Felix 2

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Felix rarely comes alone…Hardly had Felix moved in with us when we were already asked to take in another very old cat. His owner is severely ill and can no longer care for him. So, Felix Number 2 had to leave his familiar home on his old age and moved in with us. It is not hard to see that the old gentleman is not coping well with this move. Moves are always a trauma for cats, and older animals are hit especially hard. Even though we try our best to make him feel at home, the sadness is deep, and it will take some time for him to settle in. We have our best food ready, and thankfully, he eats quite well, at least one less worry. When we noticed during the handover that Felix looks rather emaciated, we did not want to waste any time and took him to the vet right away. It was determined that the old cat suffers from a thyroid dysfunction, kidney weakness, and high blood pressure. Now, we need to change his diet and somehow get the tablets into him. Unfortunately, he is very skilled at sorting them out, and the pink pills are quickly placed next to the food bowl. If we crush them, he refuses to eat at all. So, now we have to try! Liverwurst, butter, cream… somehow it has to work!

Ein Felix kommt selten allein…Kaum war Felix bei uns eingezogen, wurden wir schon wieder um die Aufnahme eines sehr alten Katerchens gebeten. Seine Besitzerin ist schwer erkrankt und kann ihn nicht mehr versorgen. Also musste auch Felix Nummer 2 auf seine alten Tage sein gewohntes Zuhause verlassen und zog bei uns ein. Es ist ihm unschwer anzusehen, dass der alte Herr mit diesem Umzug nicht so gut klar kommt. Umzüge sind für Katzen ja immer ein Graus und alte Tiere trifft es besonders hart. Auch wenn wir uns noch so viel Mühe geben, die Trauer sitzt tief und es wird einige Zeit dauern, bis er sich eingelebt hat. Wir haben unser bestes Futter rausgesucht und glücklicherweise frisst er ganz gut, wenigstens eine Sorge weniger. Da uns bei der Übergabe gleich auffiel, dass Felix ziemlich abgemagert aussieht, wollten wir keine Zeit verlieren und suchten mit ihm gleich den Tierarzt auf. Hier wurde festgestellt, dass das alte Tierchen an einer Schilddrüsenüberfunktion, einer Nierenschwäche und unter Bluthochdruck leidet. Nun heißt es das Futter umstellen und die Tabletten irgendwie in ihn hineinbekommen. Er ist leider super geschickt im Aussortieren und so liegen die rosa Pillen schnell neben dem Futternapf. Zerkleinert man sie, nimmt er erst gar kein Futter an. Also heißt es jetzt probieren! Leberwurst, Butter, Sahne….irgendwie muss es doch klappen! Letschow, im Juli 2021

About Felix 2

What life with Felix 2 looks like

Felix 2 is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. in Schwaan / OT Letschow.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪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 Felix 2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Felix 2?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Felix 2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Felix 2 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Kleiner Gnadenhof 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 Felix 2 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 Felix 2 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 Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Felix 2 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.
