Adopt Nova (reserviert)

Female · Senior · 17 years

Nova came to us because her owner passed away. She lived with another cat, with whom she unfortunately did not get along well. Nova is a typical, loving cat for her age, but she tends to "undergo" something at the animal shelter because she doesn't show herself as much when visitors come. We are urgently searching for a beautiful, quiet home for Nova with nice people who can read all her wishes from her eyes. She wishes for a home in a suitable apartment with a secured balcony – with people who have a lot of time for her and will stay by her side forever. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Nova kam zu uns, weil ihr Besitzer verstorben ist. Sie lebte zusammen mit einer anderen Katze, mit der sie sich leider nicht gut verstand. Nova ist eine für ihr Alter typische, liebe Katze, die im Tierheim etwas „untergeht”, weil sie sich nicht so viel zeigt, wenn Besucher kommen. Wir suchen ganz dringend ein schönes, ruhiges Zuhause für Nova bei netten Menschen, die ihr alle Wünsche von den Augen ablesen.Sie wünscht sich ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon – bei Menschen, die viel Zeit für sie haben und für immer an ihrer Seite bleiben.

About Nova (reserviert)

What life with Nova (reserviert) looks like

Nova (reserviert) is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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 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 (reserviert), answered.

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