Sindbad

British Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

Sindbad is a 7-year-old British Shorthair male cat. When Sindbad came to us, he was very sick, which is why he lost his home, as the veterinary treatment was expensive and euthanasia was not an option for the veterinarian. Sindbad once weighed almost 10 kg and lost all his appetite due to a liver inflammation. As a result, he lost a lot of weight very quickly, which his liver could not handle. The diagnosis was hepatic lipidosis and his values were dramatically bad, it was not good for the dear cat. Sindbad was fed via gastric tube for about 10 days and received many infusions until his values stabilized somewhat. Since then, the beautiful gentle cat has lived at Orscheider Hof and we have fed him with a lot of effort from the entire team - because due to the long period of the gastric tube, Sindbad had forgotten how to eat! In the meantime, however, it also works - if you serve him the desired food (mostly fish)! His weight has stabilized at 6 kg - and that is absolutely fine for the big cat! Nevertheless, his future can opener should definitely take a look at Sindbad's eating behavior and be able to supplement if necessary! Desired home: Otherwise, Sindbad is a red-white male cat dream - so loving and affectionate - just a lovable couch potato! Other cats can be stolen to him - he wants to be the only prince!

schaut in die Seele Status: offen Name: Sindbad Rasse: BKH Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Farbe: creme rot weiß Alter: 7 Jahre Verträglich mit: liebt es Einzelprinz zu sein Sindbad ist ein 7 Jahre alter British Kurzhaar Kater. Als Sindbad zu uns kam, war er sehr krank, das war der Grund, warum er sein Zuhause verloren hat, denn die tierärztliche Behandlung war teuer und einschläfern für die Tierärztin keine Option. Sindbad hat einmal fast 10 kg auf die Waage gebracht und durch eine Leberentzündung sämtlichen Appetit verloren. Durch diese Umstände hat er sehr schnell viel zu viel abgenommen, was seine Leber nicht verkraftet hat. Die Diagnose lautete hepatische Lipidose und seine Werte waren dramatisch schlecht, es stand nicht gut um den lieben Kater. Sindbad wurde ca 10 Tage mittels Magensonde ernährt und hat viele Infusionen erhalten, bis seine Werte sich etwas stabilisiert hatten. Seitdem wohnt der wunderschöne sanfte Kater am Orscheider Hof und wir haben ihn mit viel Einsatz des gesamten Teams gepäppelt – denn durch den langen Zeitraum der Magensonde hatte Sindbad vergessen, wie man frisst! Mittlerweile klappt aber auch das wieder – wenn man ihm das gewünschte Futter (am liebsten Fisch) serviert! Sein Gewicht hat sich auf 6 kg eingependelt – und das ist für den großen Kater auch absolut in Ordnung! Dennoch sollte sein künftiger Dosenöffner auf jeden Fall einen Blick auf Sindbads Futterverhalten haben und gegebenenfalls in der Lage sein, beizufüttern! Wunschzuhause: Ansonsten ist Sindbad jedoch ein rot-weisser Katertraum – dermaßen lieb und verschmust – einfach ein liebenswerter Couch-Potatoe! Andere Katzen können ihm gestohlen bleiben – er wünscht sich Einzelprinz zu sein ! Kontakt: Wenn wir Ihnen unseren derzeitigen Kater-Liebling vorstellen dürfen, melden Sie sich gern unter .

About Sindbad

What life with Sindbad looks like

Sindbad is a large adult british 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sindbad, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sindbad?
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 Sindbad on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sindbad 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sindbad 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 Sindbad 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 Sindbad 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.
