Mausi

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 14 years

Mausi steht noch unter Schock. Mausi ist ein altes Mädchen. Ein 14 Jahre altes Mädchen, dass all ihre Liebe an ihre Menschen gegeben hat und nun alles verloren hat. Erst verstarb Mausis Frauchen. Danach hielten Mausi und ihr Herrchen ganz fest zusammen, waren unzertrennlich. Sie war seine treueste Gefährtin gegen die Einsamkeit, lag immer auf seinem Schoß und ließ sich kuscheln, doch nun verstarb auch er. Mehrere Tage hat die liebe Mausi neben ihm gelegen bis sie gefunden wurden. Gerade für ältere Menschen sind Tiere oft der wichtigste Sozialpartner, doch wenn diese Verbindung reißt, bleiben die alten Tiere oft traumatisierten und alleine zurück. Leider ist unsere Erfahrung das die meisten Angehörigen kein Interesse an diesen Tieren haben. Mausi hat nun nicht nur ihre vertraute Umgebung verloren, sondern ihr ganzes bisheriges Leben, ihre ganze kleine Katzenwelt. Statt dessen sitz die sanfte Katzenomi zutiefst traurig im Tierheim Melle. Dankbar nimmt Mausi unsere Zuwendung an, dann schnurrt sie vor sich hin und genießt es z. B. gebürstet und gekuschelt zu werden. Doch leider haben wir nicht den ganzen Tag für Mausi Zeit. Mausi ist tierärztlich durchgecheckt. Ihre Blutwerte sind für ihr Alter gut. Leider hatte Mausi wohl mal an einem Hinterbein einen Kreuzbandriss erlitten, deshalb und wegen ihrer Arthrose läuft sie nicht mehr rund. Wir hoffen für Mausi noch einmal Menschen zu finden, die diesem wunderbaren alten Mädchen, das so viel gegeben hat, noch einmal eine sorgenfreie Zeit schenken. Eine Zeit in der Mausi noch einmal ganz viel Liebe und Geborgenheit erfährt. Vielleicht könnte dieses Zuhause bei Dir sein?

About Mausi

What life with Mausi looks like

Mausi is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Melle in Melle.

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

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 Melle 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 Melle 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 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 Melle 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.
