MARSIK

Male

Marsik was born around 2015 and came to our shelter after his owner passed away. The neutered cat is a European Shorthair and is looking for a quiet home in apartment living. Initially, Marsik is rather anxious and needs some time to gain trust. Once he has gotten used to his humans, he becomes affectionate and also enjoys petting and cuddling when he feels like it. We wish for Marsik a quiet home where he is given the time he needs to settle in. Larger children from about 12 years old are welcome to live with him, as long as they respect his desire for peace and retreat. Whoever wants to get to know Marsik should approach him with patience and understanding. Once he has gained trust, he shows how lovable and affectionate he can be.

Marsik wurde etwa 2015 geboren und kam zu uns ins Tierheim, nachdem sein Besitzer verstorben ist. Der kastrierte Kater ist ein Europäisch Kurzhaar und sucht ein ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung. Anfangs zeigt sich Marsik eher ängstlich und braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat er sich an seine Menschen gewöhnt, wird er zutraulich und genießt auch gerne Streicheleinheiten und Kuscheleinheiten, wenn ihm danach ist. Für Marsik wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem man ihm die Zeit gibt, die er braucht, um anzukommen. Größere Kinder ab etwa 12 Jahren dürfen gerne mit ihm zusammenleben, sofern sie seinen Wunsch nach Ruhe und Rückzug respektieren. Wer Marsik kennenlernen möchte, sollte ihm mit Geduld und Verständnis begegnen. Hat er einmal Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt er, wie liebenswürdig und verschmust er sein kann. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-Mail

About MARSIK

What life with MARSIK looks like

MARSIK is a adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

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 MARSIK, answered.

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