How do I contact the shelter about Murphy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzverein Siegen 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 — Katzenschutzverein Siegen 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

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 Katzenschutzverein Siegen 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Murphy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 18 years

Murphy Privatvermittlung Murphy was born on 05.05.2008. Since 6 years, he has had problems with his kidneys, but these are well managed through the administration of cortisone tablets every two days (given in paste or liverwurst). The last blood test was on 12.05.2022, and all blood values (liver, kidneys, etc.) are excellent. His heart and lungs are also in good condition. For a little over a year, he has been suffering from the early stages of dementia. Therefore, he has been mobbed by our other cat for over a year, and unfortunately, this has been getting worse recently. Murphy would like to spend the whole day on the sofa with his person, snuggling without the fear of being attacked. It breaks my heart to have to give him up, but it can't continue like this. He still has several good years ahead, and he shouldn't spend them in constant fear. He is a pure indoor cat and should remain one.

Murphy Privatvermittlung Murphy wurde am 05.05.2008 geboren. Seit 6 Jahren hat er Probleme mit den Nieren,was aber durch Gabe von Kortisontabletten alle 2 Tage(gemörsert in Paste oder Leberwurst) super eingestellt ist.Letzte Blutuntersuchung war am 12.05.2022, alle Blutwerte (Leber, Nieren usw.) sind top, Herz und Lunge auch. Seit etwas mehr als einem Jahr leidet er an beginnender Demenz.Daher wird seit über einem Jahr von unserer anderen Katze gemobbt.In der letzten Zeit leider immer heftiger. Murphy möchte am liebsten den ganzen Tag mit seinem Menschen auf dem Sofa liegen und schmusen, ohne Angst zu haben wieder angegriffen zu werden. Es bricht mir das Herz ihn weggeben zu müssen, aber so geht es leider nicht weiter.Er hat bestimmt noch einige schöne Jahre, und die soll er nicht in ständiger Angst verbringen.Er ist eine reine Wohnungskatze und soll es auch bitte bleiben.

About Murphy

What life with Murphy looks like

Murphy is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzverein Siegen e.V. in Siegen.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
