Mausi

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 15 years

I am Mausi … a loving cat who wants to find great happiness once more. This is me: I was found injured, likely hit by a car. I had a severe dislocation of the right elbow and shoulder blade. Now I've overcome everything and mostly just wish for peace, safety, and loving people by my side. I am a very friendly and calm senior cat who enjoys cuddling and human companionship when trust is established. At first, I may be cautious with new people, but after trust is built, I purr and enjoy contact. I also have a very big appetite for food – probably having to go without regular feeding for a long time, I am still quite ravenous. I wish for … a loving, peaceful home where I can feel safe and loved for the rest of my life. I would love to have a secure balcony or fenced garden for fresh air. Other pets or small children should not live in my home. As I am still recovering a bit, I should not be offered high catwalks or scratching posts in my new home initially. Once I am fully recovered, I will definitely be happy about them again. Until then, stairs or other climbing aids would make the adjustment period much easier for me. Will you give me a safe and loving home? Please contact us through the inquiry form below – I would be very happy to hear from you.

Ich bin Mausi … eine liebe Katzenomi, die noch einmal das ganz große Glück finden möchte. Das bin ich: Ich wurde verletzt gefunden, vermutlich angefahren. Ich hatte eine schwere Ausrenkung des rechten Ellenbogens sowie des Schulterblatts. Inzwischen habe ich alles gut überstanden und wünsche mir nun vor allem Ruhe, Sicherheit und liebe Menschen an meiner Seite. Ich bin eine sehr freundliche und ruhige Seniorin, die bei Vertrauen gern kuschelt und menschliche Nähe sehr genießt. Anfangs schaue ich vorsichtig bei neuen Menschen, aber nach Vertrauen schnurre ich und freue mich über Kontakt. Vor allem Futter mag ich auch sehr – vermutlich musste ich längere Zeit ohne regelmäßige Versorgung auskommen und bin deshalb jetzt noch recht verfressen. Ich wünsche mir … ein liebevolles, ruhiges Zuhause, in dem ich mich für den Rest meines Lebens geborgen und geliebt fühlen kann. Sehr gern hätte ich einen abgesicherten Balkon oder gesicherten Garten zum sicheren Frischluftschnappen. Andere Tiere oder Kleinkinder sollten nicht in meinem Zuhause leben. Da ich mich aktuell noch ein bisschen erhole, sollten mir im neuen Zuhause zunächst keine hohen Catwalks oder Kratzbäume angeboten werden. Wenn ich vollständig genesen bin, freue ich mich bestimmt wieder darüber. Bis dahin würden mir Treppen oder andere Aufstiegshilfen die Eingewöhnungszeit deutlich erleichtern. Schenkst du mir ein sicheres und geborgenes Zuhause? Melde dich bei Interesse über das Anfrageformular unten – ich würde mich sehr freuen.

About Mausi

What life with Mausi looks like

Mausi is a large senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Mausi, answered.

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