Martin

Scottish Fold · Male

I am Martin, a Scottish Fold cat. As a member of a so-called "qualified breed," I have health issues that you should be aware of if you think I'm great. My hind legs are already showing significant changes and causing problems, which is why I receive a special injection every month. I'm super nice, affectionate, and always want to be close to you. I'd also love a friendly cat companion, as I'm a social guy. Send me an email and we'll meet soon.

Besonderheiten: Wohnung, gesicherter Balkon oder Freigang. Ich bin der Martin. Da ich ein Scottish Fold Kater bin, gehöre ich zu einer sogenannten Qualzucht und wenn du mich toll findest, solltest du dich einmal ganz genau mit meiner Rasse und den gesundheitlichen Problemen beschäftigen! Meine Hinterbeine zeigen bereits starke Veränderungen und machen wir Probleme. Aus diesem Grund bekomme ich jeden Monat ein spezielles Medikament gespritzt. Was gbit es sonst von mir zu erzählen: ich bin super nett, verschmust und möchte immer in deiner Nähe sein. Über einen netten Katerkumpel würde ich mich auch freuen, denn ich bin ein geselliges Kerlchen. Schreibe doch eine Mail und dann sehen wir uns bestimmt bald.

About Martin

What life with Martin looks like

Martin is a adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Martin, answered.

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