Smoky

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Male Abgabetier/Indoor living Born approx. 2013 EKH Neuter yes / [] no In shelter since 23.04.2026 ________________________ We test every cat via rapid test for FIV ("Cat Aids", info here!) and FeLV ("Cat Leukosis", info here!) and clarify the status. We inform here about the risk of FIP disease ("Belly inflammation"). ________________________ Together with six other tomcats, Smoky was transferred to us on a heavy heart for health reasons. He lives in one of our foster homes near Marburg and can be visited there by appointment (contact via the animal shelter). Smoky is a very affectionate, cute tomcat, very sociable, friendly, loving, would like to be stroked all day and allowed to be with humans. He is ideally suited for people who take it easy and want to make themselves comfortable on the sofa with a cat on their lap. He gets along well with other cats and toms and would like to move into suitable company - a partner cat should be loving, tolerant and unagitated and not mind sharing their humans' attention with Smoky. He could also move out with the senior tomcat Norbert, with whom he lives together, but this is not a must. Health-wise, Smoky is quite fit for his advanced age, he only has one tooth left, passable blood values except for a slightly elevated kidney value and shows good appetite. He gets Semintra and Porus One to support the kidneys and copes very well with it. His heart was scanned because a side noise was noticeable, he has cardiomyopathy, which is compensated. Therapy is not currently necessary, a check-up should be carried out again in 2027. Smoky knows indoor living and would like to move back into such. A balcony would be nice, but it's not absolutely necessary at all. The most important thing for him is the company of his humans, cuddling time together and a nice fellow on his side. We wish Smoky from our hearts that he may soon experience this happiness again for many more beautiful years! ________________________ (Stand 02.07.2026) (Click on pictures to see them in full size!) The description reflects the current status, but we reserve the right to make changes or reassessments. It can always happen that an animal shows itself differently or develops differently here at the shelter as well as in a new home due to changed circumstances. Back to overview

männlich Abgabetier/Wohnungshaltung Geboren ca. 2013 EKH Kastriert ja / [] nein Im Tierheim seit 23.04.2026 ________________________ Wir testen jede Katze per Schnelltest auf FIV („Katzen-Aids“, Infos hier!) und FeLV („Katzen-Leukose“, Infos hier!) und klären über den Status auf. Wir informieren hier über das Risiko einer FIP-Erkrankung („Bauchfellentzündung“). ________________________ Gemeinsam mit sechs weiteren Katern wurde Smoky schweren Herzens aus gesundheitlichen Gründen an uns übereignet. Er wohnt auf einer unserer Pflegestellen in der Nähe von Marburg und kann dort nach Terminabsprache (Kontakt über das Tierheim) besucht werden. Smoky ist ein ganz herzlicher, niedlicher Kater, sehr verschmust, sehr menschenbezogen, freundlich, lieb, möchte gerne einfach den ganzen Tag gestreichelt werden und beim Menschen sein dürfen. Er eignet sich ganz wunderbar für Menschen, die es ruhiger angehen lassen und es sich auf dem Sofa mit einer Katze auf dem Schoß gemütlich machen möchten. Er ist gut verträglich mit anderen Katzen und Katern und möchte gerne in passende Gesellschaft ziehen – eine Partnerkatze sollte lieb, tolerant und unaufgeregt sein und sich nicht daran stören, die Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen mit Smoky teilen zu müssen. Er könnte auch mit dem Seniorkater Norbert, mit dem er zusammenlebt, ausziehen, dies ist aber kein Muss. Gesundheitlich ist Smoky für sein fortgeschrittenes Alter recht fit, er hat nur noch einen Zahn, passable Blutwerte bis auf einen leicht erhöhten Nierenwert und zeigt gut Appetit. Er bekommt zur Unterstützung der Nieren Semintra und Porus One und kommt damit sehr gut zurecht. Sein Herz haben wir schallen lassen, da ein Nebengeräusch auffällig war, er hat eine Kadiomypathie, die aber kompensiert wird. Eine Therapie ist aktuell nicht nötig, eine Kontrolle sollte in 2027 wieder erfolgen. Smoky kennt reine Wohnungshaltung und kann gerne wieder in solche ziehen, ein Balkon wäre schön, ist aber überhaupt kein Muss. Am wichtigsten ist ihm viel Gesellschaft seiner Menschen, gemeinsame Schmusezeit und ein netter Artgenosse an der Seite. Wir wünschen Smoky von Herzen, dass er dieses Glück bald wieder für noch viele schöne Jahre erleben darf! ________________________ (Stand 02.07.2026) (Bilder anklicken um sie in voller Größe zu sehen!)

Es kann immer passieren, dass ein Tier sich aufgrund veränderter Umstände sowohl hier im Tierheim als auch im neuen Zuhause anders zeigt oder anders entwickelt.

About Smoky

What life with Smoky looks like

Smoky is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Marburg in Marburg.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Smoky, answered.

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