Zarbex

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

🐾 Zarbex – little heartbreaker with a special gait is looking for his home🐾 Our dear Zarbex, about 4 years old, is a cat with a very special charm. He is curious, playful and has a lot of mischief in his head – a little rascal who loves to make his humans smile. But Zarbex can't just make trouble: he also loves his cuddles and enjoys the closeness to his humans very much. With his open and friendly nature, he quickly steals every heart. Due to a poorly healed fracture, Zarbex has a noticeable gait. But that doesn't stop him from enjoying life! Nevertheless, he should not be given outdoor access, so that he remains safe and protected. Zarbex does not want to share his humans and his home with other cats. Who will give this special cat a home where he can simply be Zarbex despite his little handicap? ❤️ 🐾 Zarbex at a glance * about 4 years old * playful, curious and affectionate * little rascal with a lot of charm * single-housed * no outdoor access due to an old, poorly healed fracture * noticeable gait, but lively character * looking for a loving home with a cat friend 🐱❤️

🐾 Zarbex – kleiner Herzensbrecher mit besonderem Gang sucht sein Zuhause🐾 Unser lieber Zarbex, etwa 4 Jahre alt, ist ein Kater mit ganz besonderem Charme. Er ist neugierig, verspielt und hat jede Menge Unsinn im Kopf – ein kleiner Frechdachs eben, der seine Menschen gerne zum Lächeln bringt. Doch Zarbex kann nicht nur Quatsch machen: Er liebt auch seine Kuscheleinheiten und genießt die Nähe zu seinen Menschen sehr. Mit seinem offenen und freundlichen Wesen schleicht er sich schnell in jedes Herz. Aufgrund eines schlecht verheilten Bruchs hat Zarbex ein auffälliges Gangbild. Das hält ihn aber nicht davon ab, das Leben zu genießen! Dennoch sollte er keinen Freigang bekommen, damit er sicher und geschützt bleibt. Zarbex möchte seine Menschen für sich und sein Zuhause nicht mit Artgenossen teilen. Wer schenkt diesem besonderen Kater ein Zuhause, in dem er trotz seines kleinen Handicaps einfach Zarbex sein darf? ❤️ 🐾 Zarbex auf einen Blick * ca. 4 Jahre alt * verspielt, neugierig und verschmust * kleiner Frechdachs mit viel Charme * Einzelhaltung * kein Freigang aufgrund eines alten, schlecht verheilten Bruchs * auffälliges Gangbild, aber lebensfroher Charakter * sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Katzenfreund 🐱❤️

About Zarbex

What life with Zarbex looks like

Zarbex is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Stendal in Stendal.

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 Zarbex, answered.

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