Moritz

Male · Kitten · 2 months

A small Moritz appeared in 56754 Möntenich at a feeding station and seemed very hungry. He was secured using a trap and allowed to stay at a foster home. The little fellow is really grateful to be off the streets and regularly receive a filled bowl. When he arrived at his foster home, he was completely infested with worms. That is now a thing of the past. Moritz will still be chipped and vaccinated and then look for a responsible home where he never has to worry about the future again. Since he is a lively, lively kitten who likes to play and frolic, we wish him in such company :-). Interested parties are welcome to contact the animal shelter by phone. We will make the contact to his foster home.

Der kleine Moritz tauchte in 56754 Möntenich an einer Futterstelle auf und schien sehr ausgehungert. So wurde er mittels Falle gesichert und durfte auf einer Pflegestelle unterkommen. Der kleine Kerl ist wirklich dankbar von der Straße zu sein und regelmäßig ein gefülltes Näpfchen serviert zu bekommen. Als er auf seiner Pflegestelle ankam, war er komplett verwurmt. Das gehört nun der Vergangenheit an. Moritz wird noch gechippt und geimpft und macht sich dann auf die Suche nach einem verantwortungsvollen Zuhause, in dem er sich nie mehr Gedanken um die Zukunft machen muss. Da er ein munteres, aufgewecktes Katzenkind ist, das gerne spielt und tobt, wünschen wir uns ihn in ebensolche Gesellschaft :-). Interessenten dürfen sich gerne telefonisch im Tierheim melden. Wir stellen den Kontakt zu seiner Pflegestelle her.

About Moritz

What life with Moritz looks like

Moritz is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Mayen 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 Mayen 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 Mayen 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.
