How do I contact the shelter about Nelio?

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

Can I adopt Nelio if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Streunerglück e.V. 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 Nelio 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 Nelio 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 Streunerglück e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nelio 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.

Adopt Nelio

Mixed Breed · Male

In our stray village in Mostar. Nelio can travel to Germany in May and is still looking for a suitable foster or permanent home. Specials: Nelio is a house cat. Nelio had a great stroke of luck. A couple discovered him in very poor condition and didn't just leave him behind. They took him in, brought him to the vet, and gave him exactly what he needed most at that moment: help, time, and the chance to recover. And Nelio has shown what can happen when a small life finally gets the help it needs. Today, one can hardly guess how difficult his start must have been. His black-and-white fur, the clear marking on his face, his alert eyes, and his soft expression make him a truly handsome boy. But the most beautiful thing about Nelio is not just how much he has changed outwardly. It is what remains, even though he once had it so bad. Nelio is a tomcat who is facing life head-on. He is cuddly, seeks closeness, likes to play, and has something incredibly lovable about him. Not pushy or loud, but with that special way that shows: there is a heart that hasn't given up. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

In unserem Streunerdorf in Mostar. Nelio kann im Mai mit nach Deutschland reisen und sucht noch eine passende Pflege- oder Endstelle. Besonderheiten: Nelio ist eine Wohnungskatze. Nelio hatte großes Glück. Ein Paar entdeckte ihn in sehr schlechtem Zustand und ließ ihn nicht einfach zurück. Sie nahmen ihn mit, brachten ihn zum Tierarzt und gaben ihm damit genau das, was er in diesem Moment am dringendsten brauchte: Hilfe, Zeit und die Chance, wieder zu Kräften zu kommen. Und Nelio hat gezeigt, was möglich wird, wenn ein kleines Leben endlich Hilfe bekommt. Heute sieht man einen Kater, der kaum noch erahnen lässt, wie schwer sein Start gewesen sein muss. Sein schwarz-weißes Fell, die klare Zeichnung im Gesicht, diese wachen Augen sowie sein weicher Ausdruck machen ihn zu einem richtig hübschen Jungen. Aber das Schönste an Nelio ist nicht nur, wie sehr er sich äußerlich verändert hat. Es ist das, was geblieben ist, obwohl es ihm einmal so schlecht ging. Nelio ist ein Kater, der dem Leben wieder entgegengeht. Er ist verschmust, sucht Nähe, spielt gern und hat etwas unglaublich Liebes an sich. Nicht aufdringlich, nicht laut, sondern mit dieser besonderen Art, die einem zeigt: Da ist ein Herz, das nicht aufgegeben hat.

About Nelio

What life with Nelio looks like

Nelio is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Streunerglück e.V. in München.

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.
