Nick

Male · Kitten

Nick is a high-energy kitten who needs a home with plenty of excitement and adventure. He's too small for the shelter and craves action around the clock. We're looking for a loving home with a secure balcony and a young cat already living there. Nick also needs a second cat and lots of human interaction. If you're interested in adopting Nick, please send us a detailed email.

Wer Nick zu sich nach Hause holt, sollte kein Langweiler sein. Dem kleinen „Spinner“ ist das Tierheim viel zu klein. Er will Abenteuer erleben und Action – und das am liebsten rund um die Uhr. Wir suchen für ihn ein schönes Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon, in dem bereits eine junge Katze auf ihn wartet. Neben einer Zweitkatze braucht Nick auch noch jede Menge menschliche Bespaßung. Wenn Sie sich für die Adoption von Nick interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Nick

What life with Nick looks like

Nick is a small puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

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. 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 Nick, answered.

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