Nikki

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 12 years

Ich bin eine liebenswerte, ältere Dame, die über eine externe Tierarztpraxis ins Tierheim kam, weil mir in dieser Praxis nach einem Hundeangriff das Leben gerettet wurde. Ich bin total verschmust und sehr lieb, jedoch mag ich mittlerweile keine Hunde mehr! Ob ich Artgenossen mag, ist leider noch nicht bekannt. Ich bin eine Freilaufkatze und möchte auch wieder unbedingt raus, vielleicht in einer hundearmen Gegend… Wer hat ein riesengroßes Herz für mich? Ich freu mich auf eine (oder vielleicht sogar viele?) Adoptionsanfragen!

About Nikki

What life with Nikki looks like

Nikki is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Regensburg in Regensburg.

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 Nikki, answered.

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