Simon

Male · Adult · 6 years

Simon is looking for a home with a yard. Simon came to us as a found cat and has quickly become a real heartbreaker. The curious tomcat is very people-oriented, loves the closeness of his trusted people, and enjoys plenty of cuddles. With his cuddly nature, he conquers hearts in a storm. Simon also gets along very well with other cats and shows himself to be friendly and social when dealing with fellow animals. He is especially close to Jeanette, with whom he came to us together. That's why we would be very happy if the two of them could move into a new home together. For Simon, we wish for a loving home where he can enjoy a yard after an adjustment period, so he can explore his curiosity and discover the world. Anyone who wants to give the charming cuddly cat—and maybe also his girlfriend Jeanette—a home should get to know him personally. Simon looks forward to a visit!. This cat needs outdoor access.

Simon sucht ein Zuhause mit Freigang Kater Simon kam als Fundtier zu uns und hat sich schnell als echter Herzensbrecher entpuppt. Der neugierige Kater ist sehr menschenbezogen, liebt die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen und genießt ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten. Mit seiner verschmusten Art erobert er die Herzen im Sturm. Auch mit anderen Katzen versteht sich Simon sehr gut und zeigt sich im Umgang mit Artgenossen freundlich und sozial. Besonders eng verbunden ist er mit Jeanette, mit der er gemeinsam zu uns gekommen ist. Deshalb würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn die beiden zusammen in ein neues Zuhause ziehen dürften. Für Simon wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit wieder Freigang genießen kann, damit er seine Neugier ausleben und die Welt entdecken darf. Wer dem charmanten Schmusekater – und vielleicht auch seiner Freundin Jeanette – ein Zuhause schenken möchte, lernt ihn am besten persönlich kennen. Simon freut sich auf Besuch! 🐾

About Simon

What life with Simon looks like

Simon is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mönchengladbach in Mönchengladbach.

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 Simon, answered.

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