Mike (genannt

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Mike (nicknamed Terror-Mike), approximately 3-5 years old, has been with us since January 21, 2026. The stately red-and-white tomcat was found in Gößnitz, where he had been wandering for some time. Unfortunately, his owners could not be located. Mike is (still) quite shy, but he seems to like humans as food providers. His appearance suggests that he has had some experiences and has probably fought with other cats. Accordingly, he shows himself to be a bit rough around the edges when we are around.

Besitzer konnten leider nicht ausfindig gemacht werden. Mike ist (noch) recht scheu, aber Menschen als Dosenöffner sind ihm dann doch irgendwie sympathisch. Sein äußeres Erscheinungsbild verrät, dass er bereits einiges erlebt hat und wohl den ein oder anderen Katerkampf ausgefochten hat. Entsprechend zeigt er sich bei uns im Tier

About Mike (genannt

What life with Mike (genannt looks like

Mike (genannt is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Schmölln in Germany.

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 Mike (genannt, answered.

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