Mickey (FIV positive)

Male Β· Young Β· 2 years

Just STOP it!! How has this boy been up for adoption in Romania for over a year and not found anyone?! 🏠 We had to get involved to try and fix that! Micky is 2 years old and weighs around 4kg. He is neutered. Rescue Story in brief as told by his rescuer: β€œMicky was found in May 2025 after he had suffered a major trauma that left him with a right leg injury and transdiaphragmatic hernia, with abdominal organs bulging into the chest cavity. He was only 5-6 months old at the time. He received immediate medical care and was operated on. Fortunately, the surgery was a success, and after three weeks of hospitalization, we were able to take him home. Health or disability details: Micky has recovered very well after his surgery, his only medical disability being the fact that he is Fiv positive. Temperament details: Micky is a very outgoing cat, very chatty and eager to be petted and loved. He likes to interact with people in general, he doesn't shy away from strangers or even dogs he hasn't met before. He likes to be the centre of attention. Being as sociable as he is, I would say he is easily adaptable. He has the tendency to become overly excited when he plays and he may scratch while playing. He is used to being around cats now, but in the beginning he was reluctant to having feline companions. For safety reasons, I would suggest a home with no other cat/ another Fiv positive cat or a very tolerant and playful dog, so there's no possibility of him transmitting the Fiv. Truthfully he's a menace around dogs and wants to play play play so unless your dog would welcome that then please do not apply, unless you can keep them separate. It wouldn't be fair to the dog. Reasons for rehoming? – He needs a forever home. β€œ Travel funding? His adopter must pay the expenses of Β£300 plus giftaid.

About Mickey (FIV positive)

What life with Mickey (FIV positive) looks like

Mickey (FIV positive) is a small young adult cat waiting at Miracle in United Kingdom.

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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mickey (FIV positive), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mickey (FIV positive)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Miracle handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mickey (FIV positive) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mickey (FIV positive) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Miracle 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mickey (FIV positive) 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mickey (FIV positive) isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Miracle early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mickey (FIV positive) 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” 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.
