Nelly

Female · Adult · 7 years

Diva Nelly is looking for a new territory! I am the Nelly! I came here as a found animal and am now on the hunt for a new home. I think I'm just fine, but the caretakers here claim I'm a Diva. Yeah, okay... sometimes the Diva in me comes out and I show you my boundaries. But if you give me a little nibble, the world is back in order. Otherwise, I need my space. Therefore, my new home should be more on the quiet side and there should be no other cats there. Kids would probably be too much for me. I love being petted, but if I don't feel like it anymore, I show you. I think that's pretty cat-like and okay. Otherwise, I'm rather low-maintenance. As long as I can go out in my new home after a settling-in period, I miss that a lot. So, who lives in a great quiet area and has a spot for a wonderful girl like me free? Get in touch with my caretakers quickly. They'll set you up on a date to meet me!

Diva Nelly sucht neuen Wirkungskreis! Ich bin die Nelly! ich kam als Fundtier hierher und bin nun auf der Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause. Ich finde, dass ich voll in Ordnung bin, aber die Pfleger hier behaupten, dass ich eine Diva bin. Ja gut... ab und zu kommt die Diva in mir raus und ich zeige Euch meine Grenzen. Gebt Ihr mir aber ein Knabberstängchen, ist die Welt wieder in Ordnung. Ansonsten brauche ich meine Rückzugsmöglichkeit. Daher sollte mein neues Zuhause eher ruhig sein und es sollten keine anderen Katzen dort leben. Kinder wären mir vermutlich auch zu viel. Ich lasse mich gerne streicheln, zeige Dir aber, wenn ich da keine Lust mehr drauf habe. Ich finde, das ist voll katzentypisch und in Ordnung. Ansonsten bin ich recht anspruchslos. Hauptsache, ich darf in meinem neuen Zuhause nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit wieder raus. Das vermisse ich nämlich sehr. Also, wer wohnt in einer tollen ruhigen Gegend und hat noch ein Plätzchen für eine tolle Mieze wie mich frei? Meldet Euch schnell bei meinen Pflegern. Die machen Euch dann ein Date zum Kennenlernen mit mir klar? Bis bald Eure Diva Nelly

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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, answered.

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