Mika

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

This young tomcat has a rather shy, sensitive character and needs some time to build trust. Once he has settled in, however, his great love of food and fixed routines quickly becomes apparent – mealtimes in particular are a real highlight for him. He greatly appreciates quiet surroundings and a retreat of his own. Loud households and contact with aggressive cats or dogs overwhelm him, which is why he is looking for a relaxed home. He gets along well with friendly, calm animals. Older children are also possible, provided they treat him considerately and under supervision. As a purely indoor cat, he needs a safe environment: windows and doors should always be closed or secured, and a balcony must absolutely be secured (with netting). His story is just as moving as it is remarkable: in the middle of the night, he suddenly appeared under the house of our animal welfare volunteer Zoey and cried out desperately for help for hours. Eventually he could be secured and brought to safety – a moment that changed his life forever. possible at cost price of 180 euros (including transport box) Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

Dieser junge Kater hat einen eher schüchternen, sensiblen Charakter und braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat er sich jedoch eingelebt, zeigt sich schnell seine große Liebe zu Futter und festen Routinen – besonders die Mahlzeiten sind für ihn ein echtes Highlight. Er schätzt ruhige Umgebungen und einen eigenen Rückzugsort sehr. Laute Haushalte sowie der Kontakt zu aggressiven Katzen oder Hunden überfordern ihn, weshalb er ein entspanntes Zuhause sucht. Mit freundlichen, ruhigen Tieren kommt er gut zurecht. Auch ältere Kinder sind möglich, sofern sie rücksichtsvoll und unter Aufsicht mit ihm umgehen. Als reine Wohnungskatze benötigt er eine sichere Umgebung: Fenster und Türen sollten stets geschlossen oder gesichert sein, und ein Balkon muss unbedingt gesichert (vernetzt) sein. Seine Geschichte ist ebenso bewegend wie besonders: Mitten in der Nacht tauchte er plötzlich unter dem Haus unserer Tierschützerin Zoey auf und miaute stundenlang verzweifelt um Hilfe. Schließlich konnte er gesichert und in Sicherheit gebracht werden – ein Moment, der sein Leben für immer veränderte. möglich zum Selbstkostenpreis 180 Euro (inklusive Transportbox) Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

About Mika

What life with Mika looks like

Mika is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. in Hamburg.

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 Mika, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mika?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. 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 — Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland 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 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 Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. 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.
