Nemo und Nils

European Shorthair · Male

Hello, we are Nemo (white/black) and Nils (black/white). We are two quiet boys in our prime, but not as playful as young kittens. If treats or playtime are involved, we will also get active. Or when evening falls, we get our wild five minutes and zip around the place once more. We wish for a nice quiet home. We will not be rehomed on a leash, for we are too timid. But a secure balcony would be great for us. We enjoy sniffing the fresh air and listening to all the sounds outside during the day, and especially at night. By the way, we love to be cuddled and scratched for as long as possible. However, until we are used to our new environment, we need a longer adjustment period. Then we slowly warm up. When visitors come, we need a place to retreat to for some alone time. Nils sometimes gets jealous when Nemo is scratched. The best would be to have four hands, so that each of us can get our fair share of attention when we need it. We are regularly dewormed, have a chip and a tattoo. Of course, we are already neutered, FIV and FelV negative, and otherwise in perfect health with top blood values and teeth (the ones we still have). You can meet us at the foster home in Bergisch Gladbach, just give us a call or drop by. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, wir sind Nemo (weiß/schwarz) und Nils (schwarz/weiß). Wir sind zwei ruhige Jungs im besten Alter, aber nicht mehr unglaublich verspielt wie junge Katzen. Wenn Baldrian oder Leckerchen mit im Spiel sind, werden wir auch aktiv. Oder wenn es Abend wird, dann bekommen wir unsere wilden fünf Minuten und flitzen nochmal so richtig durch die Gegend. Wir wünschen uns ein schönes ruhiges Zuhause. In Freigang werden wir nicht vermittelt, dafür sind wir zu schreckhaft. Aber über einen gesicherten Balkon würden wir uns sehr freuen. Wir genießen es, tagsüber und besonders auch nachts die frische Luft zu schnuppern und den ganzen Geräuschen da draußen zu lauschen. Übrigens lieben wir es zu kuscheln und gekrault zu werden, so lange wie möglich. Bis es soweit ist, brauchen wir aber eine längere Eingewöhnungszeit. Dann tauen wir langsam auf. Wenn Besuch kommt, brauchen wir eine Rückzugsmöglichkeit für uns ganz allein. Nils wird manchmal eifersüchtig, wenn Nemo gekrault wird. Am besten habt ihr vier Hände, damit jeder von uns genug ungetielte Aufmerksamkeit abbekommen kann, wenn wir sie gleichzeitig brauchen. Wir sind regelmäßig entwurmt, tragen einen Chip und Tattoo. Natürlich sind wir schon lange kastriert, FIV und FelV negativ getestet und auch sonst absolut gesund mit top Blutwerten und Zähnen (denen, die wir noch haben). Kennenlernen könnt Ihr uns auf der Pflegestelle in Bergisch Gladbach, dafür müsst Ihr nur unter oder anrufen.

About Nemo und Nils

What life with Nemo und Nils looks like

Nemo und Nils is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Straßenkatzen Köln e.V. in Köln.

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 Nemo und Nils, answered.

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