Nico

Male · Kitten · 4 months

Toni and Nico are two beautiful, slender young male cats who arrived at our shelter with their siblings Sammy and Kim as strays. All four are still quite fearful when strangers enter their room. However, they are also lively and curious, so with enough attention they will soon be approachable. We are looking for cat lovers without young children for Toni and Nico, their new family should give them enough time to settle in and not overwhelm them. Toni and Nico will be rehomed either together or with one of their siblings in a spacious apartment with plenty of stimulation. Spaying/neutering is required.

DE·Show original

Toni und Nico sind zwei wunderschöne grazile Jungkater, sie kamen gemeinsam mit ihren Geschwistern Sammy und Kim als Findlinge in unser Tierheim. Alle vier zeigen sich momentan noch recht ängstlich, wenn Fremde ihr Zimmer betreten. Da sie aber auch lebhaft und neugierig sind, werden sie bei ausreichender Beschäftigung bald zugänglich sein. Wir wünschen uns für Toni und Nico Katzenfreunde ohne kleine Kinder, ihre neue Familie soll den beiden genug Zeit zum Einleben geben und sie nicht bedrängen. Toni und Nico werden entweder gemeinsam oder mit einem ihrer Geschwister in geräumige Wohnungshaltung mit ausreichender Beschäftigung vermittelt. Spätere Kastration ist verpflichtend.

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Bocholt in Bocholt.

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 Nico, answered.

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