Mary

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Senior · 15 years

Mary came to the animal shelter after her owner passed away. The older female cat is a stubborn cat, for which we are looking for a quiet home. It's likely that Mary has not lived with other cats before and therefore shows signs of stress in the shelter now. We are looking for a home for her as a single cat in pure indoor housing. During the veterinary examination, she showed signs of pain in the back area, which is why regular pain medication may be necessary. If you are interested in one of our cats, please contact us by email. Describe how the cat will live with you and send us a phone number in your email. A caretaker will then contact you. Animal descriptions are based on observations at the shelter or information from third parties and do not represent guaranteed properties.

Mary kam ins Tierheim, nachdem ihr Besitzer verstorben ist. Die ältere Katzendame ist eine eigensinnige Katze, für welche wir ein ruhiges Zuhause suchen. Vermutlich hat Mary bisher nicht mit Artgenossen zusammen gelebt und zeigt sich demzufolge nun im Tierheim recht gestresst. Wir suchen für sie ein Zuhause als Einzelkatze in reiner Wohnungshaltung. Bei der tierärztlichen Untersuchung zeigte sie Schmerzanzeichen im Rückenbereich, weshalb regelmäßige Schmerzmittelgaben notwendig sein können. Wenn Sie Interesse an einer unserer Katzen haben, kontaktieren Sie uns bevorzugt per E-Mail. Schildern Sie uns in der Mail, wie die Katze bei Ihnen leben wird und senden Sie uns eine Telefonnummer zu. Es wird sich dann ein*e TierpflegerIn bei Ihnen melden. Tierbeschreibungen basieren auf Beobachtungen im Tierheim oder auf Informationen Dritter und stellen keine zugesicherten Eigenschaften dar.

About Mary

What life with Mary looks like

Mary is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Leipzig in Leipzig.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Mary, answered.

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