Mieke

Mixed Breed · Female

Mieke, a small kitten, had a tough start in life. She was too thin, alone, and without her mom, she had to fight early on. She was also heavily infested with fleas and worms. Fortunately, the little fighter turned her luck around and can now look forward to a better future. At first, Mieke is still a bit uncertain and needs a moment to gain trust. But those who give her some time will quickly learn her wonderful side: Mieke is actually a very sweet, affectionate cat who can enjoy the closeness to her humans once she feels safe. By nature, she is a more relaxed representative and does not need constant hustle and bustle around her. She much prefers a relaxed environment, loving attention, and cozy cuddling hours. We wish Mieke a loving home where she can finally arrive and leave her difficult first weeks of life behind. Since she needs company, she does not want to live alone. A friendly young cat with whom she can live and feel comfortable should therefore already be present. Those who give Mieke the time to gain trust at her own pace will find in her a gentle, affectionate companion who, after all the difficult experiences, finally deserves a life full of security.

DE·Show original

Die kleine Mieke hatte keinen leichten Start ins Leben. Viel zu dünn, ganz allein und ohne ihre Mama musste sie sich schon früh durchkämpfen. Dazu war sie stark verfloht und von Würmern geplagt. Zum Glück hat die kleine Kämpferin die Kurve noch bekommen und darf nun in eine bessere Zukunft blicken. Anfangs zeigt sich Mieke noch etwas unsicher und braucht einen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Doch wer ihr ein wenig Zeit gibt, lernt schnell ihre wundervolle Seite kennen: Mieke ist eigentlich eine ganz liebe, verschmuste Katze, die die Nähe zu ihren Menschen sehr genießen kann, sobald sie sich sicher fühlt. Vom Charakter her ist sie eher eine ruhigere Vertreterin und braucht nicht ständig Trubel um sich herum. Viel lieber genießt sie eine entspannte Umgebung, liebevolle Zuwendung und gemütliche Kuschelstunden. Für Mieke wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie endlich ankommen und ihre schwierigen ersten Lebenswochen hinter sich lassen darf. Da sie Gesellschaft braucht, möchte sie nicht alleine leben. Eine freundliche junge Katze, mit der sie zusammenleben und sich wohlfühlen kann, sollte deshalb bereits vorhanden sein. Wer Mieke die Zeit gibt, in ihrem eigenen Tempo Vertrauen zu fassen, wird in ihr eine sanfte, verschmuste Begleiterin finden, die nach all den schwierigen Erfahrungen endlich ein Leben voller Geborgenheit verdient hat.

About Mieke

What life with Mieke looks like

Mieke is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) in Aurich.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mieke, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mieke?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mieke on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mieke if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mieke 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 Mieke 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 Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mieke 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.
