Nova

Female · Young · 3 years

Rasse: Europäisch Kurzhaar Geschlecht: weiblich Geburtsdatum: 08/2022 Farbe: grau-getigertDie beiden fast 4 Jahre alten Katzen Nova und Nini wurden am 08.07.2026 aufgrund von Umzug bei uns abgegeben. Die Schwestern wurden als Kitten in einer Gartenanlage eingefangen und im Herbst 2022 in ein gemeinsames Zuhause vermittelt. Dort lebten sie mit der Möglichkeit zum Freigang. Nova spielt sehr gerne, ist auch verschmust und kennt auch den Umgang mit älteren Kindern. Sie ist eine etwas schüchterne aber sehr loyale Katze und sucht eher eine ruhigen Haushalt. Da sich die beiden Schwestern immer wir gezankt haben – wobei der Streit eher von Nini ausging – wird eher ein Zuhause getrennt voneinander gesucht.

About Nova

What life with Nova looks like

Nova is a young adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

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 Nova, answered.

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