Mia

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Cat Mia was born around 2023 and came to us as an unneutered stray on April 21, 2026, from Schwaney. Mia is outgoing and friendly. She is curious and explores everything new. She gets along well with fellow animals, but doesn't need them to be happy. The adventurous female cat definitely needs a walk after an adjustment period. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Katze Mia ist ca. 2023 geboren und kam als unkastrierte Fundkatze am 21.04.26 aus Schwaney zu uns. Mia ist aufgeschlossen und freundlich. Neugierig erkundigt sie alles Neue. Auch mit Artgenossen kommt sie ganz gut klar, braucht sie aber nicht zum Glücklichsein, sie ist mehr eine Einzelgängerin. Die entdeckungsfreudige Katzendame braucht auf jeden Fall nach einer Eingewöhnung Freigang.

About Mia

What life with Mia looks like

Mia is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

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. Tierheim Paderborn 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 Paderborn 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 Paderborn 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.
