Marcel

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Our little orphan Marcel was just six weeks old when he came to us. He probably comes from a stray cat and was born outside. He now lives with us in the Kitten WG and is making great progress every day. We wish for him a patient home with loving people who have experience with cats and a kitten of similar age.

Unser kleines Findelkind Marcel war gerade mal sechs Wochen alt als er zu uns kam. Er stammt vermutlich von einer Streunerkatze ab und wurde draußen geboren. Er lebt jetzt bei uns in der Kitten WG und macht jeden Tag tolle Fortschritte. Wir wünschen uns für Ihn ein geduldiges Zuhause bei lieben Menschen mit Katzenerfahrung und einem Kätzchen im ähnlichem Alter.

About Marcel

What life with Marcel looks like

Marcel is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Schorndorf in Schorndorf.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marcel, answered.

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