Mika

Female · Kitten

A shy and reserved cat, Mika, needs a quiet, child-free home. She will only be adopted with or to a similarly aged, same-sex cat. Mika is litter trained. At just half a year old, poor Mika wandered alone on St. Pauli until she was brought into our care. We are now looking for a loving home for the little mouse. Here we experience her as a reserved feline. Mika needs a lot of time to gain trust and has so far been difficult to touch. A quiet, child-free home without much commotion, where she can arrive in peace, is a must for Mika. She would also be thrilled with a cozy scratching post. To ensure Mika has same-sex company in her future home, we will only adopt her with or to a similarly aged female cat.

- zurückhaltend - braucht ein ruhiges, kinderloses Zuhause - wird nur zu oder mit einer etwa gleichalten, gleichgeschlechtlichen Katze vermittelt - stubenrein Mit gerade mal einem halben Jahr irrte die arme Mika mutterseelenallein auf St. Pauli umher, bis sie in unsere Obhut gebracht wurde. Nun suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause für die kleine Maus. Hier erleben wir sie als zurückhaltende Samtpfote. Mika braucht viel Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen, und lässt sich von uns bisher kaum anfassen. Ein ruhiges, kinderloses Zuhause ohne viel Trubel, in dem sie in Ruhe ankommen kann, ist ein Muss für Mika. Auch über einen gemütlichen Kratzbaum würde sie sich riesig freuen. Damit Mika artgleiche Gesellschaft in ihrem zukünftigen Zuhause hat, vermitteln wir sie nur zu oder mit einer etwa gleichalten, weiblichen Katze.

About Mika

What life with Mika looks like

Mika is a extra-large puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Hamburg 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 Hamburg 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 Hamburg 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.
