Garfield

Mixed Breed · Male

Garfield (Maine Coon) We urgently need a foster or permanent home for Garfield! Garfield is a lovable tomcat who, for a longer time now, hasn't been enjoying life on the sunny side. Due to very personal circumstances of his owners, the once handsome feline gentleman has mostly been spending his time in the garden. Since his partner passed away recently, he longs even more for a cozy spot. As you can see in the pictures, he hasn't been getting the necessary grooming for some time now. Garfield can only stay in his current environment until the end of September, and then it will be too late. Which Maine Coon fan or cat lover wouldn't give a beautiful velvet paw a home?

Garfield (Maine Coon) Wir benötigen dringend für Garfield einen Pflege- oder Endplatz! Garfield ist ein liebenswerter Kater, der seit längerer Zeit nicht mehr so richtig auf der Sonnenseite des Lebens steht. Wegen sehr persönlicher Umstände seiner Besitzer musste der einst bildhübsche Katzenmann nun die meiste Zeit im Garten verbringen. Seit vor kurzem sein Partner verstarb sehnt er sich umso mehr nach einem Kuschelplatz . Wie auf den Bildern zu sehen ist kam bei ihm auch seit geraumer Zeit die nötige Haarpflege zu kurz. Garfield kann jetzt nur noch bis Ende September in seinem Umfeld bleiben und dann ist guter Rat teuer. Welcher Maine Coon Fan und Katzenfreund würde der hübschen Samtpfote einen Platz geben?

About Garfield

What life with Garfield looks like

Garfield is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Garfield, answered.

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