Nelly

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 7 months

The gentle kitten is not as daredevil as his brothers. With a watchful gaze, Nelly looks very carefully at her surroundings. He is happy to come for cuddles, preferring to snuggle up beside his people, where he takes a nap or watches his siblings at play. As soon as Nelly is old enough and settled in, she would like to have outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Das sanfte Kitten ist nicht so draufgängerisch wie seine Brüder. Mit wachem Blick schaut sich Nelly seine Umgebung ganz genau an. Gerne kommt er zum kuscheln, wobei er sich dabei am liebsten neben seinen Menschen schmiegt und dort ein Schläfchen hält oder seinen Geschwistern beim spielen zuschaut. Sobald Nelly alt genug ist und eingewöhnt ist möchte sie gerne Freigang.

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Crailsheim in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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 Crailsheim 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 Crailsheim 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Crailsheim 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.
