Adopt Simba

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 8 years

– friendly Fuss Status: available Name: Simba Breed: EKH Gender: neutered/malesprayed Color: red Age: 8 years Old Friendly with: Individual Prince The red-spotted, approximately 8-year-old Simba has come to our shelter as a surrender. Over time, the neighborhood around his old home has become home to a lot of feisty cats – and if there’s one thing Simba doesn’t appreciate, it’s intrusive fellow animals! Consequently, friendly Fuss has repeatedly taken off from his old home and hidden in a more distant neighborhood where there aren’t as many cats lounging in the gardens. After several attempts to bring him back, Simba has now come to us with the request to find him a new home with a “cat-calming” outdoor space. Simba is a great, well-socialized tomcat who loves to chat. It would be a laughing matter if he didn’t find a nice home with a cat-friendly family, preferably with children who are experienced with cats! Wished home: It would be wonderful if this nice tomcat could continue to reside as an Individual Prince – a quieter outdoor space would make the home perfect! Contact: Get in touch if you’d like to meet Simba!.

– freundlicher Fuss Status: offen Name: Simba Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Farbe: rot Alter: 8 Jahre Verträglich mit: Einzelprinz Der rotgetigerte, ca 8 Jahre alte Simba ist als Abgabetier in unseren Verein gekommen. In die Nachbarschaft seines alten Zuhauses waren im Laufe der Zeit jede Menge forsche Katzen eingezogen – und wenn Simba eines nicht so angenehm findet, sind es aufdringliche Artgenossen! Folglich hat der freundliche Fuss immer wieder Reißaus von seinem alten Zuhause genommen und ist in der entfernteren Nachbarschaft untergetaucht, wo nicht so viele Fellnasen im Garten sitzen. Nach diversen Versuchen der Rückführung ist Simba nun mit der Bitte, ihm ein neues Zuhause mit „katzenberuhigterem“ Freigang zu suchen, zu uns gekommen. Simba ist ein toller verschmuster Kater, der gern plappert und erzählt. Es wäre doch gelacht, wenn er nicht ein schönes Zuhause in einer netten Familie, gern mit katzenerfahrenen Kindern, finden würde ! Wunschzuhause: Auf jeden Fall wäre es großartig, wenn dieser nette Kater weiterhin als Einzelprinz residieren dürfte – verkehrsberuhigter Freigang macht das Zuhause perfekt! Kontakt: Melden Sie sich, wenn Sie Simba kennenlernen möchten! Anja Kalisch,

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 — Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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.
