Uwe

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello, I am Uwe and I am here. Brave, charming, and absolutely irresistible. Especially with treats. I am, so to say, the more adventurous version of shy. While others are still figuring out whether humans are trustworthy, I have already taken the crucial first step: I take treats right out of their hand. Yes, you heard that right. I, Uwe, take the initiative. But only if it’s worth the culinary effort. I spent my childhood out in the woods. Nature, freedom, and a bit of daily survival training were on the agenda. So I know exactly how to make it through. Still, it would be really nice if I could retire with a full bowl and without constantly having to go on the hunt for food. I am curious, but I have my own head on my shoulders. I come when I am ready. I take my time to observe everything and then decide whether I am ready to take the next step. With patience and a few treats, a lot can be achieved. For my new home, I wish for people who take me as I am. No stress, no pressure, just understanding and maybe a little treat at the right time. That works wonders with me, just as a tip. A relaxed, self-assured cat would also be great. Someone who shows me that people can sometimes be given a chance. I am definitely interested, I just sometimes need a little push. And when I have settled in, I want to go outside again. Preferably in a quiet area where I can enjoy my excursions without constant car noise. So, if you are looking for a clever, easily bribable, and charming tomcat who slowly but surely makes his way into your heart, then I am your type. I am Uwe. And I come… for treats.

Hallo, ich bin der Uwe und auch dabei. Mutig, charmant und absolut bestechlich. Vor allem mit Leckerlis. Ich bin sozusagen die etwas abenteuerlustigere Version von schüchtern. Während andere noch überlegen, ob man Menschen überhaupt trauen kann, habe ich schon den wichtigen ersten Schritt gemacht: Ich nehme Snacks direkt aus der Hand. Ja, richtig gehört. Ich, Uwe, wage mich vor. Aber nur, wenn sich das kulinarisch auch lohnt. Meine Kindheit habe ich draußen im Wald verbracht. Natur, Freiheit und ein bisschen tägliches Survivaltraining standen auf dem Programm. Ich weiß also genau, wie man sich durchschlägt. Trotzdem wäre es jetzt echt schön, wenn ich meinen Ruhestand einläuten könnte. So mit vollem Napf und ohne ständig selbst auf Nahrungssuche gehen zu müssen. Ich bin neugierig, aber ich habe meinen eigenen Kopf. Ich komme, wenn ich bereit bin. Ich schaue mir alles ganz genau an und entscheide dann, ob ich den nächsten Schritt wage. Mit Geduld und ein paar Snacks lässt sich da aber schon einiges erreichen. Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir Menschen, die mich so nehmen, wie ich bin. Kein Stress, kein Druck, dafür Verständnis und vielleicht ein kleines Leckerli zur richtigen Zeit. Das wirkt bei mir Wunder, nur so als Tipp. Eine entspannte, selbstbewusste Katze wäre auch super. Jemand, der mir zeigt, dass man Menschen ruhig mal eine Chance geben kann. Ich bin nämlich definitiv interessiert, ich brauche nur manchmal einen kleinen Anstoß. Und wenn ich mich eingelebt habe, möchte ich unbedingt wieder nach draußen. Am liebsten in einer ruhigen Gegend, wo ich meine Streifzüge genießen kann, ohne dass ständig Autos vorbeirauschen. Also, wenn du einen cleveren, leicht bestechlichen und charmanten Kater suchst, der sich Stück für Stück in dein Herz schleicht, dann bin ich genau dein Typ. Ich bin Uwe. Und ich komme… für Leckerlis.

About Uwe

What life with Uwe looks like

Uwe is a 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 Uwe, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Uwe?
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 Uwe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Uwe 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 Uwe 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 Uwe 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 Uwe 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.
