Nico

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! The awesome Nico found its spot quickly! His story: Nico – from the roadside back to life. In the middle of an icy night, Nico, now approximately 2 years old, was found by an older lady – injured, bloodied, and nearly frozen, he lay motionless on the roadside in the snow. She did not hesitate for a second and called our local helpers for help. His condition was shocking: full of fleas, dirty, and seemingly exposed. The vet found that Nico was likely hit by a car and additionally bitten by dogs. How long he had to endure this and where he originally came from, we do not know – but we knew immediately: This brave tomcat must get a second chance. For four long months, he was intensively medically treated and taken in on an inpatient basis. Today, all his wounds have healed – both externally and in his heart, he is ready for a new chapter. In his foster home, Nico shows himself openly and friendly towards people. He gets along very well with his fellow animals. Whether he can live together with a cat-friendly dog is unfortunately hard to assess based on his terrible experience. Now, Nico is searching for a loving, safe home where he will never again experience cold, hunger, or fear. Whoever gives him their heart will receive a grateful companion for life. For his travel arrangements, Nico, like all our cats and toms, is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas. And he is tested for FIV and FeLV.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen!Der tolle Nico hat schnell sein Plätzchen gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Nico – vom Straßenrand ins Leben zurück. Mitten in einer eiskalten Nacht wurde Nico, jetzt ca. 2 Jahre alt, von einer älteren Dame gefunden – verletzt, blutverschmiert und fast erfroren, lag er reglos am Straßenrand im Schnee. Sie zögerte keine Sekunde und rief unsere Helfer vor Ort zur Hilfe. Sein Zustand war erschütternd: voller Flöhe, schmutzig und allem Anschein nach ausgesetzt. Der Tierarzt stellte fest, dass Nico vermutlich von einem Auto angefahren und zusätzlich von Hunden gebissen worden war. Wie lange er so ausharren musste und woher er ursprünglich kam, wissen wir nicht – doch wir wussten sofort: Dieser tapfere Kater muss eine zweite Chance bekommen. Vier lange Monate wurde er intensiv medizinisch versorgt und stationär aufgenommen. Heute sind alle seine Wunden verheilt – sowohl äußerlich als auch im Herzen ist er wieder bereit für ein neues Kapitel. In seiner Pflegestelle zeigt sich Nico offen und freundlich gegenüber Menschen. Mit seinen Artgenossen versteht er sich sehr gut. Ob er mit einem katzenverträglichen Hund zusammenleben kann, lässt sich nach seiner schlimmen Erfahrung leider schwer einschätzen. Jetzt sucht Nico ein liebevolles, sicheres Zuhause, in dem er nie wieder Kälte, Hunger oder Angst erleben muss. Wer ihm sein Herz schenkt, bekommt einen dankbaren Gefährten fürs Leben. Bei seiner Ausreise ist Nico, wie all unsere Katzen und Kater, kastriert, gechippt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Und wird auf FIV und FeLV getestet. Auch seinen EU-Heimtierausweis packt er ins Köfferchen und kann nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 250 Euro in sein neues Zuhause ziehen. Vielen Dank Familie O, dass ihr mit eurer Namenspatenschaft zu Nicos

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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 Nico, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nico?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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 — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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.
