Felix

Male

Felix has put our area in an uproar. He felt so comfortable there that he defended his territory with his life, which of course made some of the cats feel the consequences. The old lady who fed Felix could do nothing about Felix's behavior, so we at this breed animal shelter had to step in for help. A few months ago, the "half stray" was already neutered, microchipped, and treated for parasites by us. But this did not lead to the desired result that he would leave his rivals alone. Felix had to leave his territory and is now on new paths, in a loving foster home, searching for a new domain. Felix has already built trust with his foster parent and has taken over the bed. After all, it is cozy and comfortable there. And that pleases us all, especially! Sometimes one has to break camp to start anew somewhere else. So we wish the same for Felix, who has now been given a name, so that he can soon only be "happy" and loved through his cat life.

DE·Show original

Felix hat ganz Wierschem in Aufregung versetzt. Er fühlte sich dort so wohl, dass er sein Territorium bis aufs Blut verteidigte, was natürlich einige Katzen zu spüren bekommen haben. Die alte Dame, die Felix fütterte, konnte natürlich auch nichts für Felix Verhalten, sodass wir als Tierheim um Hilfe gebeten wurden. Vor wenigen Monaten wurde der "halbe Streuner" schon durch uns kastriert, gechipt und gegen Parasiten behandelt. Doch dies führte nicht zum gewünschten Erfolg, dass er seine Rivalen in Ruhe ließ. Felix musste sein Revier verlassen und geht nun auf neuen Wegen, in einer lieben Pflegestelle, auf die Suche nach einem neuen Hoheitsgebiet. Felix hat schon Vertrauen zu seinem Pflegefrauchen aufgebaut und das Bett erobert. Schließlich ist es dort kuschelig und gemütlich. Und das freut uns alle ganz besonders! Manchmal muss man seine Zelte abbrechen, um woanders neu anzufangen. So wünschen wir es auch Felix, der seinen Namen bekommen hat, damit er bald nur noch "glücklich" und geliebt durch sein Katzenleben gehen darf.

About Felix

What life with Felix looks like

Felix is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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, answered.

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