Senior Kater Max sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾

Male · Adult · 9 years

Max the beloved senior cat came to us because his owner sadly passed away. Now this laid-back senior is looking for a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. Max is an absolute beginner cat and simply happiest when he can be with his people. He wishes for a home where he can curl up on the couch and even join them in bed — because closeness is his greatest desire. He doesn't particularly like being alone and just wants to be around all the time. However, there is a small peculiarity: Max really sticks to his people's legs all the time. Watch out for tripping hazards! 😄 He constantly circles around them and you really have to keep a close eye on him to avoid tripping over him. Therefore, we are looking for people who are still steady on their feet. Ideally, a home with people who are often at home would be perfect — especially older people who desire company and would not find Max's clingy nature bothersome but would love him just as much as we do. A quiet apartment would be perfect, a secured balcony would be lovely but is not necessary. Additionally, Max should still lose a little weight in his new home. His kidney values should also be monitored regularly, but he is currently doing well with them. Who will give our cuddly senior another loving home?

Der liebe Max kam zu uns, weil sein Besitzer leider verstorben ist. Nun sucht der gemütliche Senior ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er seinen Lebensabend genießen darf. Max ist ein absoluter Anfängerkater und einfach nur glücklich, wenn er bei seinen Menschen sein kann. Er wünscht sich ein Zuhause, in dem er mit auf die Couch und gerne auch mit ins Bett darf — denn Nähe ist für ihn das Allergrößte. Allein sein mag er nicht besonders, er möchte einfach immer dabei sein. Dabei gibt es allerdings eine kleine Besonderheit: Max klebt wirklich ständig an den Beinen seiner Menschen. Achtung Stolpergefahr! 😄 Er schleicht ununterbrochen um einen herum und man muss tatsächlich gut aufpassen, nicht über ihn zu fallen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für ihn Menschen, die noch sicher auf den Beinen sind. Am besten wäre ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die viel zuhause sind — gerne auch ältere Menschen, die sich Gesellschaft wünschen und Max’ anhängliche Art nicht als störend empfinden, sondern genauso lieben wie wir. Eine ruhige Wohnung wäre perfekt, ein gesicherter Balkon wäre schön, ist aber kein Muss. Außerdem sollte Max in seinem neuen Zuhause noch ein wenig an Gewicht verlieren. Seine Nierenwerte sollten ebenfalls regelmäßig im Auge behalten werden, aktuell kommt er damit aber gut zurecht. Wer schenkt unserem verschmusten Senior noch einmal ein liebevolles Zuhause?

What happens if Senior Kater Max sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾 isn't the right fit?
