How do I contact the shelter about Malik?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Malik on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Malik if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein 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 Malik 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 Malik 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 Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Malik 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.

Malik

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 11 months

Male cat born approximately September 2025, neutered, FIV and FeLV negative, no known disabilities, compatible with children unknown, cats yes, dogs unknown, requires: single-cat household only, indoor living, no outdoor access, balcony or terrace desirable (if present, secure). Malik is one of the cats rescued from an abandoned apartment in May. His owner had left the country and simply locked the animals inside - without food, water or any chance to help themselves. Fortunately, Virginia was asked for help. When she entered the apartment, a terrible sight greeted her. Amidst dirt and neglect, she also found Malik. Since that day he lives with Virginia at the animal shelter where he is cared for and safe. Malik has developed into a cheerful and loving young cat who immediately charms with his open nature. Curious, he explores his surroundings, enthusiastically chases after his toys and loves to play and romp around with his feline friends. He approaches people friendly and openly and enjoys every attention. With his lovable character and carefree charm, Malik wins hearts by storm. For the lively Malik it is now time to exchange the animal shelter for a home of his own. He longs for people who show him the world, play with him, cuddle and give him the security that a young cat deserves. Now all Malik needs is his family - maybe he waits for his happy ending right at your doorstep.

Tierschützerin: Virginia Georgieva geboren: ca. September 2025 Geschlecht: männlich Aufenthaltsort: Bulgarien kastriert: ja FIV-Test: negativ FeLV-Test: negativ Handicaps: keine verträglich mit: Kindern: nicht bekannt Katzen: ja Hunden: nicht bekannt Voraussetzungen: KEINE Einzelhaltung nur Wohnungshaltung, KEIN Freigang Balkon oder Terrasse wünschenswert (sofern vorhanden, ist die Sicherung erforderlich) Malik gehört zu den Katzen, die im Mai aus einer verlassenen Wohnung gerettet wurden. Ihr Besitzer hatte das Land verlassen und die Tiere einfach eingesperrt zurückgelassen – ohne Futter, ohne Wasser und ohne jede Chance, sich selbst zu helfen. Zum Glück wurde Virginia um Hilfe gebeten. Als sie die Wohnung betrat, bot sich ihr ein furchtbares Bild. Zwischen Schmutz und Verwahrlosung fand sie auch Malik. Seit diesem Tag lebt er bei Virginia im Tierheim, wo er versorgt wird und sicher ist. Malik hat sich zu einem fröhlichen und lieben jungen Kater entwickelt, der mit seiner offenen Art sofort begeistert. Neugierig erkundet er seine Umgebung, flitzt begeistert seinem Spielzeug hinterher und liebt es, gemeinsam mit seinen Katzenfreunden ausgelassen zu spielen und zu toben. Menschen begegnet er freundlich und aufgeschlossen und genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit. Mit seinem liebenswerten Wesen und seinem unbeschwerten Charme erobert Malik die Herzen im Sturm. Für den lebensfrohen Malik wird es nun Zeit, das Tierheim gegen ein eigenes Zuhause einzutauschen. Er wünscht sich Menschen, die ihm die Welt zeigen, mit ihm spielen, kuscheln und ihm die Geborgenheit schenken, die ein junger Kater verdient. Jetzt fehlt Malik nur noch seine Familie – vielleicht wartet genau bei dir sein Happy End.

About Malik

What life with Malik looks like

Malik is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
