Leon

European Shorthair · Male

Hey, huhu, here... down here. No, wait, don't look at me directly. You look terrifying! Because you're so big, and I, Leon, am just a little tomcat and I'm still very shy. But I think I like you. Yes, you are big, sooooo big, but I like you. And if you like me too, that would be really super. So, what else do I like? I like being let out to roam! I don't like little kids, well, the little ones among you are often the noisiest. If you have another tomcat or a cat around my age, that would be really super, but it's not necessary. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hey, huhu, hier.. hier unten. Nein warte, schau mich nicht direkt an. Du wirkst erschreckend! Weil du so groß bist und ich, Leon, bin doch nur ein kleiner Kater und ich bin noch sehr schüchtern. Aber ich denke ich mag dich. Ja, du bist groß, sooooo groß, aber ich mag dich. Und wenn du mich auch magst, wäre das echt suuuper. Also, was mag ich noch? Ich mag Freigang! Kleine Kinder mag ich nicht, naja, die Kleinen unter euch sind oft auch die Lautesten. Wenn du noch einen Kater oder eine Katze hast, die in meinem Alter ist, wäre das echt super, ist aber kein muss. Also ich, Leon, würde bei dir ei

About Leon

What life with Leon looks like

Leon is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Leon, answered.

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