Maxi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

I am Maxi, a 9-year-old tomcat. After 7 wonderful years, I had to return to the animal shelter. Currently, I hide all day and suffer in silence. I would so much rather have my own home. I am not suitable for small children; they are too wild for me. I prefer a comfortable and quiet environment. Freigang is also very important to me. This cat needs outdoor access.

Ich bin Maxi, ein 9 Jahre alter Kater. Nach 7 schönen Jahren musste ich ins Tierheim zurück. Momentan verkrieche ich mich den ganzen Tag und leide still vor mich hin. Ich hätte so gerne ein eigenes Zuhause. Für kleine Kinder bin ich nicht geeignet, die sind mir zu wild. Viel lieber hab ich es gemütlich und ruhig. Auch Freigang ist mir sehr wichtig.

About Maxi

What life with Maxi looks like

Maxi is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. in Gunzenhausen.

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. Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. 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 — Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung 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 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 Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. 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.
