GIZMO

Male · Senior · 16 years

Our European-Shorthair tomcats GIZMO and Pasha were born in January 2010 and are both neutered. The two came to us because their previous owner could no longer care for them due to an illness. GIZMO and Pasha are looking for a quiet and loving home with people who can give them time to settle into their new environment. Suitable for families with children, they are appropriate from a slightly older age. Both are compatible with fellow animals. They will be rehomed in suitable for apartment living situations. They would be happy with a fully networked and escape-proof balcony, though this is not a requirement. When meeting new people, GIZMO and Pasha initially show some fear and shyness. With a bit of patience and the necessary adjustment time, they develop trust and become friendly, people-oriented, and cuddly companions. They enjoy the closeness of their people and look forward to shared, quiet cuddle hours. Additionally, they share and seek out contact with their trusted people in their own special way. Pasha had slightly elevated kidney values in the past. However, during the last check-up, these were within the normal range. Nonetheless, his kidney values should be checked by a veterinarian precautionarily about every six months. To support him, he receives special kidney food, which he enjoys very much. -0Fax:. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

Unsere Europäisch-Kurzhaar-Kater Gizmo und Pasha wurden im Januar 2010 geboren und sind beide kastriert. Die beiden kamen zu uns, da ihr bisheriger Besitzer sie aufgrund einer Erkrankung nicht mehr versorgen konnte. Gizmo und Pasha suchen gemeinsam ein ruhiges und liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihnen die Zeit geben, sich in ihrem neuen Umfeld einzuleben. Für Familien mit Kindern eignen sie sich ab einem etwas größeren Alter. Mit Artgenossen sind beide verträglich. Sie werden in Wohnungshaltung vermittelt. Über einen vollständig vernetzten und ausbruchsicheren Balkon würden sie sich freuen, dieser ist jedoch keine Voraussetzung. Bei neuen Menschen zeigen sich Gizmo und Pasha zunächst etwas ängstlich und schüchtern. Mit etwas Geduld und der nötigen Eingewöhnungszeit fassen sie jedoch Vertrauen und entwickeln sich zu zutraulichen, menschenbezogenen und verschmusten Begleitern. Sie genießen die Nähe ihrer Menschen und freuen sich über gemeinsame, ruhige Kuschelstunden. Außerdem teilen sie sich gerne mit und suchen auf ihre ganz eigene Weise den Kontakt zu ihren Bezugspersonen. Pasha hatte in der Vergangenheit leicht erhöhte Nierenwerte. Bei der letzten Kontrolluntersuchung lagen diese jedoch wieder im Normalbereich. Dennoch sollten seine Nierenwerte vorsorglich etwa alle sechs Monate tierärztlich kontrolliert werden. Zur Unterstützung erhält er spezielles Nierenfutter, das er sehr gerne frisst. Liebe Interessentinnen und Interessenten, wir freuen uns sehr, dass vielleicht schon bald einer unserer Schützlinge bei Ihnen ein neues Zuhause finden darf.

About GIZMO

What life with GIZMO looks like

GIZMO is a senior cat waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting GIZMO, answered.

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