Simba

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Simba – a great treasure with a very special charm 🐾 Our wonderful, white Maine-Coon tomcat Simba is a true unique. The sturdy fellow came to us as a private donation – not in the best condition, neglected, his fur severely neglected. But with lots of patience, care, and affection, we were able to fatten him up, neuter him, and give him back his magnificent appearance. Today, Simba shows himself as what he really is: an incredibly loving, grizzled, and friendly tomcat who greatly enjoys the company of humans. He can be picked up without a problem, loves cuddles, and is happy to receive them. However, Simba is not an "ordinary" tomcat – and precisely that makes him so special. He is deaf, which leads to him loudly expressing himself. His voice cannot be ignored, so his future humans should definitely have tolerant neighbors. Additionally, he is a little "clumsy" in his gross motor skills, sometimes appearing a bit awkward – an absolutely lovable klutz who quickly puts a smile on your face. Simba unfortunately did not learn to be combed from a young age, but he submits to it with good grace. Here, it still requires patient and sensitive hands to help him keep his beautiful fur in good condition. For Simba, we wish for a home with cat-experienced people who understand his special qualities and love him just as he is: loud, clumsy, incredibly clingy – and simply unique. Whoever gives this gentle giant a home will receive a loyal companion with a big heart. Born ca.

Simba – ein großer Schatz mit ganz besonderem Charme 🐾 Unser wunderschöner, weißer Maine-Coon-Kater Simba ist ein echtes Unikat. Der stattliche Kerl kam als private Abgabe zu uns – in keinem guten Zustand, verlottert, sein Fell stark vernachlässigt . Doch mit viel Geduld, Pflege und Zuwendung konnten wir ihn aufpäppeln, kastrieren und ihm sein prächtiges Aussehen zurückgeben. Heute zeigt sich Simba als das, was er wirklich ist: ein unglaublich lieber, verschmuster und zutraulicher Kater, der die Nähe zum Menschen sehr genießt. Er lässt sich problemlos auf den Arm nehmen, liebt Streicheleinheiten und fordert diese auch gern ein. Simba ist allerdings kein „gewöhnlicher“ Kater – und genau das macht ihn so besonders. Er ist taub, was dazu führt, dass er sich gerne lautstark mitteilt. Seine Stimme ist nicht zu überhören, weshalb seine zukünftigen Menschen unbedingt tolerante Nachbarn haben sollten. Außerdem ist er ein kleiner „grobmotorischer“ Tollpatsch, der manchmal etwas unbeholfen wirkt – ein absolut liebenswerter Trottel, der einem schnell ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubert. Das Kämmen kennt Simba leider nicht von klein auf, lässt es aber brav über sich ergehen. Hier braucht es weiterhin geduldige und einfühlsame Hände, die ihm helfen, sein schönes Fell in Schuss zu halten. Für Simba wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei katzenerfahrenen Menschen, die seine Besonderheiten verstehen und ihn so lieben, wie er ist: laut, tapsig, unglaublich anhänglich – und einfach einzigartig. Wer diesem sanften Riesen ein Zuhause schenkt, bekommt einen treuen Begleiter mit ganz großem Herzen. Geboren ca.2019, im Tierheim seit April 2026

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Plauen in Plauen.

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. Tierheim Plauen 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 — Tierheim Plauen 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 Tierheim Plauen 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.
