Mikesch

Male · Senior · 15 years

Hello, I am Mikesch, please introduce me... My people didn't want me anymore, because they preferred to give a small kitten a new home. I, poor thing, expressed my discontent with being dirty. Unfortunately, this only resulted in me having to move out and not the little kitten, as I had hoped. The staff here at the animal shelter tried everything to let me stay and not the kitten. Unfortunately, my people were very unreasonable.... Now I am here and no longer understand the world. Everything is so terrible, even though the staff here are trying very hard to take care of me. I withdraw myself and would rather not hear or see anything. In the meantime, I am being bribed a bit with treats and at least stick my head out of my den. Actually, I am a very nice one and probably like it a lot when someone cuddles me. Since I have only lived in an apartment before, my new home can be a big house again. Come visit me soon and get to know me.

Hallo, ich bin der Mikesch, stellt Euch das bitte mal vor.... Meine Leute wollten mich nicht mehr, da sie lieber einem kleinen Kitten ein neues Zuhause geben wollten. Ich armer habe meinen Unmut mit Unsauberkeit kundgetan. Leider hat dies nur dazu geführt, dass ich ausziehen musste und nicht das kleine Kitten, wie ich mir erhofft hatte. Die Pfleger hier vom Tierheim haben alles versucht, dass ich bleiben dürfte und nicht das Kitten. Leider waren meine Leute da sehr uneinsichtig.... Nun bin ich also hier und verstehe die Welt nicht mehr. Es ist alles so schrecklich, auch wenn sich die Pfleger hier sehr um mich bemühen. Ich ziehe mich nur zurück und möchte am liebsten nichts hören und sehen. Inzwischen lasse ich mich mit Leckerlis etwas bestechen und strecke wenigstens den Kopf aus meiner Höhle. Eigentlich bin ich ein ganz lieber und mag es vermutlich sehr, wenn man mich kuschelt. Da ich bisher nur in der Wohnung gelebt habe, kann mein neues Zuhause gerne wieder in einem großen Haus sein. Kommt mich bald besuchen und lernt mich kennen. Bis bald Euer Mikesch

About Mikesch

What life with Mikesch looks like

Mikesch is a large senior cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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 u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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 u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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.
