Maxx

British Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Maxx is a rather shy cat who is still very uncertain and prefers to avoid disputes. He initially keeps a distance from strangers and needs time to gain trust. Maxx gets along well with other cats. Therefore, we are looking for a home for him with a suitable female or male cat friend. He would also be happy to bring one of his cat friends from our animal shelter. Who will give Maxx the necessary time, patience and love so that he can arrive in peace in his new home?

DE·Show original

Maxx ist ein eher schüchterner Kater, der noch sehr unsicher ist und Streitigkeiten lieber aus dem Weg geht. Fremden Menschen gegenüber hält er zunächst lieber etwas Abstand und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit anderen Katzen ist Maxx verträglich. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause mit einer passenden Katzenfreundin oder einem passenden Katzenfreund. Gerne kann er auch einen seiner Katzenfreunde aus unserem Tierheim mitbringen. Wer schenkt Maxx die nötige Zeit, Geduld und Liebe, damit er in seinem neuen Zuhause in Ruhe ankommen kann?

About Maxx

What life with Maxx looks like

Maxx is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. in Leverkusen.

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 Maxx, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maxx?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maxx on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maxx if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Leverkusen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Maxx 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 Maxx 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 Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maxx 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.
