Moritz

Male · Adult · 9 years

Moritz came to us at our shelter together with Kira. Unfortunately, her owner passed away, and now we need to find a new home for him. Moritz and Kira are not particularly attached to each other, so they don't have to be rehomed together. They can either go separately or together. Moritz is a very affectionate tomcat who especially enjoys his freedom outdoors. He is particularly at home when hunting mice and seems to be the best at it. Nevertheless, he of course does not want to give up a warm spot on the sofa. Therefore, we would like to find a loving home for Moritz with a later outdoor access in a quiet environment. Moritz moves into his new home neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed.

DE·Show original

Moritz kam gemeinsam mit Kira zu uns ins Tierheim. Leider ist seine Besitzerin verstorben und nun dürfen wir für ihn ein neues Zuhause suchen. Moritz und Kira hängen nicht besonders aneinander, weshalb sie nicht zwingend gemeinsam vermittelt werden. Sie können also getrennt oder auch zusammen ausziehen. Moritz ist ein sehr lieber Kater, der seine Freiheit draußen besonders genießt. Vor allem beim Mäusejagen ist er ganz in seinem Element und offenbar die Nummer eins. Trotzdem möchte er auf ein warmes Plätzchen auf dem Sofa natürlich nicht verzichten. Für Moritz wünschen wir uns deshalb ein liebevolles Zuhause mit späterem Freigang in ruhiger Umgebung. Moritz zieht kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und entwurmt in sein neues Zuhause ein.

About Moritz

What life with Moritz looks like

Moritz is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Plattling in Plattling.

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 Moritz, answered.

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