Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Massimo is a stray cat. The round fellow is very affectionate towards people. What's particularly cute is that he repeatedly tries to touch the human's nose with his own. Depending on his mood, Massimo behaves differently. Some animal caregivers are adored, while he is initially more reserved and cautious with others. Nevertheless, he lets everything happen to him and doesn't scratch or bite when he has to put up with something unpleasant. Massimo doesn't like other cats and would like to have his home to himself. He will need outdoor access again later. If you would like to meet Massimo, please contact us via phone or the contact form. Your Name (required) Your Email Address (required) Subject Your Message

What life with Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre looks like

Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre 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 Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre 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 Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Massimo, ca. 3 Jahre 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.
