Tobi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Toby is a 6-year-old black tomcat who remains very reserved and shy around people. He comes from a larger cat colony that lived on the property of an elderly woman. After her death, it was no longer possible to care for the animals. To prevent further uncontrolled suffering among cats, we caught and neutered them. Since the completely littered property, its proximity to the highway and sewage plant does not offer a secure future for the animals, we are now looking for a loving home for Toby and his fellow felines. Toby is a calm cat who needs time, patience and understanding above all else in order to gain trust. A confident, people-oriented companion could help him gradually overcome his shyness and adjust to his new life. We wish for Toby a quiet home with empathetic humans who will give him the time he needs and accept him as he is. Who will give this special cat the chance at a loving fresh start?

DE·Show original

Tobi ist ein etwa 6 Jahre alter schwarzer Kater, der Menschen gegenüber noch sehr zurückhaltend und scheu ist. Er stammt aus einer größeren Katzenkolonie, die auf dem Grundstück einer älteren Dame lebte. Nach ihrem Tod war eine Versorgung der Tiere nicht mehr möglich. Um weiteres unkontrolliertes Katzenleid zu verhindern, wurden die Katzen von uns eingefangen und kastriert. Da das völlig vermüllte Grundstück, die Nähe zur Autobahn und Kläranlage keine sichere Zukunft für die Tiere bietet, suchen wir nun für Tobi und seine Artgenossen ein liebevolles Zuhause.Tobi ist ein ruhiger Kater, der vor allem Zeit, Geduld und Verständnis braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Ein souveräner, menschenbezogener Artgenosse könnte ihm dabei helfen, seine Scheu nach und nach abzulegen und sich an sein neues Leben zu gewöhnen. Für Tobi wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei einfühlsamen Menschen, die ihm die Zeit geben, die er braucht, und ihn so annehmen, wie er ist. Wer schenkt diesem besonderen Kater die Chance auf einen liebevollen Neuanfang?

About Tobi

What life with Tobi looks like

Tobi is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierasyl Chemnitz 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. 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 Tobi, answered.

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