Marvin

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

BKH Mix Marvin (2012) was rehomed as a second cat to Leipzig on 21.02.15. My name is Marvin. I am male, neutered, and born around 2012. I have been waiting for a new home since January 2016. This is what my caretakers say about me: Marvin was surrendered with the help of the veterinary office, because the previous owner was overwhelmed by pet care and they kept multiplying. Marvin is a real cuddle monster who never leaves your side. He constantly begs with pawing to never stop or end the petting at all. He keeps his claws in during this. He has lived in a household with other cats, and there were also dogs present. Therefore, we would like to place Marvin in further animal company. He is ideal for beginners, and a household with children would be nice for many cuddles. Marvin can be rehomed in an apartment, and he can later get used to free roaming. Who wants to spend the evenings not watching TV, but rather cuddling with Marvin? He will reward you with lots of cuddles...... The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal may develop differently in its new home. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

BKH Mix Marvin (2012) konnte am 21.02.15 als Zweitmiez nach Leipzig vermittelt werden. Mein Name ist Marvin. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und circa 2012 geboren. Ich warte seit Januar 2016 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Marvin ist die Abgabe mit Hilfe des Veterinäramtes, da die Vorbesitzerin mit der Tierpflege überfordert war und sie sich stets vermehrten. Marvin ist ein richtiges Schmusemonster, der einem nicht von der Seite weicht.Stets fordert er mit pföteln dazu auf, das Streicheln um Himmels Willen nicht zu unterbrechen oder gar zu beenden. Seine Krallen lässt er dabei brav drin. Er hat in einem Haushalt mit weiteren Katzen gelebt, auch Hunde waren vorhanden.Daher möchten wir Marvin gern in weitere tierische Gesellschaft vermitteln. Für Anfänger ist er bestens geeignet, ein Haushalt mit Kindern wär schön für viele Kuscheleinheiten. Marvin kann in reine Wohnungshaltung vermittelt werden, ebenso kann er später an Freigang gewöhnt werden. Wer hat Lust, sich abends nicht dem Fernseher zu widmen, sondern eher dem verschmusten Marvin? Er dankt es mit vielen Kuscheleinheiten…….. Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Marvin

What life with Marvin looks like

Marvin is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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 Marvin, answered.

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