Nikki

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Nikki ♂️, a black and white cat, is looking for a home! 🍀 🐱 Age: approximately 1.5 years 🎂 Estimated birth date: approximately February 2025 🐈‍⬛ Coat color: black and white 👀 Eye color: green ✂️ Neutered: yes 🏡 Housing: indoor, with secure outdoor access 🚾 Housebroken: yes 🚗 Circumstances of discovery: Nikki was given to the animal shelter as a helpless found animal. Unfortunately, we do not know his history. 💚 Character: Nikki is partially unsure and shy due to his deafness and needs people who meet him with patience and understanding. A already existing, confident second cat would be especially nice for him, as it would give him security and help him find his way in his new home. 🐾 Special: Nikki is deaf or currently does not hear or does not hear well. The cause is benign polyps in his ears. Whether he can hear better after a possible removal of the polyps is currently unfortunately not certain. Now the handsome cat is looking for a loving and quiet home, where he can arrive and trust. ❤️ 📜

Ich suche ein Zuhause! 🍀 🐱 Name: Nikki ♂️ Geschlecht: Kater 🎂 Geschätztes Geburtsdatum: ca. Februar 2025 🐈‍⬛ Fellfarbe: Schwarz-Weiß 👀 Augenfarbe: Grün ✂️ Kastriert: Ja 🏡 Haltungsform: Wohnungshaltung, gerne mit gesichertem Freigang 🚾 Stubenrein: Ja 🚗 Fundumstände: Nikki wurde als als hilfloses Fundtier in die Obhut des Tierschutzes gegeben. Seine Vorgeschichte kennen wir daher leider nicht. 💚 Charakter: Nikki ist aufgrund seiner Gehörlosigkeit teilweise etwas unsicher und scheu und braucht Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld und Verständnis begegnen. Eine bereits vorhandene, souveräne Zweitkatze wäre für ihn besonders schön, da sie ihm Sicherheit geben und dabei helfen kann, sich in seinem neuen Zuhause zurechtzufinden. 🐾 Besonderes: Nikki ist taub bzw. hört aktuell nicht oder nicht gut. Ursache hierfür sind gutartige Polypen in seinen Ohren. Ob er nach einer möglichen Entfernung der Polypen wieder besser hören kann, lässt sich derzeit leider nicht sicher sagen. Nun sucht der hübsche Kater ein liebevolles und ruhiges Zuhause, in dem er ankommen und Vertrauen fassen darf. ❤️ 📜

About Nikki

What life with Nikki looks like

Nikki is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Mutig Tierschutz e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nikki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nikki?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mutig Tierschutz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nikki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nikki if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Mutig Tierschutz 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nikki 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 Nikki 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 Mutig Tierschutz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nikki 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.
