2x male EKH, BKH-Scottish fold-Mix born in 2018 & 2021 Available Not in an animal shelter! Private placement, contact see below! The animal shelter Cappel in Marburg does not take any responsibility for private placement ads or ads from other organizations. ________________________ Here the private ad: Due to changed living circumstances after separation and move, I am reluctantly seeking a new home for my three cats. Merlin (born 2018, black-white) and Maxi (born 2021, tabby) should ideally be rehomed together, as they are very attached to each other. Merlin was already with me before Maxi was born, and the two have grown up closely together. Merlin is playful, active, and also open. He is very affectionate and seeks human proximity. Additionally, he is a little charmer with a sense of humor. Maxi is a bit more balanced, more relaxed, and sovereign. He enjoys attention when approached calmly. Maxi is a Scottish-Fold-Mix. The father was already a mix, the mother Maya is a BKH. So far, Maxi shows no health limitations, not even in movement. Scottish Fold/Scottish Fold cats are a sadly currently very fashionable inbreeding. The reason for the small, "folded" ears is a hereditary disease that is selectively bred to achieve withered cartilage, causing the ear flaps to change shape. However, this genetic defect affects not only the ear cartilage but also cartilage in the rest of the body. It results in arthritis, joint swelling, and skeletal changes, which can manifest to varying degrees and in varying degrees of pain. The cats therefore have a limited quality of life, with clear pain in the entire musculoskeletal system as the disease progresses, and often have to be euthanized early if pain therapy no longer helps. Due to the withered ears, the cats' social communication is also severely limited. However, Merlin understands him wonderfully. More information can be found on the internet under the keyword Osteochondrodysplasia (OCD) in cats. The two are used to being on a leash, so a home with a safe way to be on a leash would be very important. They are also accustomed to living with dogs—also larger dogs. It is especially important to me that they go to loving and responsible hands. The placement is done with If interested or with questions, I look forward to a message.

2x männlich EKH, BKH-Scottish fold-Mix Geboren 2018 & 2021 Abgabetier Nicht im Tierheim! Privatvermittlung, Kontakt s. unten! Das Tierheim Cappel in Marburg übernimmt keine Gewähr für private Vermittlungsanzeigen und Anzeigen anderer Vereine. ________________________ Hier die Privatanzeige: Aufgrund veränderter Lebensumstände nach Trennung und Umzug suche ich schweren Herzens ein neues Zuhause für meine drei Katzen. Merlin (geb. 2018, schwarz-weiß) und Maxi (geb. 2021, getigert) sollen möglichst zusammen vermittelt werden, da sie sehr aneinander hängen. Merlin war bereits bei mir, bevor Maxi bei mir geboren wurde, und die beiden sind eng miteinander aufgewachsen. Merlin ist verspielt, aktiv und auch offen. Er ist sehr kontaktfreudig und sucht die Nähe zum menschen. Außerdem ist er ein kleiner Charmeur mit Humor. Maxi ist etwas ausgeglichener, eher entspannt und souverän. er genießt Aufmerksamkeit wenn man sich ihm ruhig nähert. Maxi ist ein Scottish-Fold-Mix. Der Vater war bereits ein Mix, die Mutter Maya ist eine BKH. Bisher zeigt Maxi keine gesundheitlichen Einschränkungen auch nicht in der Bewegung. Scottish Fold/Faltohrkatzen ist eine leider aktuell sehr in Mode geratene Qualzucht. Der Grund für die kleinen, „gefalteten“ Ohren ist eine Erbkrankheit, die gezielt angezüchtet wird, um verkümmerte Knorpel, wodurch die Ohrmuscheln ihre Form verändern, zu erreichen. Es sind aber von diesem Gendefekt nicht nur die Ohrknorpel betroffen, sondern auch Knorpel im restlichen Körper. Es kommt somit zu Arthrosen, Gelenkschwellungen und skelettalen Veränderungen, die sich unterschiedlich stark und schmerzhaft ausprägen können. Die Katzen haben dadurch eine eingeschränkte Lebensqualität, bei fortschreitender Erkrankung deutliche Schmerzen im gesamten Bewegungsapparat und müssen, wenn ihnen eine Schmerztherapie nicht mehr helfen kann, häufig verfrüht eingeschläfert werden. Durch die verkümmerten Ohren ist auch die soziale Kommunikation der Katzen sehr eingeschränkt. Mit Merlin versteht er sich aber wunderbar. Mehr Infos gibt es im Internet unter dem Stichwort Osteochondrodysplasie (OCD) bei der Katze. Die beiden sind Freigang gewohnt, weshalb ein Zuhause mit sicherer Möglichkeit zum Freigang sehr wichtig wäre. Sie sind außerdem mit Hunden – auch größeren Hunden – aufgewachsen und daran gewöhnt. Mir ist besonders wichtig, dass sie in liebevolle und verantwortungsvolle Hände kommen. Die Abgabe erfolgt mit Schutzvertrag. Bei Interesse oder Fragen freue ich mich über eine Nachricht.

Frequently asked

Adopting Von Privat Maya Merlin Maxi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Von Privat Maya Merlin Maxi?
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 Von Privat Maya Merlin Maxi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Von Privat Maya Merlin Maxi 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 Von Privat Maya Merlin Maxi 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 Von Privat Maya Merlin Maxi 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 Von Privat Maya Merlin Maxi 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.
