Adopt Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Hey, I'm Max, a handsome little tomcat who will grow into a real stud. I was born around May 1.5 and was rescued with many other kitten siblings from an abandoned lot; without intervention, I wouldn't have made it. I'm still a bit more reserved than the rest of the kitten gang, but the people here are so kind to me, and I trust more every day. I'm doing pretty well now; I've already found a buddy, Luis, and I have no problem with the other bigger cats either. I don't hiss, and I'm very friendly and totally accommodating to all the cats here; my foster mom says I'm extremely social. An additional existing cat buddy would be okay, but being alone just isn't an option. I'm also, of course, house-trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed multiple times. I'm in good health, full of energy, and very interested in everything, always observing everything closely. I wish for a home with a secure garden/balcony and suitable for apartment living with plenty of climbing opportunities.

Hey ich bin Max, ein bildhübscher Katzenbube, der mal ein ganz stattlicher Kater werden wird. Ich bin ungefähr am 1.5.25 geboren und wurde mit ganz vielen Katzenkindern von einem verlassenen Hof gerettet, auch ich hätte sonst nicht überlebt. Noch bin ich etwas zurückhaltender als der Rest der Kitten Gang, wobei die Menschen so lieb zu mir sind, ich vertraue jeden Tag schon etwas mehr. Mir geht’s jetzt auch so gut, ich habe hier schon einen Kumpel, den Luis, gefunden und auch mit den anderen größeren Katzen überhaupt kein Problem. Ich fauche nicht und bin zu allen Katzen hier ganz lieb und total umgänglich, meine Pflegemama meint ich bin extrem sozial . Auch ein neuer bereits vorhandener Katzenkumpel wäre ok, nur alleine geht gar nicht. Ich bin auch natürlich, wie kann man so was überhaupt fragen stubenrein, erstgeimpft und gechippt, mehrfach entwurmt, gesund und munter und sehr interessiert an allem und beobachte immer alles ganz genau. Ich wünsche mir ein Zuhause mit gesichertem Garten/Balkon und geeigneter Wohnungshaltung mit vielen Klettermöglichkeiten. Bis dann, euer Max

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. in Ulm.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Max, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Max?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Max on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Max if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhilfe Ulm 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Max 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 Max 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 Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Max 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.
