Für Nebula suchen wir ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihre Körpersprache lesen können, ihre Bedürfnisse respektieren und ihr mit Geduld und Verständnis begegnen. Im Tierheim leidet sie leider sehr.

About Nebula

What life with Nebula looks like

Nebula is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Kreistierheim Böblingen in Germany.

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.
