Nina

European Shorthair · Female

2023female black and white EKH outdoor Nina came to us with her two babies, whom she lovingly raised in the cat shelter. Apparently, she has had little contact with humans so far and is therefore still very anxious when we enter her room. She cannot be petted yet, but she shows no aggression, just hides. We are looking for a quiet home for Nina with people who can slowly earn her trust with patience and understanding.

Offensichtlich hatte sie bislang kaum Kontakt zu uns Menschen und ist daher momentan noch sehr ängstlich, wenn wir ihr Zimmer betreten. Sie zu streicheln ist noch nicht möglich, aber sie zeigt keinerlei Aggressionen, sondern versteckt sich einfach. Für Nina suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Menschen, die sich ihr Vertrauen mit Geduld und Verständnis langsam erarbeiten.

About Nina

What life with Nina looks like

Nina is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Katzenschutz Göppingen-Donzdorf in Donzdorf.

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 Nina, answered.

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