Manni

Male · Young · 2 years

Manni came to our shelter as a found animal. Now the dear cat is looking for a new forever home. Here we experience Manni as a friendly and affectionate cat who enjoys human contact. However, he is not a pure lap cat. Manni is very lively and playful and radiates self-confidence. A flat with a secured balcony is not enough for Manni. Therefore, we would like to place him only with outdoor access so he can release his excess energy. Since children and dogs could be stressful for Manni, we would like a home without children and dogs. Would you like to give our Manni a caring home? Then please send your completed self-assessment (enable JavaScript for the address). 07.10.2026 (kb) This breed originates from a breeding for appearance purposes, where many purebred animals are deliberately bred to be sick. In the case of folded-ear cats, the ear flaps remain folded instead of standing up some time after birth. This is the outwardly visible sign of an artificially induced developmental disorder of the cartilage and bone tissue, which affects the entire body, not just the ears. Skeletal development is also impaired, which can lead to painful joint degeneration and premature arthritis. If animals suffer due to their anatomy, it is a breeding for appearance purposes. As animal advocates, we reject this. Pet owners who support such breeding practices act irresponsibly.

Manni kam als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun sucht der liebe Kater ein neues Für-immer-Zuhause. Hier erleben wir Manni als freundlichen und verschmusten Kater, der gerne den Kontakt zu Menschen sucht. Reine Schmusekatze ist er allerdings nicht. Manni ist sehr lebhaft und verspielt und strahlt förmlich Selbstbewusstsein aus. Eine Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon ist für Manni nicht ausreichend. Daher möchten wir ihn nur mit Freigang vermitteln, damit er seine überschüssige Energie loswerden kann. Da Kinder sowie Hunde für Manni mit Stress verbunden sein könnten, wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause ohne Kinder und Hunde. Möchten Sie unserem Manni ein fürsorgliches Zuhause schenken? Dann schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). 07.10.2026 (kb) Diese Rasse entstammt einer Qualzucht: Für ihr Aussehen werden viele Rassetiere bewusst krankgezüchtet. Bei den Faltohrkatzen bleiben die Ohrmuscheln gefaltet, statt sich einige Zeit nach der Geburt aufzurichten. Diese sind das äußerlich sichtbare Zeichen einer angezüchteten Entwicklungsstörung des Knorpel- und Knochengewebes, die den gesamten Körper betrifft, nicht nur die Ohren. Auch die Skelettentwicklung ist beeinträchtigt, was zu schmerzhaften Gelenkdegenerationen und frühzeitiger Arthritis führen kann. Wenn die Tiere anatomisch bedingt leiden, handelt es sich um eine Qualzucht. Als Anwält*innen der Tiere lehnen wir diese ab. Tierhalter*innen, die solche Zuchten unterstützen, handeln unverantwortlich.

About Manni

What life with Manni looks like

Manni is a young adult cat waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Manni, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Manni?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hamburger Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Manni on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Manni if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Manni 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 Manni 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Manni 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.
