Michi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Michi, red domestic shorthair (DSH) born in 2023, tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia, neutered, dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Available for visits in 82008 Unterhaching. Housing: suitable for apartment living (if a balcony is present, it must be securely netted to be cat-proof) or with outdoor access in a quiet, low-traffic area; also suitable as a barn cat, etc., provided good care is guaranteed. Affectionate but moody and challenging in temperament. Prefers to be the only cat. He is familiar with other cats but can be somewhat rough with fellow animals; any existing cats should be confident and assertive. Contact: Regina Ledersberger Email: Michi – an impetuous, moody indoor tomcat with character, born in 2023, seeking an understanding home. Michi, red tabby tomcat born in 2023, is fundamentally very trusting and slightly chubby, yet possesses a moody and difficult personality. He has been waiting for a home since September 2024. He enjoys being stroked on his back but absolutely not on his head or neck—he immediately rejects any attempt to touch those areas. He has a somewhat unruly demeanor and can sometimes appear insecure. Otherwise, Michi is lively and, for his age, quite active—chasing strings, fabric mice, and other toys or dashing through crinkle tunnels. He also enjoys interactive play with a fishing-pole toy, though he sometimes plays rather roughly or tears apart his toys enthusiastically. As long as you don’t excessively try to pet him, he’s manageable in daily life, but he clearly sets boundaries when it comes to being touched around his head, neck, or nape. However, he is not an aggressive tomcat! Still, you shouldn’t hold your hand out to him (for too long), as he might suddenly nip hard or swipe if his mood shifts. (It’s unknown what he experienced in his past; he was likely poorly socialized as a young tomcat. He spent his first years living alone with an elderly lady until she could no longer keep him due to health reasons.) We are looking for an experienced cat owner without children, ideally someone happy to take him as a single “prince,” who welcomes an unbalanced “problem cat”—either in an apartment setting (any existing balcony must absolutely be secured with cat-proof netting) where he’ll receive adequate mental and physical stimulation, or with outdoor access in a quiet, low-traffic location where he can keep himself occupied outside. Perhaps he’ll get another chance with someone who doesn’t mind that he isn’t a cuddly lap cat and who accepts him just as he is. If he builds trust with his person, it’s possible—though not guaranteed—that he may become more approachable over time. A stable yard, riding stable, or similar setup with a warm shelter and secure enclosure for acclimatization, where he can work as a mouser, would also be welcome, provided consistent care (including veterinary treatment if ever needed) is assured. Michi has lived with other cats before, but even then, he can occasionally be rough and dominant. This animal has a history of biting.
