Matthäus

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

08/2026 Matthäus, born approx. 11/2025, neutered, at the shelter since 05/2026 Matthäus is a young tomcat who delights with his curious and lively nature. Appropriate for his age, he is very active, playful and full of energy. Romping, climbing and exploring his surroundings are among his favorite pastimes – especially when they involve reaching great heights. Whether it's a gate or a window grille, there is hardly any obstacle that can keep Matthäus from his next adventure. Matthäus is friendly toward people and not fearful. He is very sociable and approaches new situations with great curiosity. Cuddling is not yet one of his greatest hobbies, but with a little patience and trust, this can certainly develop over time. For this young wild one, we wish for a home where he has plenty of room to play, climb and explore. A secured balcony or a cat-proof garden would be a wonderful extra. Anyone looking for a lively, intelligent and joyful tomcat will find a wonderful companion in Matthäus. Who will give this special cuddly cat their heart and a forever home? He is currently in Romania and may travel once he has found a home. Travels microchipped and vaccinated (EU pet passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). Transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as is legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

08/2026 Matthäus, geboren ca. 11/2025, kastriert, im Shelter seit 05/2026 Matthäus ist ein junger Kater, der mit seiner neugierigen und aufgeweckten Art begeistert. Er ist altersentsprechend sehr aktiv, verspielt und steckt voller Tatendrang. Toben, Klettern und seine Umgebung erkunden gehören zu seinen Lieblingsbeschäftigungen – besonders, wenn es dabei hoch hinaus geht. Ob Gittertür oder Fenstergitter: Für Matthäus gibt es kaum ein Hindernis, dass ihn von seinem nächsten Abenteuer abhält. Menschen gegenüber ist Matthäus freundlich und nicht ängstlich. Er ist sehr sozial und begegnet neuen Situationen mit großer Neugier. Kuscheln gehört momentan noch nicht zu seinen größten Hobbys, doch mit etwas Geduld und Vertrauen kann sich das mit der Zeit sicher noch entwickeln. Für den jungen Wildfang wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem er genügend Platz zum Spielen, Klettern und Entdecken hat. Ein gesicherter Balkon oder ein katzensicherer Garten wären ein tolles Extra. Wer einen lebhaften, intelligenten und lebensfrohen Kater sucht, findet in Matthäus einen wunderbaren Begleiter. Wer schenkt diesem besonderen Schmusekater sein Herz und ein Für-immer-Zuhause? Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Matthäus

What life with Matthäus looks like

Matthäus is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Hope for Future e.V. 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.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Matthäus, answered.

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