Felix

Mixed Breed · Female

Felix is a sweet and affectionate male cat, approximately one year old, who has been neutered. He is a good fit for either a single or multi-pet household, and would thrive in a home with a secure garden or outdoor access. Felix has been tested negative for FIV and FeLV, is microchipped, and has received all necessary vaccinations. Felix was discovered living under a balcony, where he had claimed the space as his own. Despite being unknown to the neighbors, he quickly won over the hearts of the people who took notice of him. They provided him with food and water, and eventually contacted animal welfare services. Unfortunately, Felix was not microchipped or neutered, and no previous owner was found. He is now in need of a new home. Felix is a loving and playful cat who knows what he wants and what he doesn't. He craves freedom but also seeks physical contact and closeness with his human companions. He is a clever and resourceful cat who can open doors and disable security systems. "Challenges are there to be overcome" is his motto. He is not fond of closed doors. We believe Felix would prefer outdoor access to living indoors exclusively. He has shown curiosity and a cautious approach to other cats so far, with no signs of dominant behavior. He could be a good fit for a multi-pet household. Felix can be visited at his foster home in Cologne. I am interested in adopting this cat.

. Alter: ca. 1 Jahr (geschätzt)Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Verträglichkeit: Einzel-/ZweittierHaltung: Wohnung mit gesichertem Garten oder FreigangGesundheit: negativ getestet (FIV/FeLV), gechippt, geimpft (Schnupfen/Seuche)Schutzgebühr: 230 Euro Felix machte es sich unter einem Balkon gemütlich und erklärte diesen zu seinem Reich. In der Nachbarschaft Kannte ihn niemand. Erst stellten aufmerksame Menschen ihm Wasser hin, dann Futter und schließlich wurde der Tierschutz gerufen. Bis dahin hatte Felix schon alle Hausbewohner verzaubert und um seine hübschen Pfötchen gewickelt.Leider war er weder gekennzeichnet noch kastriert und Suchmeldungen konnten auch nicht gefunden werden. Felix braucht also ein neues Zuhause.Felix ist ein lieber und verschmuster Kater. Er weiß, was er will und was nicht. Er möchte Freiheit, sucht aber gleichzeitig auch die Nähe und den körperlichen Kontakt zu seinen Menschen. Er ist ein kleines Genie, ein Tüftler, der durchaus in der Lage ist, eine Türe zu öffnen oder die Sicherung einer Transportbox auszuhebeln. „Probleme sind da, um gelöst zu werden“ ist sein Motto. Und verschlossene Türen mag er nun Mal nicht besonders.Wir denken, dass Felix Freigang einer reinen Wohnungshaltung bevorzugen würde. Anderen Katzen gegenüber verhält er sich bisher neugierig und abwartend. Dominantes Verhalten konnten wir nicht feststellen. Er kann daher auch als Zweittier vermittelt werden.Felix kann auf seiner Pflegestelle in Köln gerne besucht werden. Ich interessiere mich für diese Katze Weitere Katzen entdecken

About Felix

What life with Felix looks like

Felix is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund Köln in Köln.

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. Katzenschutzbund Köln 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 — Katzenschutzbund Köln 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 Katzenschutzbund Köln 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.
