Noelle

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Nena and her daughter Noelle do not want much to do with people and are therefore looking for a home as barn cats. In return for food and warm sleeping spots, they will keep the property free of unwanted small house and yard intruders. It would be important to have the possibility to keep the cats confined for a period of time (about 3-4 weeks), for example in a barn, hayloft, saddle room, or similar, so that the two know where they belong and will be taken care of. The barn, or also the stable, should not be located near a main road, but rather in a more quiet place.

DE·Show original

Nena und ihre Tochter Noelle wollen nicht viel von Menschen wissen und suchen daher ein Zuhause als Hofkatzen. Zum Dank für Futter und warme Schlafplätzchen halten sie dann den Hof frei von eher ungewollten kleinen Haus- und Hofbesetzern. Wichtig wäre die Möglichkeit, die Katzen zum Eingewöhnen erst einmal eine Zeitlang (ca. 3-4 Wochen) einsperren zu können, z.B. im Stall, Tenne, Sattelkammer, oder Ähnliches, damit die Beiden wissen, wo sie hingehören und versorgt werden. Hof, oder auch Stall sollten nicht in direkter Hauptstrassen Nähe liegen, sondern eher ruhig gelegen sein.

About Noelle

What life with Noelle looks like

Noelle is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Elmshorn in Elmshorn.

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 Noelle, answered.

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