Mesto

Male

I am Mesto and you will hear me before you see me. You don't believe me? Just make an appointment and see for yourself. I am impatient and I want everything now, not later. Playing is my philosophy and a day without play and fun is a lost day. You are looking for a beautiful partner for life? With beautiful eyes and always interested in what you do? In-depth conversations are important to you and no matter what time of day? If you can understand that, then you are clearly my new favorite person and we have a match.

Besonderheiten: Wohnung, gesicherter Balkon oder Freigang. Ich bin der Mesto und mich hört man, bevor man mich sieht. Das glaubst du nicht? Dann mach doch einfach einen Termin und überzeuge dich. Ich bin ungeduldig und möchte alles am besten jetzt sofort und nicht erst gleich. Spielen ist meine Lebenseinstellung und ein Tag ohne Spiel und Spaß ist ein verlorener Tag. Du bist auf der Suche nach einem hübschen Partner fürs Leben? Mit schönen Augen und stets an allem Interessiert was du so machst? Tiefgründige Gespräche sind dir wichtig und egal zu welcher Uhrzeit? Wenn du das verstehen kannst, dann bist du ganz eindeutig mein neuer Lieblingsmensch und wir haben ein Match.

About Mesto

What life with Mesto looks like

Mesto is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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. 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 Mesto, answered.

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