Maxi

Male · Young · 1 year

Maxi was first surrendered as a rescue animal to the animal shelter on 14.02.26. Due to underfunding and lack of clearance, Max's mood deteriorated, and living with him became a trial. With good intentions, he was rehomed to give him the chance to live in a family. Shortly after his rehoming, life in his new family proved difficult, as the young tomcat frequently attacked his humans. Now, the poor little guy is back with us and has to share a room with our landlady, Silvie. Maxi has a lot to learn! An untrained brat whose crown must be taken off. Yes - even cats can be trained. Especially when they lack the necessary social behavior.

Maxi wurde erstmalig am 14.02.26 als Abgabetier im Tierheim abgegeben. Aus Unterforderung und aufgrund fehlenden Freigangs, wuchs Maxis schlechte Laune und das Zusammenleben mit ihm wurde zur Qual. Guten Gewissens gab man ihm ab, um ihm die Möglichkeit zu geben, in einer Familie nach draußen zu dürfen. Kurz nach seiner Abgabe, konnte Maxi vermittelt werden. Doch das Zusammenleben in seiner neuen Familie gestaltete sich schwierig, da der junge Kater seine Menschen immer häufiger attackierte. Nun sitzt der arme Schlumpf wieder bei uns und darf sich sein Zimmer mit unserer Hofdame Silvie teilen. Maxi muss lernen, viel lernen! Ein unerzogener Bengel, dessen Krönchen abgenommen werden muss. Ja - auch Katzen können trainiert werden. Vor allem, wenn ihnen das nötige Sozialverhalten fehlt. Im Tierheim kam es bislang zu keiner einzigen Attacke gegenüber uns Menschen, was natürlich nicht ausschließt, dass er es dennoch bei einer weiteren

About Maxi

What life with Maxi looks like

Maxi is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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 Maxi, answered.

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