Louis &#038

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Louis and Marek were the beloved house cats of a senior woman. Unfortunately, she has passed away and her two boys don't know what to do: their loved human who was there for them 24/7 is suddenly gone. Both cats are a bit shaken up and urgently need a loving new home together. Louis (10) is a purebred Maine Coon, a gentle giant who is completely uncomplicated. Marek (14) is very affectionate and rewards attention with loud purring. He is a bit sensitive about food but comes with careful guidance. Both come from indoor living, a secure balcony would be great. Maybe these two would make ideal companions for seniors?

Louis und Marek waren die vielgeliebten Hauskater einer Seniorin. Nun ist diese leider verstorben und ihre beiden Jungs wissen nicht, was los ist: Ihr geliebter Mensch, der 24/7 für sie da war, ist plötzlich weg. Beide Kater sind etwas verstört und suchen dringend ein liebevolles neues Zuhause und zwar gemeinsam. Louis (10) ist ein reinrassiger Maine Coon, ein sanfter Riese, der völlig unkompliziert ist. Marek (14) ist sehr liebesbedürftig und entlohnt Aufmerksamkeit mit lautem Schnurren. Er ist etwas sensibel beim Futter, kommt aber natürlich mit genauer Anleitung. Die beiden kommen aus Wohnungshaltung, ein gesicherter Balkon wäre bestimmt schön. Vielleicht wären diese beiden ja die idealen Begleiter für Senioren?

About Louis &#038

What life with Louis &#038 looks like

Louis &#038 is a extra-large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenrettung Gangelt e.V. in Gangelt.

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 &#038, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Louis &#038?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenrettung Gangelt e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Louis &#038 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Louis &#038 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenrettung Gangelt 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 &#038 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 &#038 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 Katzenrettung Gangelt e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Louis &#038 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.
