How do I contact the shelter about Nora?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Bern handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nora on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nora if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhilfe Bern 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 Nora 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 Nora 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 Katzenhilfe Bern early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nora 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.

Nora

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

Nora is a calm, confident senior with her own unique personality. She knows exactly what she likes and prefers to take things at her own pace. Once she trusts you, she becomes curious and attentive. She especially loves being outdoors, exploring her surroundings. Nora isn’t a typical lap cat or cuddly companion, but she enjoys gentle head rubs. We are looking for people who appreciate her independent nature and accept her just as she is. Nora feels most comfortable as an only princess in a quiet home without children or dogs. Since birth, Nora has had a deformed left hind leg. However, she manages wonderfully with it, running, jumping, and moving around without any issues. The leg requires no special treatment or regular check-ups. We are seeking a home with access to green space in a quiet, low-traffic area or adjacent to agricultural land. Who will give this special female cat a loving home with understanding and freedom? She is neutered, leukemia-negative, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Nora ist eine ruhige, selbstbewusste Seniorin mit eigenem Charakter. Sie weiss genau, was sie mag und möchte in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen dürfen. Hat sie einmal Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt sie sich neugierig und aufmerksam. Besonders liebt sie es, draussen unterwegs zu sein und ihre Umgebung zu erkunden. Nora ist keine klassische Schmuse- oder Schosskatze, geniesst jedoch sanfte Streicheleinheiten am Kopf. Für sie suchen wir Menschen, die ihre selbstständige Art schätzen und sie so annehmen, wie sie ist. Am wohlsten fühlt sich Nora als Einzelprinzessin in einem ruhigen Zuhause ohne Kinder oder Hunde. Seit Geburt hat Nora hinten links ein deformiertes Bein. Sie kommt damit jedoch wunderbar zurecht. Sie läuft, springt und bewegt sich problemlos. Das Bein benötigt keine besondere Behandlung oder regelmässige Kontrollen. Gesucht wird ein Plätzli mit Freigang ins Grüne in verkehrsberuhigter Umgebung oder angrenzend an Landwirtschaftszone. Wer schenkt dieser besonderen Katzendame ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Verständnis und Freiraum? Sie ist kastriert, Leukose-negativ, geimpft, entwurmt und gechippt.

About Nora

What life with Nora looks like

Nora is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Bern in Katzenhilfe Bern.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
