Murphy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

08/2026 Murphy, born approx. 2023, neutered, at the shelter since 07/2026 This friendly tomcat is a calm and relaxed companion. He gets along well with both people and other cats and generally remains easygoing. At first he needs some time to build trust, but he allows himself to be petted. It is important for him that a friendly cat already lives in his new home. Alternatively, he is also happy to be adopted together with a suitable feline friend from the shelter. A home with feline company is therefore a requirement for him. Murphy should move into a household with an existing sociable cat – alternatively, he would also gladly bring along a suitable cat friend as company. He should live indoors; a secured balcony would be a plus. He is currently in Romania and is permitted to travel once he has found a home. He travels microchipped and vaccinated (EU pet passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). Transport (registered with TRACES) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as this is legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

08/2026 Murphy, geboren ca. 2023, kastriert, im Shelter seit 07/2026 Dieser freundliche Kater ist ein ruhiger und entspannter Zeitgenosse. Er versteht sich sowohl mit Menschen als auch mit anderen Katzen und zeigt sich insgesamt gelassen. Zu Beginn braucht er etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen, lässt sich aber streicheln. Für ihn ist es wichtig, dass bereits eine freundliche Katze im neuen Zuhause lebt. Alternativ kann er gerne auch gemeinsam mit einem passenden Katzenfreund aus dem Shelter adoptiert werden. Ein Zuhause mit Katzengesellschaft ist für ihn daher Voraussetzung. Murphy soll in ein Zuhause mit einer bereits vorhandenen sozialen Katze ziehen – alternativ bringt er auch gern einen passenden Katzenfreund oder eine Katzenfreundin als Gesellschaft mit. Er soll in Wohnungshaltung leben, gern darf es einen abgesicherten Balkon geben. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Murphy

What life with Murphy looks like

Murphy is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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 Murphy, answered.

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