| Felix

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

A somewhat aging indoor cat is looking for a lovely, new home. My name is Felix, and as my name suggests, I’m a male cat (European Shorthair), though I’ve been neutered. I was born on August 3, 2014, and I’m an indoor cat; however, my current owner says that in my younger years, I did have access to the outdoors. At my age, it’s not uncommon to have certain health conditions—my owner understands that I have a narrowing or thickening of the heart wall. Right now, I don’t need any medication. When I exert myself physically—for example, when playing—I sometimes start panting heavily, but then I’ll naturally stop playing on my own. My veterinarian recommends a heart ultrasound for monitoring purposes in 2027. At the vet’s office, I’m always very easy to care for. Until about two years ago, I was a calm and well-balanced cat—I’d enjoy my “five to ten minutes” of activity and otherwise spent most of my time sleeping. There were no problems with me until a family change came into my life. Since then, my behavior has changed somewhat. I’m often restless, pacing around the apartment and meowing—often right by the front door. Playing no longer brings me much joy, and I also need less sleep now. Perhaps having secure outdoor access would help me find my peace again. I’m looking for loving people who can give me a calm home with plenty of time, patience, and understanding. Despite my little quirks, I’m actually a very sweet cat. Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience living with other animals. If you’d like to get to know me and give me a fresh start and a shared future, please contact the animal shelter. The staff will arrange for you to meet my owner.

ein schon etwas in die Jahre gekommener Wohnungskater sucht ein schönes, neues Zuhause Mein Name ist Felix und wie mein Name verrät, bin ich ein Kater (Europäisch Kurzhaar), jedoch kastriert. Ich bin am 03.08.2014 geboren und eine Wohnungskatze, mein jetziger Besitzer meint aber, dass ich in meiner Jugend auch Freigang hatte. In meinem Alter kann man auch schon mal gesundheitliche Besonderheiten haben, bei mir ist es, soweit mein Besitzer es richtig verstanden hat, eine Verengung oder Verdickung der Herzwand. Ich benötige aktuell keine Medikamente. Bei körperlicher Anstrengung, z.B. beim Spielen kommt es vor, dass ich stark hechle, aber dann das Spiel auch von allein beende. Meine Tierärztin hält in 2027 ein Herzultraschall zur Kontrolle für erforderlich. In der Tierarztpraxis bin ich auch immer sehr pflegeleicht. Bis vor etwa 2 Jahren war ich ein ruhiger und ausgeglichener Kater, habe meine „5 bis 10 Minuten“ gehabt und ansonsten viel geschlafen. Es gab keine Probleme mit mir, bis eine familiäre Veränderung in mein Leben trat. Seitdem hat sich mein Verhalten etwas verändert. Ich bin oft unruhig, laufe in der Wohnung umher und miaue, häufig vor der Haustür. Das Spielen macht nicht mehr richtig Spaß und Schlaf brauche ich auch weniger. Vielleicht würde mir ein gesicherter Freigang helfen, meine Ruhe wieder zu finden. Ich suche liebe Menschen, die mir mit viel Zeit, Geduld und Verständnis ein ruhiges Zuhause geben. Mit Rücksicht auf meine kleinen Besonderheiten bin ich aber doch ein ganz lieber Kater. Erfahrungen im Zusammenleben mit anderen Tieren habe ich leider nicht. Wenn sie mich kennenlernen möchten, um mir eine neue Perspektive und eine gemeinsame Zukunft zu geben, wenden sie sich bitte an das Tierheim. Die Mitarbeiterinnen vermitteln den Kontakt zu meinem Besitzer.

About | Felix

What life with | Felix looks like

| Felix is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Radeberg in Radeberg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting | Felix, answered.

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