Adopt Nellie

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 3 years

Nellie has just arrived at the animal shelter and we are still getting to know her. So far, the female spends most of her time in the den but begins to spin and roll around when we put our hands in to her and start a cuddling session. Therefore, we are looking for a home with patience and calmness so Nellie can blossom and gain a bit more self-confidence.

Nellie er lige landet på internatet og vi er derfor stadig ved at lære hende at kende. Indtil videre opholder hun sig mest i hulerne men begynder at spinde og rulle rundt når vi stikker hænderne ind til hende og starter en kælesession op. Derfor søger vi på Nellies vegne et hjem med tålmodighed og ro så Nellie kan blomstre og få lidt mere selvtillid.

About Nellie

What life with Nellie looks like

Nellie is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Kattens Vaern in Kattens Vaern.

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 Denmark

Danish shelters follow EU pet passport rules and require an adoption contract. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nellie, answered.

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