Adopt Mikesch

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Mikesch was in the Patenschaftsprojekt. Overall, he was with us for 9 years. He had found a home time and time again, but always came back because the good boy wasn't the easiest. Actually, we didn't want to place him anymore. But now there is this one person……… this one woman……… who always gives homes to the most difficult cats. And so, we're giving Mikesch one more try. We're happy for the loner……… and wish him that this time it will work out. The signs are good! Good luck, Mikesch…… after 9 years, you were like a part of us. We will miss you but will never forget you.

Mikesch , war im Patenschaftsprojekt. Insgesamt war er 9 Jahre bei uns. Immer wieder hatte er ein Zuhause gefunden und immer wieder kam er zurück, weil der Gute nicht der Einfachste ist. Eigentlich wollten wir ihn gar nicht mehr platzieren. Nun gibt es aber diesen einen Menschen………… diese eine Frau………. die immer wieder ganz schwierigen Katzen ein Zuhause schenkt. Und so versucht es Mikesch noch einmal. Wir freuen uns für den Eigenbrötler……….. und wünschen ihm, dass es dieses Mal klappt. Die Zeichen stehen gut! Machs gut Mikesch…… nach 9 Jahren warst Du wie ein Teil von uns. Wir werden Dich vermissen aber niemals vergessen.

About Mikesch

What life with Mikesch looks like

Mikesch is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stiftung Paradiesli, Tierheim für Ob und Nidwalden.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mikesch, answered.

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