Mia

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Our Mia in Schleckiehimmel - Video Mia is a shy cat who looks at you with big, cautious eyes. She can already be petted, but she still shows that she is not entirely comfortable with closeness by slightly pulling her head back. You can gain her trust well with treats and gradually build more security. With patience and understanding people, Mia will continue to warm up and learn to enjoy closeness more. We wish a quiet home with free access for Mia, where she can arrive at her own pace. This cat needs outdoor access.

Unsere Mia im Schleckiehimmel - Video Unsere Mia beim Spielen- Video Mia ist eine schüchterne Katze, die einen mit großen, vorsichtigen Augen anschaut. Sie lässt sich bereits streicheln, zeigt dabei aber noch, dass ihr die Nähe manchmal nicht ganz geheuer ist, indem sie den Kopf leicht zurückzieht. Mit Leckerlis kann man ihr Vertrauen gut gewinnen und Schritt für Schritt mehr Sicherheit aufbauen. Mit Geduld und einfühlsamen Menschen wird Mia weiter auftauen und lernen, Nähe mehr zu genießen. Für Mia wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Freigang, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf.

About Mia

What life with Mia looks like

Mia is a large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Kreistierheim Böblingen in Germany.

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 Mia, answered.

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