Maila

Mixed Breed · Female

European Shorthair – EKH * 2020 – tabby – female – neutered Free-roaming, possibly indoor housing with a secured balcony possible Single cat Other: Requires 2 x daily eye drops due to elevated intraocular pressure in one eye At the animal shelter since: 09/2026 Maila was surrendered to the animal shelter because her owner became seriously ill and could no longer keep her for health reasons. According to the previous owner, a change in Maila's left eye had apparently been visible for a long time, and a veterinary examination has now found that the intraocular pressure in this eye is slightly elevated, or at the upper limit. Since the pressure in her right eye was clearly lower, Maila had to receive pressure-lowering eye drops in her left eye 4 x daily for a few weeks. The treatment has worked well, and the intraocular pressure has normalized thanks to the drops. The dosage has now been reduced to 2 x daily, and Maila must go back to the vet for a follow-up check in November. The next steps will be decided after that. Maila may need eye drops long-term if the pressure does not eventually stay within the normal range on its own. Maila is an absolutely, totally cuddly and affectionate dream cat in temperament. She loves snuggling with her people and having her belly rubbed, and she can never get enough of it. That is why it is absolutely important for Maila to find a loving new home as soon as possible, where she will receive plenty of love and affection. Since Maila has so far been kept as a single cat, most recently indoors and previously apparently as a free-roaming cat, we first need to determine whether she absolutely requires outdoor access or whether indoor housing with a secured balcony would still be an option for her.

Europäisch Kurzhaar – EKH * 2020 – getigert – weiblich – kastriert Freigänger, evtl. Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon möglich Einzelkatze Sonstiges: Benötigt 2 x tgl. Augentropfen aufgrund erhöhtem Augeninnendruck auf einem Auge im Tierheim seit: 09/2026 Maila wurde im Tierheim abgegeben, da die Besitzerin sehr krank geworden ist und sie aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr halten konnte. Bei Maila war laut der Vorbesitzerin wohl schon immer eine Veränderung am linken Auge sichtbar und bei einer tierärztlichen Untersuchung wurde nun festgestellt, dass der Augeninnendruck auf diesem Auge leicht erhöht bzw. an der oberen Grenze ist. Da der Druck im rechten Auge deutlich niedriger war, musste Maila nun ein paar Wochen 4 x tgl. drucksenkende Augentropfen in ihr linkes Auge bekommen. Die Behandlung hat gut angeschlagen und der Augeninnendruck hat sich durch die Tropfen normalisiert. Die Tropfengabe wurde nun auf 2 x tgl. reduziert und im November muss Maila dann nochmal zur Kontrolle zum Tierarzt. Danach wird dann das weitere Vorgehen entschieden. Es kann sein, dass Maila dauerhaft Augentropfen bekommen muss wenn der Druck nicht irgendwann von alleine im Normalbereich bleibt. Maila ist vom Wesen her eine absolute total schmusige und anhängliche Traumkatze. Sie liebt es mit ihren Menschen zu kuscheln und den Bauch gekrault zu bekommen und kriegt gar nicht genug davon . Deshalb wäre es für Maila absolut wichtig, schnellstmöglich ein liebevolles neues Zuhause zu finden, in welchem Sie viel Liebe und Zuneigung bekommt. Da Maila bisher als Einzelkatze gehalten wurde, zuletzt in Wohnungshaltung und früher wohl als Freigänger, müssen wir nun erst schauen, ob sie zwingend Freilauf benötigt oder für sie weiterhin Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon in Frage käme.

About Maila

What life with Maila looks like

Maila is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Göppingen in Göppingen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maila, answered.

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