Makani

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

Der schon ältere Kater wurde im März 2026 in Arnstorf gefunden: abgemagert, Knickohr, 1 Auge trüb, starker Katzenschnupfen. Das Landkreistierheim hat ihn medizinisch versorgt und aufgepäppelt. Allerdings ist er aufgrund seines Alters und gesundheitlicher Baustellen nicht mehr vermittelbar. Die Kolleginnen und Kollegen vom Tierheim haben ihm den außergewöhnlichen Namen "Makani" gegeben = hawaiianisch "Wind". Wir haben Makani mit den 4 weißen Söckchen als Gnadenbrottier übernommen. In seinem neuen Zuhause wohnt er jetzt in der Handicap-WG zusammen mit Käpt'n Jacky und Luna und das Zusammenleben klappt sehr gut. Bitte unterstützen Sie uns mit einer Tierpatenschaft für Makani!

About Makani

What life with Makani looks like

Makani is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzhof Ering in Germany.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Makani, answered.

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