Mikesch

Male · Adult · 10 years

Mikesch came to us after his owner passed away. The dear tomcat is suitable for apartment living as well as occasional outdoor walks. As Mikesch is now a bit older and a very calm, shy creature, we believe that a flat with a secure balcony or a nice outdoor enclosure would be perfect for him. Mikesch is an extremely people-oriented tomcat who greatly enjoys the closeness and attention of his humans. He loves to snuggle and just be around. Of course, Mikesch is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. We wish for him a home where he doesn't have to be alone much and where there's plenty of time for snuggling, pampering, and being cuddled.

DE·Show original

Mikesch kam zu uns, nachdem sein Besitzer verstorben ist. Der liebe Kater kennt sowohl die Wohnungshaltung als auch gelegentlichen Freigang. Da Mikesch inzwischen schon etwas älter ist und ein sehr ruhiges, verschmustes Wesen hat, glauben wir, dass für ihn eine Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon oder ein schönes Freigehege vollkommen ausreichen würde. Mikesch ist ein ausgesprochen menschenbezogener Kater, der die Nähe und Aufmerksamkeit seiner Menschen sehr genießt. Er liebt es, zu kuscheln und einfach dabei zu sein. Selbstverständlich ist Mikesch kastriert, geimpft und gechippt. Für ihn wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem er nicht viel alleine sein muss und wo man ganz viel Zeit zum Schmusen, Verwöhnen und „Betüddeln“ hat.

About Mikesch

What life with Mikesch looks like

Mikesch is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Plattling in Plattling.

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 Mikesch, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mikesch?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Plattling 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 — Tierheim Plattling 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 Tierheim Plattling 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.
