How do I contact the shelter about Leon?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin 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 — Tierheim Berlin 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 Tierheim Berlin 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.

Leon

Scottish Fold · Male · Young · 3 years

Leon is a Scottish Fold cat who wishes for a quiet home with a compatible feline companion. Initially, he can be shy and uncertain but becomes affectionate quickly if given time and not rushed. He dislikes chaos and thrives on calmness and patience, revealing his friendly side. Leon is a Scottish Fold cat, a breed that is considered inhumane due to its health issues. I am looking for people who understand this responsibility and will monitor my well-being closely. I hope for... a quiet home without young children. A socially adept feline friend would be welcome as they provide companionship which I enjoy. Patience and calm handling help me build trust and feel comfortable. If you believe we are a good match, I look forward to meeting you. Please submit an inquiry via the contact form or call Garfield House (daily 1pm-4pm except Saturdays).

Ich bin Leon … und wünsche mir ein ruhiges Zuhause mit einem passenden Katzenkumpel. Das bin ich: Ich bin anfangs eher zurückhaltend und etwas unsicher. Wenn man mir Zeit gibt und mich nicht bedrängt, werde ich aber schnell zutraulich und genieße Streicheleinheiten. Hektik und Trubel sind nichts für mich – mit Ruhe und Geduld zeige ich meine verschmuste Seite. Ich bin ein Scottish-Fold-Kater. Diese Rasse gilt als Qualzucht und bringt leider häufig gesundheitliche Probleme mit sich. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die sich dieser Verantwortung bewusst sind und mich aufmerksam begleiten. Ich wünsche mir … ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder. Ein sozial kompetenter Katzenkumpel darf gern schon auf mich warten, denn Gesellschaft von Artgenossen finde ich schön. Menschen mit Geduld und einem ruhigen Umgang helfen mir dabei, Vertrauen zu fassen und mich wohlzufühlen. Wenn du glaubst, dass wir gut zusammenpassen, freue ich mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen. Bitte sende eine Anfrage über das Anfrageformular oder melde dich telefonisch im Garfield-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Leon

What life with Leon looks like

Leon is a young adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin in 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.
