Simba

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Simba - a three-legged heart cat is looking for his forever home. Simba is a handsome tiger cat, born around August 2023. The castrated cat has a beautiful pattern with a white muzzle and white paws - and although he is currently a bit cautious, there is a very special little guy in him. Still shy, but not without company In dealing with people, Simba is currently very shy and reserved. He needs patient people who give him the necessary time to build trust and arrive at his own pace. We are sure that with patience and calmness, more can still develop. With his kindred spirits, Simba shows a completely different side: he gets along well with other soft paws and enjoys their company. A home where a friendly cat buddy already lives could therefore be very nice for him. Three legs? No reason for Simba to give up on life! Simba has only three legs, but he gets along with it. Due to his special situation, we prefer a home with indoor housing for him. If outdoor access is desired, Simba would only be allowed in an extremely traffic-calmed and really safe area. Streets with a lot of traffic would not be suitable for him due to his limited mobility. Who gives Simba the time he needs? Simba came to us as a surrendered animal and is now waiting for someone to discover his cautious heart. He doesn't have to become a cuddly cat overnight - it's more important that he finds people who have patience, understanding and a loving home. Whoever gives Simba the necessary time may experience how a shy cat slowly becomes a trusted companion. If you are seriously interested, we would be happy to arrange an appointment to get to know each other.

&; Simba – dreibeiniger Herzenskatzer sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause &;&; Simba ist ein hübscher getigerter Kater, geboren etwa im August 2023. Der kastrierte Kater trägt eine wunderschöne Zeichnung mit weißer Schnauze und weißen Füßchen – und obwohl er momentan noch etwas vorsichtig ist, steckt in ihm ein ganz besonderer kleiner Kerl. &; Noch schüchtern, aber nicht ohne Gesellschaft Im Umgang mit Menschen ist Simba derzeit noch sehr scheu und zurückhaltend . Er braucht geduldige Menschen, die ihm die nötige Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen und in seinem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Wir sind sicher, dass sich mit Ruhe und Geduld noch einiges entwickeln kann. Mit seinen Artgenossen zeigt Simba dagegen eine ganz andere Seite: Mit anderen Samtpfoten versteht er sich gut und genießt ihre Gesellschaft. Ein Zuhause, in dem bereits ein freundlicher Katzenkumpel lebt, könnte daher sehr schön für ihn sein. &; Drei Beine? Für Simba kein Grund, auf Lebensfreude zu verzichten! Simba hat nur noch drei Beine , kommt damit aber zurecht. Aufgrund seiner besonderen Situation wünschen wir uns für ihn bevorzugt ein Zuhause mit reiner Wohnungshaltung . Sollte Freigang gewünscht sein, kommt für Simba ausschließlich ein extrem verkehrsberuhigter und wirklich sicherer Bereich infrage. Straßen mit viel Verkehr wären für ihn aufgrund seiner eingeschränkten Mobilität nicht geeignet. &;&; Wer schenkt Simba die Zeit, die er braucht? Simba kam als Abgabetier zu uns und wartet nun darauf, dass jemand sein vorsichtiges Herz entdeckt. Er muss nicht von heute auf morgen zum Schmusekater werden – viel wichtiger ist, dass er Menschen findet, die Geduld, Verständnis und ein liebevolles Zuhause mitbringen. Wer Simba die nötige Zeit schenkt, darf vielleicht erleben, wie aus einem schüchternen Kater langsam ein vertrauter Wegbegleiter wird. &;&;&; Bei ernsthaftem Interesse vereinbaren wir gerne einen Kennenlern-Termin unter .

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main in Germany.

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 Simba, answered.

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