Gimli

Mixed Breed · Male

I am Faltenbaron Gimli, a Scottish Fold cat with folded ears and a moving story. I was found during a spay/neuter event and ended up at the shelter. I am still a bit anxious and need people who can give me time to gain trust. A quiet home with a relaxed feline society would be perfect for me. What I want: * Indoor living with secure outdoor access, such as a netted balcony. * A quiet feline companion. * Patient people who let me arrive at my own pace. One more important thing: As cute as my folded ears look - Scottish Folds are considered a cruel breeding practice. The genetic change can cause painful cartilage and joint problems. Please inform yourself thoroughly about possible health issues and the associated responsibility before adopting. The shelter will be happy to answer all your questions! Who will give me a loving home where I can finally arrive in peace? Your Faltenbaron Gimli

Servus, ich bin der Faltenbaron Gimli! Ich bin ein Scottish-Fold-Kater mit Knicköhrchen und einer bewegenden Geschichte: Im Rahmen einer Kastrationsaktion wurde ich aufgefunden und bin so im Tierheim gelandet. Ich bin noch etwas ängstlich und brauche Menschen, die mir Zeit geben, Vertrauen zu fassen. Ein ruhiges Zuhause mit einer entspannten Katzengesellschaft wäre genau mein Ding. Was ich mir wünsche: * Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Freigang, zum Beispiel auf einem vernetzten Balkon. * Ruhige Katzengesellschaft. * Geduldige Menschen, die mich in meinem Tempo ankommen lassen. Noch etwas Wichtiges: So niedlich meine Knicköhrchen auch aussehen – Scottish Folds gelten als Qualzucht. Die genetische Veränderung kann schmerzhafte Knorpel- und Gelenkprobleme verursachen. Bitte informiert euch vor einer Adoption gründlich über mögliche gesundheitliche Probleme und die damit verbundene Verantwortung. Das Tierheim beantwortet euch gerne alle Fragen! Wer schenkt mir ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem ich endlich in Ruhe ankommen darf? Euer Faltenbaron Gimli

About Gimli

What life with Gimli looks like

Gimli is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Marktoberdorf in Marktoberdorf.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gimli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gimli?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Marktoberdorf handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gimli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gimli if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Marktoberdorf 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Gimli 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 Gimli 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 Marktoberdorf early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gimli 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.
