Nelly &#038

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Milly and Nelly, both 8 years old, are two exceptionally beautiful cats looking for a new home. Milly, the sweet black one, is more shy, while Nelly, the bold black and white one, is very approachable. Their owner is reluctantly parting with his beloved ones because he is suffering from a long-term illness and can currently only provide them with minimal care. He wishes more than anything that the two playmates may stay together. A home with a secure balcony would be wonderful.

Milly und Nelly – beide 8 Jahre alt – sind zwei außergewöhnlich schöne Katzen, die dringend ein neues Zuhause suchen. Milly, die süße Schwarze, ist eher schüchtern, hingegen Nelly – die kecke Schwarz/Weiße sehr zugänglich ist. Ihr Besitzer muss sich schweren Herzens von seinen Lieben trennen, da er an einer langwierigen Krankheit leidet und die beiden Schnurrkätzchen momentan nur notdürftig versorgen kann. Er wünscht sich nicht sehnlicher, als dass die beiden Spielgefährtinnen zusammen bleiben dürfen. Ein Zuhause mit einem gesicherten Balkon wäre wunderbar.

About Nelly &#038

What life with Nelly &#038 looks like

Nelly &#038 is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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. 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 Nelly &#038, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nelly &#038?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nelly &#038 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nelly &#038 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Franken 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 Nelly &#038 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 Nelly &#038 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nelly &#038 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.
