Michel

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Romeo (black) and Michel (tiger-striped white), likely brothers, around 5 years old, are searching for new homes. Both came from poor husbandry but have adapted very well to our shelter and now would like to move into a nice new home. They can move together, but they can also be rehomed separately. Both are neutered, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and leukemia, and have received their first set of vaccinations. So far, they are only suitable for apartment living but would also be interested in a home with later outdoor access. For apartment living, a cat-safe balcony would be a must. Both are very loving cats. Romeo is the more outgoing type, while Michel is more cautious and anxious. We wish for both of them a super great home, especially since they didn’t have such a nice life in their early years. Who would like to meet them? For more information, contact our area or this breed.

Romeo (schwarz) und Michel (getigert-weiß), vermutlich Brüder, ca. 5 Jahre alt suchen neue Zuhause. Beide kommen aus einer schlechten Haltung, haben sich bei uns aber sehr gut eingelebt und jetzt möchten sie in ein schönes neues Zuhause umziehen. Gerne zusammen, sie können aber auch getrennt vermittelt werden. Beide sind kastriert, gechippt, negativ auf FIV und Leukose getestet und haben die erste Impfung. Bisher kennen sie nur Wohnungshaltung, wären aber auch an einem Zuhause mit späterem Freigang interessiert. Bei Wohnungshaltung wäre ein katzensicherer Balkon ein Muss. Beide sind sehr liebe Katzen. Romeo ist der eher forsche Typ, Michel ist etwas vorsichtiger und ängstlicher. Wir wünschen uns für beide ein supertolles Zuhause, zumal sie in den ersten Lebensjahren kein so schönes Leben hatten. Wer möchte sie besuchen? Info unter oder .

About Michel

What life with Michel looks like

Michel is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Schwetzingen und Umgebung e.V. 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 Michel, answered.

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