Mia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Magical Mia is looking for her forever home. Mia has been waiting for a place for a long time. It's completely incomprehensible, because she is called "Golden treasure" by her foster mom. She has made great progress in recent weeks: Mia has become more friendly and active and shows more of her loving nature. However, she remains a sensitive soul that gets easily startled - therefore she wishes for a quiet home without children, where she is met with patience and heart. Above all, Mia would like (secured) outdoor access to explore the world on silent paws. Alternatively, she would also be happy with a secured balcony - provided that you give her enough attention and mental stimulation. Because Mia loves to play and actively seeks contact with her humans. She enjoys cuddles in between, even though she is not a typical lap cat. With other cats, Mia has so far been rather reserved and prefers to withdraw. Therefore, she would be happiest as a single princess. For suitable apartment living with a balcony, one could cautiously test with a calm, social cat as company, whether it fits. Mia is about 3 years old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Whoever gives her a loving home will receive a very special companion for life.

Zauberhafte Mia sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause Mia wartet schon lange auf einen Platz. Völlig unverständlich, denn sie wird von ihrere Pflegemama als „Goldschatz“ bezeichnet. Sie hat in den letzten Wochen große Fortschritte gemacht: Mia ist zutraulicher und aktiver geworden und zeigt immer mehr von ihrem liebevollen Wesen. Dennoch bleibt sie ein sensibles Seelchen, das schnell erschrickt – deshalb wünscht sie sich ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder, wo man ihr mit Geduld und Herz begegnet. Am allerliebsten hätte Mia (gesicherten) Freigang, um die Welt auf leisen Pfoten zu erkunden. Alternativ würde sie sich aber auch mit einem gesicherten Balkon anfreunden – vorausgesetzt, man schenkt ihr genügend Aufmerksamkeit und Beschäftigung. Denn Mia liebt es zu spielen und sucht aktiv den Kontakt zu ihren Menschen. Kuscheleinheiten genießt sie zwischendurch sehr, auch wenn sie keine typische Schoßkatze ist. Mit anderen Katzen ist Mia bislang eher zurückhaltend und zieht sich lieber zurück. Daher wäre sie als Einzelprinzessin am glücklichsten. Bei Wohnungshaltung mit Balkon könnte man mit einer ruhigen, sozialen Katze als Gesellschaft vorsichtig testen, ob es passt. Mia ist etwa 3 Jahre alt, kastriert, geimpft und gechipt. Wer ihr ein liebevolles Zuhause schenkt, bekommt eine ganz besondere Gefährtin fürs Leben. Kontakt zu ihrer Pflegemama

About Mia

What life with Mia looks like

Mia is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 — Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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.
