Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

My name is Janosh. I am male, neutered, and born around 2016. I have been waiting since January 2018 for a new home. My caretakers say: Janosh was part of an intake by the veterinary office. About 30 cats were secured in a two-room apartment and distributed to surrounding animal welfare organizations. All were more or less anxious, but not shy and easily handled. They are exceptionally good with fellow animals, so we would like to place Janosh as a second pet. In the meantime, Janosh enjoys cuddles when he doesn't immediately notice a hand approaching him. He enjoys this so much that we are convinced he will quickly become a snuggly cat with individual care, once he has settled in. Otherwise, Janosh is very easy to care for and unpretentious, only the necessary finesse and patience in the initial phase are prerequisites for a relaxed cohabitation with Janosh. Whether purely suitable for apartment living or a home where later outdoor access would be possible, Janosh is open to everything. Who would like to stand by Janosh on his way to becoming a snuggly cat?. Gets along with other dogs.

Mein Name ist Janosh. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und circa 2016 geboren. Ich warte seit Januar 2018 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Janosh gehört zu einem Einzug des Veterinäramts.Um die 30 Katzen wurden in einer Zweiraumwohnung gesichert und auf umliegende Tierschutzvereine verteilt. Alle waren mehr oder weniger ängstlich, aber nicht scheu und gut händelbar. Sie sind ausgesprochen gut verträglich mit Artgenossen, daher würden wir Janosh gern als Zweittier vermitteln. Inzwischen mag Janosh Streicheleinheiten, wenn er direkt nicht bemerkt, das eine Hand auf ihn zukommt. Er genießt das förmlich, deswegen sind wir überzeugt, das er bei individueller Betreuung sehr schnell zum Kuschelkater mutiert, hat er sich erst einmal eingelebt. Ansonsten ist Janosh sehr pflegeleicht und anspruchslos, nur das nötige Feingefühl und die Geduld in dr Startphase sind Vorraussetzung für eine entspannte Wohngemeinschaft mit Janosh.Ob reine Wohnungshaltung oder ein Zuhause, wo später Freigang möglich wäre, Janosh ist für alles offen. Wer möchte Janosh auf seinem Weg zum Kuscheltier zur Seite stehen?
