Mariano

Male · Adult · 5 years

I was born around February 2021 and didn't have an easy start in life. Together with several other cats, I was rescued from a severely neglected house where we had to live under appalling conditions. Fortunately, animal welfare activists discovered me and took me into their care. Since then, I’ve been lovingly cared for and am eagerly waiting for a new chapter in my life to finally begin. I’m a cheerful and open-minded tomcat who thoroughly enjoys human company. Petting is just as much a part of my daily routine as long, playful sessions. I also get along wonderfully with other cats and love their company. That’s why I’d like to find a feline companion of roughly the same age in my future home. If no one is waiting for me there yet, I’d happily travel together with one of my friends from Spain—such as Moka. I’ve already been neutered, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and upon my departure, I’ll be fully vaccinated and microchipped. Would you like to show me what a real, loving home can be like?

Ich bin ungefähr im Februar 2021 geboren und hatte keinen einfachen Start ins Leben. Gemeinsam mit mehreren anderen Katzen wurde ich aus einem stark verwahrlosten Haus gerettet, in dem wir unter schrecklichen Bedingungen leben mussten. Zum Glück haben mich die Tierschützer entdeckt und in ihre Obhut genommen. Seitdem werde ich liebevoll versorgt und warte darauf, dass auch für mich endlich ein neues Kapitel beginnt. Ich bin ein fröhlicher und aufgeschlossener Kater, der die Nähe von Menschen sehr genießt. Streicheleinheiten gehören für mich genauso dazu wie ausgiebige Spielrunden. Auch mit anderen Katzen komme ich wunderbar zurecht und freue mich über ihre Gesellschaft. Deshalb wünsche ich mir in meinem zukünftigen Zuhause einen etwa gleichaltrigen Katzenfreund. Sollte dort noch keiner auf mich warten, reise ich auch gerne mit einem meiner Freunde aus Spanien aus – zum Beispiel mit Moka. Ich bin bereits kastriert, negativ auf FIV und FeLV getestet sowie bei meiner Ausreise vollständig geimpft und gechippt. Möchtest du mir zeigen, wie schön ein richtiges Zuhause sein kann?

About Mariano

What life with Mariano looks like

Mariano is a adult cat waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy 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. 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 Mariano, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mariano?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mariano on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mariano if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Aktion Tierisch Happy 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mariano 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 Mariano 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 Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mariano 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.
