Nova

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Nova is a charming, approximately 2-year-old female cat with a strong will. Without it, she wouldn't have survived the last few weeks. Nova had to give birth to her kittens outside all alone, and the birth went wrong. When Nova was found, maggots had already eaten deep into her tissue. She had to undergo surgical treatment twice before her condition improved. Now, only Novas slightly bald rear end reminds her of that episode, otherwise, the pretty cat has fully recovered. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Nova ist eine bezaubernde, ca. 2 Jahre alte Katzendame mit einem starken Willen. Ohne diesen hätte sie die letzten Wochen auch nicht überstanden. Nova musste draußen ihre Kitten allein zur Welt bringen, und die Geburt ging schief. Als Nova gefunden wurde, hatten sich schon Maden tief in ihr Gewebe gefressen. 2 Mal musste die Wunde chirurgisch versorgt werden, bis sich ihr Zustand besserte. Jetzt erinnert nur noch Novas etwas kahles Hinterteil an die Episode, ansonsten hat sich die Hübsche wieder vollständig erholt. Nova wünscht sich ein Zuhause mit Freigang als Einzelprinzessin

About Nova

What life with Nova looks like

Nova is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Lahr in Lahr.

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. Tierheim Lahr 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 — Tierheim Lahr 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 Tierheim Lahr 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.
