How do I contact the shelter about Micky?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. 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 — Tierschutzverein Minden 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 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 Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. 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.

Micky

Mixed Breed · Male

What a distinguished fellow! For 10 years, he lived with his brother Finn in a family, but they had to move out. He is not at all satisfied with the situation at the animal shelter and lets his frustration out on the other cats in the shelter, even on his quiet brother Finn. Unfortunately, he is also currently letting his frustration out on us humans. Therefore, he might decide radically based on sympathy. Some get more than others… Hence, we could imagine that he would either move out again with his brother or be absolutely content as a solo king. He has only known apartment living so far, and a free roam could also appeal to him, but he is not familiar with the dangers of a busy environment and might not be able to assess them. His brother Finn is much more approachable in human contact. We are therefore looking for people who are cat-experienced and understand cat language well. With the two brothers as a pair, you get a snuggler (Micky) and a watcher (Finn). In his primary caregiver's family, Micky was also very snuggly. Please send us an email with information and photos about the future care of the cat or leave a message on our answering machine. We would very much like to arrange a meeting and show you our cats and possible housing options. In personal conversation, we individually address you and the needs of the individual animal and work out the best possible human-cat constellation with you. This cat needs outdoor access.

Was für ein stattlicher Typ! 10 Jahre lang hat er mit seinem Bruder Finn in einer Familie gelebt, aber sie mussten dann ausziehen. Er ist mit der Situation im Tierheim absolut nicht zufrieden und so lässt er seinen Ärger an den anderen Katzen im Katzenhaus aus, auch an seinen ruhigen Bruder Finn. Leider aber aktuell auch noch an uns Menschen. Da entscheidet er radikal nach Sympathie. Manche dürfen mehr, als andere… Daher könnten wir uns vorstellen, dass er zwar mit seinem Bruder wieder ausziehen könnte, aber auch als Einzelkönig absolut zufrieden wäre. Er kennt bisher nur die reine Wohnungshaltung, Freigang könnte ihm auch gefallen, allerdings kennt er die Gefahren der belebten Umwelt nicht und kann sie möglicherwiese nicht einschätzen. Sein Bruder Finn ist deutlich umgänglicher im Menschenkontakt. Wir suchen daher Menschen, die katzenerfahren sind und sich in Katzensprache gut auskennen. Mit den beiden Brüdern als Pärchen bekommt man einen Beobachter (Micky) und einen Kuschler (Finn). Bei seiner Bezugsperson in seiner Abgabefamilie war auch Micky sehr schmusig. Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen und Fotos über die zukünftige Haltung der Katze oder hinterlasse eine Nachricht auf unserem Anrufbeantworter. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Katzen, sowie mögliche Einrichtungsvarianten. Im persönlichen Gespräch gehen wir individuell auf dich und die Bedürfnisse des einzelnen Tieres ein und suchen die bestmögliche Mensch-Katzen-Konstellation mit dir aus.

About Micky

What life with Micky looks like

Micky is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

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.
