Mario

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 6 months

Mario is still in Crete. His foster mother wrote to us: Loving home sought for Mario. Mario is a cat about 5-6 months old, whom we raised on a bottle when he was a tiny kitten. As a result, his bond with people is very close: he is incredibly cuddly, affectionate and people-oriented, and he likes nothing more than being wherever his people are. He gets along wonderfully with other cats, whether big or small. He is sociable, easygoing and a true lap cat. Mario has a slight vision impairment in one eye. He has already been treated with blood plasma eye drops, but his eyesight will probably not improve significantly any more. However, this does not affect him at all in his daily life; he gets along very well and is a completely normal, joyful and loving cat. He is already vaccinated and neutered.

Mario ist noch auf Kreta. Seine Pflegemama schrieb uns: Liebevolles Zuhause für Mario gesucht Mario ist ein etwa 5-6 Monate alter Kater, den wir als kleines Kitten noch mit der Flasche großgezogen haben. Entsprechend eng ist seine Bindung zu Menschen: Er ist unglaublich verschmust, anhänglich und menschenbezogen und hält sich am liebsten dort auf, wo seine Menschen sind. Mit anderen Katzen versteht er sich hervorragend, egal ob groß oder klein. Er ist sozial, unkompliziert und ein echter Schmusekater. Mario hat einen leichten Sehfehler an einem Auge. Er wurde bereits mit Blutplasma-Augentropfen behandelt, allerdings wird sich sein Sehvermögen vermutlich nicht mehr wesentlich verbessern. Das beeinträchtigt ihn jedoch überhaupt nicht in seinem Alltag, er kommt bestens zurecht und ist ein ganz normaler, lebensfroher und liebevoller Kater. Er ist bereits geimpft und kastriert.

About Mario

What life with Mario looks like

Mario is a large kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Leise-Pfoten e.V. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mario, answered.

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