Mausi

Mixed Breed · Female

🌸 Mausi – a little wildflower is searching for her place 🌸 Mausi isn’t a cuddly kitten—at least not yet. She’s one of those delicate souls that you can’t hold onto tightly; instead, you can only accompany her with patience and respect. 💛 She’s already curious—she observes everything very closely—but as soon as things get too much for her, she feels pressured, or even just when someone looks at her, a soft hiss escapes her lips and she withdraws. While eating, she sometimes lets herself be petted briefly, but as soon as she’s had enough closeness, she simply walks away. So far, Mausi has never learned to trust people—and that’s precisely why she needs people now who don’t expect anything from her, but rather give her the freedom to decide for herself when she’d like to allow closeness—maybe someday, maybe never. A home with outdoor access is essential for Mausi. What she needs is a place where she’ll be welcomed exactly as she is. Ideally, this would be exclusively outdoors, with a stable serving as a retreat. Whoever takes Mausi into their home won’t be giving a typical cuddly cat a home—but rather offering a safe haven to a small, wild soul. 🌿 📋 Quick Overview * Age: approx. 1 year * Temperament: very fearful, mistrustful, often hisses, curious yet reserved * Interaction with humans: allows brief petting while eating, quickly withdraws * Living conditions: outdoor access absolutely required, or outdoors with a stable * Special features: needs people who don’t expect anything from her and give her time and freedom * Currently housed at the Stendal Animal Shelter

🌸 Mausi – eine kleine Wildblume sucht ihren Platz 🌸 Mausi ist kein Kuschelkätzchen – zumindest noch nicht. Sie ist eine dieser zarten Seelen, die man nicht festhalten, sondern nur mit Geduld und Respekt begleiten kann. 💛 Neugierig ist sie schon, sie beobachtet alles ganz genau – doch sobald es ihr zu viel wird, sie sich bedrängt fühlt oder man sie nur anschaut, kommt ein leises Fauchen und sie zieht sich zurück. Beim Fressen lässt sie sich manchmal streicheln, aber sobald sie genug Nähe gespürt hat, geht sie einfach. Mausi hat bisher nie gelernt, Menschen zu vertrauen. Und genau deshalb braucht sie jetzt Menschen, die nichts von ihr erwarten, sondern ihr einfach die Möglichkeit geben, selbst zu entscheiden, wann sie Nähe zulassen möchte – vielleicht, vielleicht aber auch nie. Ein Zuhause mit Freigang ist für Mausi unerlässlich. Was sie braucht, ist ein Platz, an dem sie willkommen ist – genau so, wie sie ist. Gerne auch ausschließlich draußen mit einem Stall als Rückzugsort. Wer Mausi bei sich aufnimmt, schenkt keinem typischen Schmusekätzchen ein Zuhause – sondern einer kleinen, wilden Seele einen sicheren Hafen. 🌿 📋 Kurzübersicht * Alter: ca. 1 Jahr * Charakter: sehr ängstlich, misstrauisch, faucht oft, neugierig aber zurückhaltend * Umgang mit Menschen: lässt sich beim Fressen kurz streicheln, zieht sich schnell zurück * Haltung: Freigang zwingend erforderlich oder draußen mit Stall * Besonderheiten: braucht Menschen, die nichts von ihr erwarten und ihr Zeit und Freiheit geben * untergebracht im Tierheim Stendal

About Mausi

What life with Mausi looks like

Mausi is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierheim Stendal in Stendal.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Mausi far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Stendal 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 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 Mausi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals 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 Stendal 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.
