Mister Marble

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

I am Mister Marble, a cat from an estate, hoping for a loving senior cat home. I am a gentle cat, but as you can see, I am still quite shy and fearful. Losing my home at my age is not easy for a small cat's soul. So patience is required. With calmness and understanding, I can first observe and build trust. Due to my age, I have some health issues: I hardly have any teeth - so soft food is perfect for me. I have mild arthritis in my elbows, a kinked tail, and severe hip dysplasia. Will someone still want to love me? I wish for... a quiet forever home that gives me security and safety. As a single cat, I would be happiest. Small children should not live in the household, it would be too stressful for me. Do you want to give a sensitive soul a home? Then contact me via the inquiry form below or by phone at Garfield House 2 (daily 1-4 pm except Saturdays).

Ich bin Mister Marble stamme aus einem Nachlass und hoffe noch einmal auf das ganz große Glück für einen lieben Seniorkater. Das bin ich: Ich bin ein lieber Kater, aber wie man sieht noch ganz schön scheu und ängstlich. In meinem Alter nochmal das Zuhause zu verlieren, das ist eben nicht so einfach für eine kleine Katzenseele. Da ist also etwas Geduld gefragt. Mit Ruhe und Verständnis darf ich erst einmal beobachten und Vertrauen aufbauen. Meinem Alter entsprechend habe ich auch schon ein paar gesundheitliche Probleme: Ich hab kaum mehr Zähnchen – deshalb ist suppiges Futter für mich natürlich toll. In den Ellenbogen habe ich schon leichte Arthrosen, ich habe einen Knickschwanz und hochgradige Hüftdysplasie. Ob mich wohl trotzdem jemand liebhaben möchte? Ich wünsche mir … ein ruhiges Für-immer-Zuhause, das mir Geborgenheit und Sicherheit schenkt. Als Einzelkater bin ich vermutlich am glücklichsten. Kleinkinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben, das wäre mir zu stressig. Möchtest du einer sensiblen Seele ein Zuhause schenken? Dann melde dich über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Garfield-Haus 2 unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Mister Marble

What life with Mister Marble looks like

Mister Marble is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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 Mister Marble, answered.

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