Loki

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Loki arrived at our animal shelter as a found cat at the end of March. The tomcat had become stuck high up in a tree, wedged in a fork of the branches, and the fire department had to rescue him. Fortunately, this experience left no lasting damage on the approximately 5-year-old cat. From the very beginning, Loki has shown himself to be somewhat uncertain and mistrustful around us; he’s not quite sure yet what to make of us humans. Occasionally, he’ll come over for some cuddles, but he quickly withdraws again, making it clear that he’d like to have his peace and quiet. Given that his demeanor and body language are somewhat ambiguous, we’d prefer to place Loki in the hands of someone experienced with cats. During his neutering, the veterinarian discovered an abscess in his mouth, which was treated—but even now, Loki still exhibits a slight grimace, as if something is bothering him. Since everything has been thoroughly checked by the vet, we suspect this behavior may be due to a behavioral issue, possibly triggered by stress. Loki appears to be a Scottish Fold mix, so in his new home, special attention should be paid to his ears—which, however, have so far also been clinically unremarkable. We’re looking for a understanding and patient home for Loki, one that can appreciate his special nature, where he can live as an only pet and where, after an adjustment period, he’ll be given the opportunity to enjoy supervised outdoor access. Please note: The animal descriptions are based on observations made at the shelter or on information provided by third parties and do not constitute guaranteed characteristics. Therefore, the animal’s behavior in a family setting may differ from these descriptions.

Loki kam Ende März als Fundkatze in unser Tierheim. Der Kater steckte hoch oben auf einem Baum in einer Astgabel fest und die Feuerwehr musste ihn befreien. Von diesem Erlebnis trug der circa 5-jährige Kater zum Glück keine bleibenden Schäden davon.Loki zeigt sich von Beginn an bei uns etwas unsicher und misstrauisch, weiß noch nicht so recht, was er von uns Menschen halten soll; kommt gelegentlich zum Schmusen, doch zieht sich auch schnell wieder zurück und gibt zu verstehen, dass er seine Ruhe möchte. Da sein Wesen und seiner Körpersprache etwas uneindeutig sind, würden wir Loki gerne in katzenerfahrene Hände wissen. Bei der Kastration stellte der Tierarzt einen Abzess im Mäulchen fest, welcher behandelt wurde, dennoch zeigt er nach wie vor ein Katschen, als würde ihn etwas stören. Da tierärztlich alles abgeklärt wurde, gehen wir von einer Verhaltensauffälligkeit aus, die vielleicht auch stressbedingt von ihm gezeigt wird. Loki scheint ein Scottish Fold Mix zu sein, weswegen im neuen Zuhause besonderes Augenmerk auch auf die Ohren gelegt werden sollte, welche jedoch bisher ebenfalls klinisch unauffällig waren.Wir wünschen uns für Loki ein verständnisvolles und geduldiges Zuhause, welches auf sein besonderes Wesen einzugehen weiß, wo er als Einzelprinz leben darf und wo ihm nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit die Möglichkeit auf Freigang gewährt wird.

Das Verhalten in familiärer Unterbringung kann deshalb von den Beschreibungen abweichen.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Zwickau in Zwickau.

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 Loki, answered.

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