Louis & Mahalo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Louis & Mahalo – together in happiness Louis is a particularly loving, people-oriented and affectionate cat. She loves being close to her humans and would love to be with them all the time. Whether in everyday life or on the go – the 4-year-old follows her humans willingly. She is also quick to open up and friendly to strangers. The gray Mahalo, on the other hand, is a bit more cautious. The gray tomcat born in April 2023 needs some time to gain trust with strangers. But who gives him this time and meets him patiently, learns a very wonderful and lovable tomcat. Mahalo loves it cozy, sleeps very well and is a little glutton. His name means "thank you" in Hawaiian – and maybe that's exactly his way of thanking for a little patience and love. The most important thing about the two: Louis and Mahalo belong together. Mahalo is very attached to Louis and loves his girlfriend very much. That's why we want to place the two together in a new home. We are looking for people for Louis and Mahalo who give them a loving home and understand that everyone needs their own time. Louis will quickly seek closeness, while Mahalo needs a bit longer to open up. Together, the two bring a lot of love, warmth and personality. Whoever wants to give the two a shared home, please contact us. A secure balcony or garden should make their happiness complete. Whoever wants to give the sweethearts a loving home, please contact Mrs. Schmitz.

❤️ Louis & Mahalo – gemeinsam ins Glück ❤️ Louis ist eine ganz besonders liebevolle, menschenbezogene und verschmuste Katze. Sie liebt die Nähe zu ihren Menschen und möchte am liebsten immer dabei sein. Ob im Alltag oder unterwegs – die 4-jährige folgt ihren Menschen gerne auf Schritt und Tritt. Auch fremden Menschen gegenüber zeigt sie sich schnell offen und freundlich. Der graue Mahalo ist dagegen etwas vorsichtiger. Der im April 2023 geborene graue Kater braucht bei fremden Menschen ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Doch wer ihm diese Zeit schenkt und ihm geduldig begegnet, lernt einen ganz wunderbaren und liebenswerten Kater kennen. Mahalo liebt es gemütlich, schläft ausgesprochen gerne und ist ein kleiner Vielfraß. Sein Name bedeutet auf Hawaiianisch übrigens „Danke“ – und vielleicht ist genau das seine Art, sich für ein wenig Geduld und Liebe zu bedanken. Das Wichtigste bei den beiden: Louis und Mahalo gehören zusammen. Mahalo hängt sehr an Louis und liebt seine Freundin sehr. Deshalb möchten wir die beiden auch nur gemeinsam in ein neues Zuhause vermitteln. Wir wünschen uns für Louis und Mahalo Menschen, die ihnen ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken und verstehen, dass jeder Charakter seine ganz eigene Zeit braucht. Louis wird schnell Nähe suchen, während Mahalo etwas länger braucht, um sich zu öffnen. Gemeinsam bringen die beiden ganz viel Liebe, Wärme und Persönlichkeit mit. Wer den beiden ein gemeinsames Zuhause schenken möchte, darf sich gerne bei uns melden. ❤️ Ein gesicherter Balkon oder Garten sollte ihr Glück komplett machen. Wer den Süßen ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchte, melde sich bitte bei Frau Schmitz.

About Louis & Mahalo

What life with Louis & Mahalo looks like

Louis & Mahalo is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Karlsruhe e.V. in Karlsruhe.

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 Louis & Mahalo, answered.

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