Adopt Theodore

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello, I am Theodore. Young, good-looking, and on the inside, a little gentleman. With strangers, however, I belong to the category of “First look, then decide.” I need a moment to convince myself that you’re not a vacuum cleaner in human form. Once this important test is passed, I thaw – and then you get a cuddly, gentle tomcat with plenty of whisker power. Going through life alone is not really my thing. I would like to have a young, friendly, and cuddly cat by my side who shows me how everyday life works. A kind of personal mentor for topics like: “People are nice,” “Cuddling is great,” and “It’s okay to be brave sometimes.” If you don’t already have a cat, no problem – we can certainly choose a suitable colleague or companion from the animal shelter together. After all, teamwork is everything. I’m not a fight-cat or an action hero, but rather the quiet heartbreaker. I slip slowly into your life, settle in somewhere eventually, and act as if I’ve always been there. With a little patience, a calm environment, and lots of love, I will become a loyal roommate who enjoys closeness, gently cuddles, and reliably ensures good mood. If you’re in the mood for a sensitive tomcat with a sense of humor and a bit of a startle update, then get in touch. I promise: I will grow beyond myself. At my own pace. And with support.

Hallo, ich bin Theodore. Jung, gut aussehend und innerlich ein kleiner Gentleman. Bei fremden Menschen gehöre ich allerdings zur Sorte „Erst mal gucken, dann entscheiden“. Ich brauche einen Moment, um mich davon zu überzeugen, dass du kein Staubsauger in Menschengestalt bist. Wenn diese wichtige Prüfung bestanden ist, taue ich auf – und dann bekommst du einen verschmusten, sanften Kater mit ordentlich Schnurrpotenzial. Alleine durchs Leben zu gehen ist nicht so mein Ding. Ich hätte gern eine junge, freundliche und verschmuste Katze an meiner Seite, die mir zeigt, wie der Alltag läuft. So eine Art persönliche Mentorin für Themen wie: „Menschen sind nett“, „Kuscheln ist großartig“ und „Man darf ruhig auch mal mutig sein“. Falls bei dir noch keine Katze wohnt, kein Problem – wir können sehr gern gemeinsam eine passende Kollegin oder einen Kollegen aus dem Tierheim aussuchen. Teamwork ist schließlich alles. Ich bin kein Krawallkater und kein Actionheld, sondern eher der leise Herzensbrecher. Ich schleiche mich langsam in dein Leben, setze mich irgendwann ganz selbstverständlich neben dich und tue so, als wäre ich schon immer da gewesen. Mit ein bisschen Geduld, einer ruhigen Umgebung und viel Liebe werde ich zu einem treuen Mitbewohner, der Nähe genießt, sanft kuschelt und zuverlässig für gute Laune sorgt. Wenn du also Lust auf einen sensiblen Kater mit Humor, Herz und leichtem Startschüchternheits-Update hast, dann melde dich. Ich verspreche: Ich wachse über mich hinaus. In meinem Tempo. Und mit Unterstützung.

About Theodore

What life with Theodore looks like

Theodore is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Marktoberdorf in Marktoberdorf.

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 Theodore, answered.

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