Adopt Mika

British Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Hello, I am Mika, along with another cat and a little dachshund, I was seized and brought to the animal shelter. We are so-called eBay victims and ended up with a woman who actually has a no-pet policy. Now we are here, searching for a new home where we will be better off and not passed around like trophies. To prevent more animals from suffering as we have, this eBay trade must stop. Now about me: I am a great mouse, but sometimes a bit grumpy. At first, people seem a bit odd to me, but once I get to know them, I will also let them pet me. Older children would not be a problem in my new home, as long as they accept my boundaries and I also have a place to retreat to if it gets too much for me. After my settling-in period, I would like to enjoy some free roam and explore the outdoors. So if my interest has been piqued, please get in touch with us at our shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo ich bin Mika, zusammen mit einer anderen Katze und einem Zwergpudelchen, bin ich beschlagnahmt und ins Tierheim gebracht worden. Wir sind sogenannte Ebay-Opfer und bei einer Frau gelandet, die eigentlich ein Tierhalteverbot hat. Nun sitzen wir hier und suchen ein neues Zuhause, in dem es uns besser geht und wir nicht rumgereicht werden wie Pokale. Damit es nicht noch mehr Tieren so geht wie uns, muss dieser Handel über Ebay aufhören. Nun zu mir: Ich bin eine tolle Maus, aber manchmal auch ein bisschen zickig. Menschen finde ich am Anfang erst etwas komisch, aber wenn ich die Leute kennen gelernt habe dann lasse ich mich auch streicheln. Ältere Kinder wären in meinem neuen Zuhause kein Problem, sofern sie meine Grenzen akzeptieren und ich auch einen Rückzugsort habe, wenn es mir zu viel wird. Nach meiner Eingewöhnungszeit würde ich gerne ruhigen Freigang genießen und die Natur erkunden. Also falls ich euer Interesse geweckt habe, dann meldet euch doch bei uns im Tierheim. Eure Mika

About Mika

What life with Mika looks like

Mika is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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 Mika, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mika?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mika if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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 Mika 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 Mika 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 u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mika 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.
