Felix

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 16 years

Felix was dropped off with us because the owners unfortunately can no longer take care of him. In essence, he is a friendly tomcat, but the animal shelter stress just doesn't seem to agree with him. He is approachable but is currently also a bit shy around us. He comes out for food, but otherwise, he tends to stay rather hidden in the room. Of course, there are also other cats there with whom he doesn't really want to interact. In his home, he was likely a nice, well-socialized tomcat who also spent a lot of time outdoors, which he probably misses. We think that with a stable home, he will become more outgoing and very friendly again. Felix would be happy to meet you once at the animal shelter. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

DE·Show original

Felix wurde bei uns abgegeben, da die Besitzer sich leider nicht mehr um ihn kümmern konnte. An sich ist er ein freundlicher Kater, dem der Tierheim-Stress leider einfach nicht so bekommt. Er ist umgänglich aber momentan auch noch etwas scheu uns gegenüber. Zum Fressen kommt er heraus aber ansonsten ist er eher bedeckt im Raum. Dort sitzen natürlich auch noch andere Katzen mit denen er nicht wirklich etwas zu tun haben möchte. In seinem Zuhause war er wohl ein netter, verschmuster Kater der auch einiges an Zeit draußen verbracht hat, was er sicherlich vermisst. Wir denken das er im einem festen Zuhause auch wieder zutraulicher und sehr freundlich wird. Gerne kann Felix einmal bei uns im Tierheim kennen gelernt werden.

About Felix

What life with Felix looks like

Felix is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Wuppertal in Wuppertal.

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 Felix, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Felix?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Wuppertal 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 Wuppertal 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 Wuppertal 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.
