Silvio

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Silvio is a very special furry friend who wins the hearts of his people by storm. This FIV-positive tomcat loves being in company, enjoys cuddling up close, and likes nothing better than spending the nights in bed with his favorite person. He is an uncomplicated housemate who appreciates attention and cuddles. A home full of warmth, with cozy spots to relax, a scratching post to watch the world from, and toys that enrich his everyday life, would make him very happy. He doesn't necessarily need other animals, but he gets along well with gentle, non-dominant cats. He could probably also become friends with cat-friendly dogs or older, understanding children. The only important thing is that he finds an environment where he can live without stress and where his special needs are respected. Silvio is looking for a home where he can be part of the family. A secured balcony or secure windows would allow him small adventures without losing his sense of security. Anyone who gives Silvio a loving forever home will gain a loyal companion who, with his affection and charm, brightens every day a little more. possible at cost price of 180 euros (including transport box) Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

Silvio ist eine ganz besondere Fellnase, die das Herz ihrer Menschen im Sturm erobert. Der FIV positive Kater liebt es, in Gesellschaft zu sein, schmiegt sich gerne an und verbringt am liebsten die Nächte bei seiner Bezugsperson im Bett. Er ist ein unkomplizierter Mitbewohner, der es genießt, wenn man ihm Aufmerksamkeit schenkt und mit ihm kuschelt. Ein Zuhause voller Wärme, mit gemütlichen Plätzen zum Entspannen, einem Kratzbaum zum Beobachten und Spielzeug, das seinen Alltag bereichert, würde ihn sehr glücklich machen. Andere Tiere braucht er nicht unbedingt, aber mit sanften, nicht dominanten Katzen kommt er gut zurecht. Auch mit katzenfreundlichen Hunden oder größeren verständnisvollen Kindern könnte er vermutlich Freundschaft schließen. Wichtig ist nur, dass er ein Umfeld findet, in dem er ohne Stress leben darf und seine besonderen Bedürfnisse respektiert werden. Silvio sucht ein Zuhause, in dem er Teil der Familie sein darf. Ein gesicherter Balkon oder sichere Fenster würden ihm kleine Abenteuer ermöglichen, ohne dass er seine Geborgenheit verliert. Wer Silvio ein liebevolles Für-immer-Zuhause schenkt, bekommt dafür einen treuen Gefährten, der mit seiner Anhänglichkeit und seinem Charme jeden Tag ein Stück heller macht. möglich zum Selbstkostenpreis 180 Euro (inklusive Transportbox) Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

About Silvio

What life with Silvio looks like

Silvio is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. in Hamburg.

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 Silvio, answered.

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