Adopt Oma

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 21 years

Oma the cat reached the proud age of 21 and remained a gentle soul until her passing. She brought us great joy and was a very loving cat. We are grateful to have accompanied her during her final stage of life and happy to have spent two years with her. She was surrendered to us at the age of 19.

About Oma

What life with Oma looks like

Oma is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Nordeifel e.V. in Bad Münstereifel.

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 Oma, answered.

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