Maru ♂, Mira ♀ & Mupfel ♀

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Maru, Mira and Mupfel are looking for a new home together. Originally, a two-cat configuration was planned (they live with four cats in one home), but since the fourth cat, Milly, has a confident and independent personality and can be placed with an existing cat, they are now looking as a trio. The three have grown up together for many years and have a very close bond. Maru is particularly the calm center of the two girls. We are convinced that a separation would be too great a loss for the three and do not want to subject them to this pain of separation. Therefore, we are looking for a loving home for them together, where they can continue to live together. Maru was born around April 2019 on the Sartorius site in Göttingen and has lived in his current home since the end of 2019. Even when his owner was still a foster home, he lovingly cared for the kittens. He is a real "daddy": He cuddles, grooms, loves and plays with his girls. Maru is a gentle, caring cat and loves to observe the village from his lookout in the garden, in all weather. Mira, our surprise package, was born wild around November 2019 and has lived in her current home since January 2020. For a long time, she could not stand caresses at all and kept her people at arm's length. Even though she liked to lie on the sofa in the evenings, a certain safety distance was always maintained. At the end of 2024, Mira apparently decided that proximity might not be so bad, and changed her behavior almost overnight. She now likes to lie on her chest, let herself be stroked in bed in the morning and purrs quietly. However, she has not forgotten her stubborn side: If something becomes too much for her, she shows it clearly, before she also defends herself with a paw if necessary.

Maru, Mira und Mupfel suchen gemeinsam ein neues Zuhause. Eigentlich war zunächst eine 2er-Konstellation geplant (sie leben zu viert in einem Zuhause), da die vierte im Bunde, Milly, aber aufgrund ihres selbstbewussten und eigenständigen Charakters auch zu einem passenden vorhandenen anderen Katzentier vermittelt werden kann, suchen sie jetzt als Trio. Die drei sind über viele Jahre zusammengewachsen und haben eine sehr enge Verbindung. Besonders Maru ist der ruhende Mittelpunkt der beiden Mädels. Wir sind überzeugt, dass eine Trennung für die drei einen zu großen Verlust bedeuten würde und möchten ihnen diesen Trennungsschmerz nicht zumuten. Deshalb suchen wir für sie gemeinsam ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie weiterhin miteinander leben dürfen. Maru wurde etwa im 04/2019 auf dem Sartorius-Gelände in Göttingen geboren und lebt seit Ende 2019 in seinem bisherigen Zuhause. Schon damals, als seine Halterin noch Pflegestelle war, kümmerte er sich liebevoll um die Kitten. Er ist ein echter „Daddy“: Er kuschelt, putzt, liebt und spielt mit seinen Mädels. Maru ist ein sanfter, fürsorglicher Kater und liebt es, von seinem Ausguck im Garten das Dorf zu beobachten, bei jedem Wetter. Mira, unser Überraschungspaket, wurde etwa 11/2019 wild geboren und lebt seit Januar 2020 in ihrem bisherigen Zuhause. Lange konnte sie mit Streicheleinheiten überhaupt nichts anfangen und hielt ihre Menschen lieber auf Abstand. Auch wenn sie abends gerne mit auf dem Sofa lag, wurde dabei stets ein gewisser Sicherheitsabstand eingehalten. Ende 2024 hat Mira dann offenbar beschlossen, dass Nähe vielleicht doch gar nicht so schlecht ist, und änderte ihr Verhalten beinahe von einem Tag auf den anderen. Inzwischen liegt sie gerne auf der Brust, lässt sich morgens im Bett durchkraulen und schnurrt dabei ganz leise. Ganz vergessen hat sie ihre eigenwillige Seite allerdings nicht: Wenn ihr etwas zu viel wird, zeigt sie das deutlich, bevor sie sich notfalls auch einmal mit einer Pfote zur Wehr setzt.

What life with Maru ♂, Mira ♀ & Mupfel ♀ looks like

Maru ♂, Mira ♀ & Mupfel ♀ is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Göttinger Katzenschutz e.V. in Göttingen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maru ♂, Mira ♀ & Mupfel ♀, answered.

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