Adopt Collin, m, Freigang, geb. 08-2012

Mixed Breed · Female

Collin and his companion (or better: assistant?) Finley were surrendered due to private reasons. While Finley is still very shaken by the loss, Collin takes it with unshakable composure. Not only does Collin look like a man of the world, but his demeanor also matches that of an older gentleman in a suit, vest, hat, and cane, well-traveled, with excellent manners and too experienced to fuss over trifles. That Collin has a wild past became clear when his FIV test came back "positive." How he acquired it remains unknown. Perhaps he was unneutered and on the go for a longer period in his youth? We do not know and Collin remains silent on the matter. Nevertheless, Collin can have free roam after acclimation, as he is not dangerous to other cats. He can only transmit the infection through bodily fluid exchange, but he is, of course, already neutered and also very compatible with other cats. Collin and Finley are looking for a thriving, peaceful home together, where they can be offered comfortable reclining spots, careful petting hands, delicious food, and a regulated, uneventful daily routine. This cat needs outdoor access.

Collin und sein Freund (oder besser: Assistent?) Finley wurden aus privaten Gründen abgegeben. Während Finley aufgrund des Verlusts noch sehr durch den Wind ist, nimmt es Collin mit unerschütterlicher Gelassenheit. Nicht nur optisch ist Collin ein Mann von Welt, auch sein Wesen entspricht dem eines älteren Herrn mit Anzug, Weste, Hut und Spazierstock, weltgewandt, mit exzellenten Manieren und zu erfahren, um sich noch über Kleinigkeiten aufzuregen. Dass Collin eine wilde Vergangenheit verbirgt, wurde uns klar, als sein FIV-Test "positiv" anzeigte. Woher er das hat, bleibt unbekannt. Vielleicht war er in jungen Jahren längere Zeit unkastriert unterwegs? Wir wissen es nicht und Collin schweigt auch dazu. Dennoch darf Collin nach Eingewöhnung auch wieder Freigang haben, denn gefährlich ist er für andere Katzen nicht. Er kann die Infektion nur durch den Austausch von Körperflüssigkeiten weitergeben, aber er ist natürlich längst kastriert und zudem auch sehr verträglich mit anderen Katzen. Collin und Finley suchen gemeinsam ein gediegenes, ruhiges Zuhause, in dem man ihnen als älteren Herren schöne Liegeplätze, achtsame streichelnde Hände, leckeres Futter und einen geregelten, unaufgeregten Tagesablauf bietet.

Frequently asked

Adopting Collin, m, Freigang, geb. 08-2012, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Collin, m, Freigang, geb. 08-2012?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Collin, m, Freigang, geb. 08-2012 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Collin, m, Freigang, geb. 08-2012 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald 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 Collin, m, Freigang, geb. 08-2012 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 Collin, m, Freigang, geb. 08-2012 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 TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald early rather than rehoming privately; they know Collin, m, Freigang, geb. 08-2012 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.
