Mace und Katavi

Male

We are Mace and Katavi. I, Mace, am the handsome long-haired cat, and Katavi is my friend with the most beautiful eyes in the world - at least I think so (she has permanently dilated pupils). We have been a dream team for a long time and are looking for a new home together again. Katavi was very scared at first and just hid. Being deaf made it even harder for her. But now she notices how much the people in the shelter love her and is getting more and more courage to show herself. I came to the shelter very matted and emaciated. Now I am taking thyroid medication and it turned out that my gastrointestinal tract is a bit sensitive - I still have to have some examinations. We are looking for a nice and quiet home with a secure balcony, understanding people, and no additional cat society. Please contact us as soon as possible. Best regards, Mace and Katavi

Besonderheiten: Wohnung, gesicherter Balkon oder Freigang. Hallo, wir sind Mace und Katavi. Ich Mace bin der hübsche Kater mit dem längeren Fell und Katavi meine Freundin mit den schönsten Augen der Welt - wie ich finde (sie hat dauerhaft vergrößerte Pupillen). Wir sind seit langer Zeit ein Dreamteam und suchen wieder ein gemeinsames, neues Zuhuase. Katavi war am Anfang ganz verängstigt und hat sich nur versteckt. Das sie taub ist hat es für sie noch schwieriger gemacht. Aber jetzt merkt sie wie lieb hier alles Menschen im Tierheim sind und fasst immer mehr Mut sich zu zeigen. Ich bin sehr stark verfilzt und abgemagert ins Tierheim gekommen. Jetzt bekomme ich Schilddrüsenmedikamente und es stellte sich heraus, dass mein Magen-Darmtrakt etwas empfindlich ist - da muss ich auch noch mal zu ein paar Untersuchungen habe ich gehört. Wir suchen ein nettes und ruhiges Zuhause mit abgesichertem Balkon, verständnisvolle Menschen und keine zusätzliche Katzengesellschaft. Melde dich doch bitte ganz schnell. Ganz liebe Grüße Mace und Katavi

About Mace und Katavi

What life with Mace und Katavi looks like

Mace und Katavi is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Mace und Katavi, answered.

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