Tomcat Mari Seeks a Loving Forever Home – A Heartbreaker on Velvet Paws ❤️ Mari is a neutered, microchipped tomcat of about 3 years old with a great need for closeness, attention, and love. He currently lives in a home where he is very cherished, but unfortunately he cannot stay there. The reason: Mari does not get along with the cat already living there. Other cats stress him out greatly, which is why he urgently needs a calm home as the only prince of the house. Mari is affectionate, playful, and very people-oriented. He loves being the center of attention, wants to belong, and needs people who return his affection. He has a lot of personality – a little character cat with a big heart. Important to know: Mari is FIV-positive, which means he carries antibodies against the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. He is not sick and not contagious. Many FIV-positive cats live completely normal, long, and happy lives – just as Mari deserves. Mari is also open to cat sharing – for example, as a loving holiday sitter for his current family. If you are interested, please get in touch under the contact details below. Who will give Mari the security he so badly needs? Back

Kater Mari sucht ein liebevolles Für-Immer-Zuhause – Ein Herzensbrecher auf Samtpfoten❤️ Mari ist ein etwa 3-jähriger, kastrierter und gechippter Kater mit einem großen Bedürfnis nach Nähe, Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe. Er lebt aktuell in einem Zuhause, in dem er sehr geschätzt wird – doch leider kann er dort nicht bleiben. Der Grund: Mari kommt mit dem bereits vorhandenen Kater nicht zurecht. Andere Katzen stressen ihn sehr, weshalb er dringend ein ruhiges Zuhause als Einzelprinz sucht. Mari ist verschmust, verspielt und sehr menschenbezogen. Er liebt es, im Mittelpunkt zu stehen, möchte dazugehören und braucht Menschen, die seine Zuwendung erwidern. Er bringt viel Persönlichkeit mit – ein kleiner Charakterkater mit großem Herz. Wichtig zu wissen: Mari ist FIV-positiv – das bedeutet, er trägt Antikörper gegen das Feline Immundefizienz-Virus. Er ist nicht krank und nicht ansteckend. Viele FIV-positive Katzen führen ein ganz normales, langes und glückliches Leben – so wie Mari es verdient. Mari sucht: Auch Catsharing ist möglich – z. B. als liebevolle Urlaubsbetreuung bei seiner bisherigen Familie. Bei Interesse bitte unter melden. Wer schenkt Mari die Geborgenheit, die er so sehr braucht? Zurück

About Mari

What life with Mari looks like

Mari is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzjugend Erding e.V. in Germany.

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 Mari, answered.

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