Patenkatze * Jonny

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Jonny had to endure weeks in an empty apartment, barely cared for by a neighbor, after the loss of his primary caregiver. A compassionate animal friend eventually asked us for help. Since then, he has found a home in one of our very caring foster placements. Here, he is being nurtured with much patience, care, and loving attention, despite still being somewhat distressed and traumatized. Our older boy is now cautiously affectionate, without demanding – simply grateful. His health condition was not optimal upon intake. Unfortunately, he had been underfed in the past, leading to health issues and obesity, with his metabolism disrupted. Through good feeding and veterinary care, some improvement was achieved, but kidney insufficiency could not be avoided. Additionally, he occasionally suffers from kidney stones causing blood in his urine. To top it off, incontinence has now set in. Although medical care comes with significant costs, we have decided to give the beleaguered senior a comfortable retirement. In the tender "hand" of his foster mom, he is well cared for, and we are convinced that another move would break the poor young tomcat's heart – and we do not want that! The foster mom affectionately calls the good boy Graf Schnurrbert von Grummelstein – short Schnurri! If you wish to support us financially with Jonny's "retirement care" or are considering a sponsorship, we would be very grateful. Please contact us at the office at 09244 98 23168 or . Jonny says a feline thank you!

Jonny musste nach dem Verlust seiner Bezugsperson wochenlang, vom Nachbarn nur notdürftig versorgt, in einer leeren Wohnung ausharren. Eine mitfühlende Tierfreundin bat uns schließlich um Hilfe. Seitdem hat er sein Zuhause in einer unserer sehr fürsorglichen Pflegestellen gefunden. Hier wird das noch immer etwas verstörte und traumatisierte Maunzerle mit viel Geduld, Fürsorge und liebevoller Betreuung betüttelt. Zwischenzeitlich ist unser Opi vorsichtig anschmiegsam, ohne zu fordern – einfach nur dankbar. Sein Gesundheitszustand war bei der Übernahme nicht optimal. Leider wurde er in der Vergangenheit fehlernährt, was zu gesundheitlichen Problemen und Übergewicht führte, der gesamte Stoffwechsel war gestört. Durch gute Fütterung, unter tierärztlicher Betreuung, wurde zwar eine Besserung erzielt, eine Niereninsuffizienz konnte jedoch nicht vermieden werden. Darüber hinaus quälen ihn ab und an Nierensteine mit Blutabsonderungen im Urin. Zu guter Letzt hat sich jetzt noch eine Inkontinenz eingestellt. Obwohl die medizinische Betreuung mit erheblichen Kosten verbunden ist, haben wir uns entschlossen, dem gebeutelten Senior einen Altersruhesitz zu geben. In dem gefühlvollen „Händchen“ seiner Pflegemama ist er gut aufgehoben, und wir sind überzeugt, dass unserem armen Katerchen ein erneuter Umzug das Herz brechen würde – Das wollen wir nicht! Die Pflegemama nennt den guten Kerl übrigens liebevoll Graf Schnurrbert von Grummelstein – kurz Schnurri! Wenn Sie uns bei der „Altersversorgung“ von Jonny finanziell etwas unterstützen möchten oder Ihnen eventuell eine Patenschaft am Herzen liegt, wären wir sehr dankbar. Bitte melden Sie sich ggf. im Büro unter 09244 98 23168 oder . Jonny sagt tierischen Dank!

About Patenkatze * Jonny

What life with Patenkatze * Jonny looks like

Patenkatze * Jonny is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Patenkatze * Jonny, answered.

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