Marlin

Unknown · Young · 3 years

I have always lived indoors, but I'm now discovering the outdoors and enjoy taking short walks on the patio. I would appreciate a secure outdoor area or the opportunity to occasionally get some fresh air. However, I don't want to live with other animals. Neither cats nor dogs are my desired roommates. Children are also not my thing. At the shelter, I make it clear when other cats get too close to me and let them know with a growl that I'd rather be left alone. With people, it's about liking them. I really like some caregivers, but others I don't get along with as well. Maybe the unfamiliar and sometimes stressful shelter situation also contributes to the fact that I'm not always showing my best side right now. I'm looking for a quiet home with people who respect my quirks and help me lose the extra pounds.

"Obwohl ich bisher immer im Haus gelebt habe, entdecke ich inzwischen gerne die Welt draußen und unternehme kleine Spaziergänge über die Terrasse. Ein gesicherter Außenbereich oder die Möglichkeit, gelegentlich frische Luft zu schnuppern, würde mir deshalb gefallen. Mit anderen Tieren möchte ich allerdings nichts zu tun haben. Weder Katzen noch Hunde gehören zu meinen Wunschmitbewohnern. Auch Kinder sind nicht mein Fall. Im Tierheim zeige ich deutlich, wenn mir andere Katzen zu nahe kommen, und mache mit Fauchen klar, dass ich lieber meine Ruhe haben möchte. Auch bei Menschen entscheidet bei mir die Sympathie. Manche Pfleger habe ich richtig gerne, mit anderen kann ich weniger anfangen. Vielleicht trägt auch die ungewohnte und manchmal stressige Tierheimsituation dazu bei, dass ich mich momentan nicht immer von meiner besten Seite zeige. Ich suche ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die meine Eigenheiten respektieren und mir helfen, die paar Pfunde zu viel auf den Rippen wieder loszuwerden."

About Marlin

What life with Marlin looks like

Marlin is a young adult cat waiting at SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg in Dudelange.

A young 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 Luxembourg

Shelters often complete vaccinations, microchipping, and a pet passport before adoption, but this varies. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marlin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marlin?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marlin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marlin if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg whether they will for Marlin, what they require (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 Marlin already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Marlin. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Marlin isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marlin 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
