Micky

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 1 year

tomcat Micky is around May 2025 and came to us as a very shy young tomcat on November 7, 2025, from Hövelhof. Apparently, he didn't have much human contact until then. Micky needed a long time to get used to us and the new environment. But as with all young cats, curiosity eventually gets the better of him. He shows more and more interest in us, no longer runs away, but still maintains a safe distance. With patience, one will eventually earn Micky's trust. A confident second tomcat or second cat would certainly help him. A later release, after he has settled in and gained trust, should be possible. This cat needs outdoor access.

Kater Micky ist ca. Mai 2025 und kam als sehr scheuer junger Kater am 07.11.25 aus Hövelhof zu uns. Viel Menschenkontakt hatte er wohl bis dahin nicht. Micky brauchte lange um sich an uns und die neue Umgebung zu gewöhnen. Aber wie alle jungen Katzen siegt auch hier bekanntlich die Neugier. Er zeigt sich uns gegenüber immer mehr, läuft nicht mehr weg, hält aber auch den Sicherheitsabstand noch ein. Mit Geduld wird man aber auch Mickys Vertrauen irgendwann bekommen. Ein souveräner junger Zweitkater oder Zweitkatze würden ihm sicherlich sehr helfen. Späterer Freigang, nachdem er sich richtig eingelebt und Vertrauen gefasst hat, sollte gegeben sein.

About Micky

What life with Micky looks like

Micky 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 Micky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Micky?
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 Micky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Micky 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 Micky 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 Micky 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 Micky 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.
