Moppi

Mixed Breed · Male

tomcat Moppi came to our shelter in mid-March as a found animal. Afflicted with a severe cold, which is more serious and harder to treat due to his short nose, we took him in. We treated him for a long and intensive period, his therapy was a rollercoaster, and we often worried about the brave tomcat. Now, Moppi is in a condition where he is likely to stay – with chronic colds, which he can currently live with well. His spirits have not been dampened during the weeks of treatment. He eats well, is more of a laid-back companion, and loves to be cuddled and petted. Due to his longer fur, he must be brushed almost daily, but even this he enjoys, as long as a person is there and gives him attention. He truly conquers hearts in a storm. To support his immune system and as a mucolytic, he currently receives three medications, which can be given with his food. Unfortunately, we could not yet test his compatibility with other animals under shelter conditions. We wish Moppi a quiet and understanding home in a suitable apartment living environment, with people who are aware that regular vet visits will not be missed and who know that Moppi's cold will sometimes get better and sometimes worse over the years. Additionally, we wish Moppi a home where he is cherished for his lovable nature and not just his appearance or breed. The behavior in a family setting may therefore differ from the descriptions.

Kater Moppi kam Mitte März als Fundtier in unsere Obhut. Von starkem Schnupfen geplagt, welcher durch seine Kurznasigkeit noch folgenreicher und schwerer therapierbar ist, nahmen wir ihn auf. Wir behandelten ihn lange und intensiv, es ging während seiner Therapie bergauf und auch bergab, und immer wieder mussten wir um den tapferen Kater auch bangen. Nun ist Moppi auf einem Stand, wo er vermutlich bleiben wird – mit chronischen Schnupfen, womit er aktuell aber gut leben kann. Seinen Lebensmut hat er während der wochenlangen Behandlung zum Glück nicht eingebüßt. Er frisst gut, ist eher ein gediegener Zeitgenosse und liebt es über alle Maßen gekuschelt und geschmust zu werden. Durch sein längeres Fell, muss er fast täglich gebürstet werden, doch selbst das genießt Moppi, Hauptsache ein Mensch ist da und schenkt ihm Aufmerksamkeit. Er erobert Herzen wirklich im Sturm. Zur Unterstützung seines Immunsystems und als Schleimlöser erhält er aktuell drei Präparate, die ihm aber gut über das Futter verabreicht werden können. Wir konnten unter Tierheimbedingungen leider noch nicht die Verträglichkeit mit Artgenossen testen. Wir wünschen uns für Moppi ein ruhiges und verständnisvolles Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, bei Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierarztbesuche nicht ausbleiben werden und die wissen, dass der Schnupfen von Moppi über die Jahre immer wieder besser und auch deutlich schlechter werden kann. Außerdem wünschen wir uns für Moppi ein Zuhause, in dem er aufgrund seines liebenswürdigen Wesens geschätzt wird und nicht aufgrund seine Aussehens bzw seiner Rasse. Bitte beachten Sie: Die Tierbeschreibungen basieren auf Beobachtungen im Tierheim oder auf Informationen Dritter und stellen keine zugesicherten Eigenschaften dar. Das Verhalten in familiärer Unterbringung kann deshalb von den Beschreibungen abweichen.

About Moppi

What life with Moppi looks like

Moppi is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Zwickau in Zwickau.

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 Moppi, answered.

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