Nelly

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Nelly, born on 21.03.10, was Nelly's pet. The owner had to go to a care home and couldn't take Nelly with her. Nelly was always an outdoor cat and would like to become one again in a quieter living environment. She is healthy and fit despite her age and is now looking for a quiet place in a similar living environment. Seniors would be welcome. Children and a lot of hustle and bustle would overwhelm her. Who has the best last home for the active senior? Contact us via email to arrange an initial meeting! -9 { margin: auto; } -9 -9 img { border: 2px solid; }

Nelly, 21.03.10 geboren Nellys Besitzerin musste leider ins Pflegeheim, da konnte sie nicht mit. Nelly war immer Freigänger und möchte das in ruhiger Wohnlage auch wieder werden. Sie ist trotz ihres hohen Alters gesund und fit und sucht nun einen ruhigen Platz in ebensolcher Wohnlage. Gerne Senioren. Kinder und viel Trubel würden sie eher überfordern. Wer hat das beste letzte Zuhause für die aktive Seniorin? Meldet euch per E-Mail und vereinbart ein erstes Kennenlernen! -8 { margin: auto; } -8 -8 img { border: 2px solid ; } -8 /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Pirmasens in Pirmasens.

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 Pirmasens 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 Pirmasens 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 Pirmasens 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.
