Matze *RESERVIERT*

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Age: born 2022/2023 (estimated) Gender: male/neutered compatibility with others: good with other animals husbandry: apartment with secured garden or free roam in a quiet neighborhood health: dewormed, treated for fleas, microchipped, vaccinated (cold/fever), tested negative (FIV+FeLV) Euro *RESERVED* Matze was brought to the shelter by the house tomcat, who invited him to eat. Unfortunately, there were already two cats in the home, and no space was available for a third. Matze was unfortunately unneutered and not marked. The owner could not be found. He is a really great tomcat, calm inside, getting along with all the other feline companions, whether older or still a kitten. When the young ones get too rambunctious, he communicates and disciplines them, but without a fuss or violence. Matze likes other cats. And he has nothing against tomcats either. Samtpfoten (velvet paws), which push against him without taking his no-thanks into consideration, he does not find so pleasant. Then he grumbles a bit, but nothing more happens from his side. Matze is also very friendly with people. He loves it when someone massages his head or strokes his back. In this case, one can also feel his full power. Matze has a pronounced jumping ability. Under the fur are many muscles, even if they are perhaps a bit rusty now. The big tomcat wants to have a place in the sun again in his new home. We believe that a secured garden would suffice, as he shows himself to be very homey at the foster home. But he should not completely give up on the world outside. A balcony would be too little. In his new home, nice feline company is a "must." Whether he knows children, we unfortunately do not know. For further information or interest, please fill out this questionnaire for Frau Portz. Many thanks. This cat needs outdoor access.

Alter: geb. 2022/2023 (geschätzt) Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Verträglichkeit: Zweittier Haltung: Wohnung mit gesichertem Garten oder Freigang in ruhiger Wohngegend Gesundheit: entwurmt, entfloht, gechippt, geimpft (Schnupfen/Seuche), negativ getestet (FIV+FeLV) Schutzgebühr: 210 Euro *RESERVIERT* Matze wurde vom Kater des Hauses mitgebracht und zum Essen eingeladen. Leider gab es aber schon zwei Katzen im Zuhause, für eine dritte Fellnase war kein Platz mehr da. Matze war leider unkastriert und nicht gekennzeichnet. Ein Besitzer ließ sich nicht ermitteln. Er ist ein wirklich toller Kater, in sich ruhend kommt er mit allen Fellpopos aus, egal ob älter oder noch Jungspund. Werden die Jungen zu übermütig, wird kommuniziert und zurecht gewiesen, aber ohne Krawall oder Gewalt. Er mag andere Katzen. Und auch gegen Kater hat er nichts einzuwenden. Samtpfoten, die ihm „auf die Pelle rücken“ ohne auf sein nein-Danke Rücksicht zu nehmen, findet er nicht so toll. Dann wird etwas gemurrt, mehr passiert von seiner Seite nicht. Menschen gegenüber ist Matze auch sehr freundlich. Er liebt es, wenn man ihn den Kopf massiert, oder auch am Rücken streichelt. Dabei kann man auch seine ganze Power spüren. Matze hat eine ausgeprägte Sprungkraft. Unter dem Fell sind ganz viele Muskeln, auch wenn die mittlerweile vielleicht etwas eingerostet sind. Der große Kater möchte in seinem neuen Zuhause wieder einen Platz an der Sonne. Wir glauben, dass ein gesicherter Garten reichen würde, denn er gibt sich auf der Pflegestelle als sehr häuslich. Aber so ganz auf die Welt da draußen soll er nicht verzichten. Ein Balkon dürfte zu wenig sein. In seinem neuen Zuhause ist nette Katzengesellschaft ein „muß“. Ob er Kinder kennt, wissen wir leider nicht. Bei Interesse oder für weitere Informationen füllen Sie bitte diesen Fragebogen für Frau Portz aus. Vielen Dank.

About Matze *RESERVIERT*

What life with Matze *RESERVIERT* looks like

Matze *RESERVIERT* is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund Köln in Köln.

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 Matze *RESERVIERT*, answered.

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