How do I contact the shelter about Mia?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart 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 — Tierheim Stuttgart 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 Tierheim Stuttgart 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.

Mia

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 20 years

Hello, my name is Mia, and I came to the animal shelter as a stray cat. Unfortunately, I’m deaf and blind, but I absolutely love being petted and cuddled. I’m urgently looking for a foster home—or even better, a new permanent home—because for an old cat like me, the shelter is pure stress. Of course, it goes without saying that I’ll need regular check-ups with the vet. If you live near the shelter, you can continue taking me there for vet visits. Apart from slightly elevated kidney values, my blood work is otherwise normal; nonetheless, I should be given a special kidney-friendly diet. Other cats and children shouldn’t live with you. To ensure that I can reliably find my litter box and food, you shouldn’t keep moving your furniture around constantly. You don’t necessarily need a balcony, but if you do have one, it absolutely must be securely cat-proofed. Do you think we’d be a good match? Then please get in touch using the following:

Hallo, mein Name ist Mia und kam als Fundkatze ins Tierheim. Ich bin leider taub und blind, liebe es aber sehr, wenn ich gestreichelt und geschmust werde. Ich suche ganz dringend eine Pflegestelle oder besser noch ein neues festes Zuhause, denn für so eine alte Katze wie ich es bin, ist das Tierheim purer Stress. Dass ich regelmäßig dem Tierarzt vorgestellt werden sollte, versteht sich von selbst. Wenn ihr in der Nähe vom Tierheim wohnt, könnt ihr mit mir auch weiterhin dort zum Tierarzt gehen. Bis auf leicht erhöhte Nierenwerte ist mein Blutbild unauffällig, trotzdem sollte ich spezielles Nierendiätfutter bekommen. Andere Katzen und Kinder sollten keine bei euch wohnen. Damit ich auch weiterhin zuverlässig auf die Katzentoilette und zu meinem Futter finde, solltet ihr nicht ständig eure Möbel umstellen. Ihr müsst nicht unbedingt einen Balkon haben, aber wenn ihr einen habt, sollte der auf jeden Fall katzensicher eingenetzt sein. Sie denken wir passen zusammen? Dann melden Sie sich gerne unter der

About Mia

What life with Mia looks like

Mia is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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.
