Tom-Kevin

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Tom-Kevin kam als Fundtier Ende Mai in unsere Obhut. Dem Kater war sofort anzusehen, dass er alle Kriterien eines „typischen Streuners“ erfüllt – er befand sich in einem schlechten Pflegezustand, voller Zecken und Flöhe, mit einem riesigen Abzess über dem Auge und einem großen Hämatom am Bauch. Dass er sich sofort gut handeln lies und sogar richtig menschenbezogen war, erstaunte uns dann doch etwas. Vermutlich hat er gelernt, dass wenn er uns Zweibeinern zugewandt ist, auch mal ein Leckerchen an der Haustür für ihn abfällt. Dennoch hat sich leider niemand ernsthaft um ihn gekümmert. Bis zu diesem Tag, als die aufmerksamen Finder endlich nicht mehr weggesehen haben und Tom-Kevin zu uns ins Tierheim brachten.Sein Abzess konnte operativ entfernt werden und ist gut verheilt. Sein Hämatom ist noch deutlich zu spüren, macht ihm jedoch aktuell keine Probleme und sollte zukünftig abschwellen. Der circa 8-jährige Kater ist ein richtiger Schmusetiger, der es liebt Aufmerksamkeiten von uns Menschen zu bekommen. Auch mit Artgenossen scheint Tom-Kevin gut zurecht zu kommen.Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein liebevolles Zuhause, in welchem er nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit die Möglichkeit auf Freigang erhält.

About Tom-Kevin

What life with Tom-Kevin looks like

Tom-Kevin is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Zwickau in Zwickau.

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 Tom-Kevin, answered.

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