How do I contact the shelter about Miezekatze?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hamburger Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Miezekatze on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Miezekatze if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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 Miezekatze 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 Miezekatze 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Miezekatze 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.

Miezekatze

Female · Senior · 14 years

This Miezekatze named Miezekatze is unfortunately not the first time she’s been with us at the animal shelter: she was rehomed for the first time in 2015, but came back into our care in December 2024. Here, we see Miezekatze as a friendly furred paw, who enjoys spending time with her loved ones and getting her black-and-white fur brushed. At first, the dear Miezekatze needs some time to gain trust and settle in. The little mouse is very important about not being pressured and having her boundaries respected: in the past, Miezekatze also used her teeth to make it clear when something didn’t please her. For this reason, a childless home is exactly right for her. There should also be no other cats in Miezekatze’s future home, as the little lady is a pure singleton. A walk is an absolute must for Miezekatze, to be true to her five-minute nature. She would also be thrilled with a comfortable scratching post. Unfortunately, Miezekatze has been waiting for over a year for a caring home. Until it’s time, we are happy to have people who support her with a sponsorship. If you would like to get to know Miezekatze better, you can find a video of her here. This cat needs outdoor access.

Diese Miezekatze namens Miezekatze ist leider nicht zum ersten Mal bei uns im Tierheim: 2015 wurde sie das erste Mal vermittelt, bis sie im Dezember 2024 erneut in unsere Obhut kam. Hier erleben wir Miezekatze als freundliche Samtpfote, die gerne Zeit mit ihren Liebsten verbringt und sich den schwarz-weißen Pelz kraulen lässt. Anfangs braucht die liebe Miezekatze etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu gewinnen und sich einzugewöhnen. Der kleinen Maus ist es sehr wichtig, nicht bedrängt zu werden und dass ihre Grenzen respektiert werden: In der Vergangenheit nutzte Miezekatze auch ihre Zähne, um deutlich zu machen, wenn ihr etwas nicht gefiel. Aus diesem Grund ist ein kinderloses Zuhause genau das Richtige für sie. Auch andere Katzen sollte es in Miezekatzes zukünftigem Zuhause nicht geben, da die kleine Dame eine reine Einzelprinzessin ist. Ein gesicherter Balkon oder eine gesicherte Terrasse sind ein absolutes Muss für Miezekatze, um ihren drolligen fünf Minuten gerecht zu werden. Auch über einen gemütlichen Kratzbaum würde sie sich riesig freuen. Leider wartet Miezekatze seit über einem Jahr auf ein fürsorgliches Zuhause. Bis es soweit ist und sie in ihr Für-Immer-Zuhause umziehen kann, freuen wir uns über Menschen, die sie mit einer Patenschaft unterstützen. Wenn Sie Miezekatze näher kennenlernen möchten, finden Sie hier ein Video von ihr. Wenn Sie dieser miezigen Samtpfote eine zweite Chance geben möchten und geduldig darauf warten können, dass sie den ersten Schritt macht, schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). 09.06.2026 (ab/lh)

About Miezekatze

What life with Miezekatze looks like

Miezekatze is a extra-large senior cat waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
