Mikesch

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 6 years

Our handsome Mikesch was brought to us as a found cat. Unfortunately, no one has reported him missing - so it's now time for this lovable fellow to find a new home. Mikesch is about 6 years old, neutered and has been vaccinated and chipped by us. And character-wise? An absolute treasure! Mikesch is open, friendly and totally cuddly. He enjoys the proximity to people and loves to be pampered with long cuddles. For Mikesch, we would ideally like a home where he can have secure outdoor access so he can discover and enjoy the fresh air. Unfortunately, we cannot currently assess how Mikesch reacts to other cats or animals. Please contact us by email.

Schmusekater Mikesch sucht seinen Kuschelplatz fürs Leben Unser hübscher Mikesch wurde als Fundkater zu uns gebracht. Leider hat sich bisher niemand gemeldet, der ihn vermisst – deshalb ist es nun an der Zeit, dass dieser liebe Kerl ein neues Zuhause findet. Mikesch ist etwa 6 Jahre alt, kastriert und wurde von uns geimpft und gechipt. Und charakterlich? Ein absoluter Schatz! Mikesch ist offen, freundlich und total verkuschelt. Er genießt die Nähe zu Menschen und lässt sich sehr gerne mit ausgiebigen Streicheleinheiten verwöhnen. Für Mikesch wünschen wir uns bestenfalls ein Zuhause, in dem ihm gesicherter Freigang ermöglicht werden kann, damit er auch draußen etwas entdecken und die frische Luft genießen kann. Wie Mikesch auf andere Katzen oder andere Tiere reagiert, können wir derzeit leider nicht einschätzen. Meldet euch bei uns per Mail an

About Mikesch

What life with Mikesch looks like

Mikesch is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheimverein Erfurt 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. 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. Tierheimverein Erfurt 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 — Tierheimverein Erfurt 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 Tierheimverein Erfurt 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.
