Nuckel

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

Hello, you two-legged friends—I’m the sweet little Nuckel! With a heavy heart, my owner had to give me up to the animal shelter because, for health reasons, she could no longer care for me as much as she’d like. Now I’m hoping that I’ll once again be lucky enough to find a loving home. I’m more of a shy cat and need some time to build trust. But if you give me the peace and quiet I need, I’ll definitely warm up to you and show you just how sweet a guy I am. In my previous home, I enjoyed supervised outdoor access—and I’d really hate to give that up in the future. After all, there’s hardly anything better than leisurely strolling through meadows, exploring my surroundings, and soaking up the sun. Since I’m now part of the senior cat population, I’d love a calm household without small children, where I can spend my golden years in peace and relaxation. I’m rather reserved around other cats and tend to be quite submissive. So it would be great if an existing feline companion were also calm and friendly and wouldn’t overwhelm me too much. After all, I get along wonderfully with the laid-back cats and tomcats here at the cat house. If you’d like to give a sweet, shy fellow like me a few more wonderful years, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with my caregivers. I’m looking forward to meeting you! Your Nuckel

Hallo ihr Zweibeiner, ich bin der süße Nuckel! Schweren Herzens musste mich meine Besitzerin im Tierheim abgeben, da sie sich aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr so um mich kümmern konnte, wie sie es sich gewünscht hätte. Nun hoffe ich, dass ich noch einmal das Glück habe, ein liebevolles Zuhause zu finden. Ich bin eher ein schüchterner Kater und brauche etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Wenn ihr mir die Ruhe gebt, die ich brauche, werde ich bestimmt auftauen und euch zeigen, was für ein lieber Kerl ich bin. In meinem bisherigen Zuhause durfte ich gesicherten Freigang genießen, und darauf möchte ich auch in Zukunft nur ungern verzichten. Es gibt schließlich kaum etwas Schöneres, als gemütlich durch die Wiesen zu streifen, die Umgebung zu erkunden und die Sonne zu genießen.Da ich inzwischen zum älteren Semester gehöre, wünsche ich mir einen ruhigen Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder, in dem ich meinen Lebensabend entspannt verbringen kann. Mit anderen Katzen bin ich eher zurückhaltend und zeige mich recht unterwürfig. Deshalb wäre es schön, wenn eine bereits vorhandene Samtpfote ebenfalls ruhig und freundlich ist und mich nicht zu sehr bedrängt. Mit den gelassenen Katzen und Katern hier im Katzenhaus komme ich nämlich gut zurecht. Wenn ihr einem lieben, schüchternen Kerlchen wie mir noch ein paar schöne Jahre schenken möchtet, dann meldet euch gerne bei meinen Pflegern. Ich freue mich darauf, euch kennenzulernen! Euer Nuckel
