Max

Male · Adult · 9 years

Max ist ein Kitten einer verwilderten Hauskatze und musste mittels Lebendfalle eingefangen werden. Wir waren für den Dreikäsehoch anfangs „bewaffnet bis unter die Zähne“ mit Handschuhen, Decken etc um ihn aus der Falle herauszuholen und bereiteten uns auf eine lange „Zähmungsphase“ vor- da hatten wir aber die Rechnung ohne den Max gemacht. Er beschloss nach 4 Tagen Ausnahmezustand, dass er nun zahm ist und streicheln absolut mega findet. Von dem kleinen Wildling ist nichts mehr zu erahnen. Max lebt mit 5 weiteren Katzen in seinem Alter in einem Zimmer und würde sich freuen, mit einem seiner Kumpel adoptiert zu werden.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is an adult cat waiting at Tierheim Frankenthal 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 Max, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Max?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Frankenthal 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 — Tierheim Frankenthal 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 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 Tierheim Frankenthal 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.
