Miky

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Maine Coon – Persian – Mix * 07.08.2014 – black – male – neutered Indoor living with a secured balcony Compatibility with other cats still unknown, as he has been an only cat until now Other: — At the shelter since: 10/2026 Miky was given up at the shelter, very reluctantly, at the age of 12, because his owner could no longer care for him after a stroke. Miky had spent his whole life from a young age in this home and naturally no longer understands the world. Miky currently shows himself to be a sweet tomcat, but the new situation has left him quite frightened and unsettled. We can say more once he has had a bit of time to settle in. He has already been to the vet, where a few matted patches were trimmed from his thick coat and his blood was tested. It was found that his kidney values are slightly elevated, which is not unusual at his age. For Miky, it would be wonderful if his stay at the shelter could be as short as possible and he could very quickly find a calm and cozy new home where he can enjoy the rest of his senior years with lots of love and plenty of cuddles. Since he has always been a purely indoor cat, he should continue to live in an apartment with a secured balcony, even now in his old age. It is important that he would not have to be alone all day, but rather that he comes to people who are home a lot. More photos and videos: You can find more cats in the Cats section.

Maine Coon – Perser – Mix * 07.08.2014 – schwarz – männlich – kastriert Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon Verträglichkeit mit Artgenossen noch unbekannt, war bisher Einzelkatze Sonstiges: — im Tierheim seit: 10/2026 Miky wurde sehr schweren Herzens im Alter von 12 Jahren im Tierheim abgegeben, da seine Besitzerin ihn aufgrund eines Schlaganfalls nicht mehr versorgen konnte. Miky hatte von klein auf sein ganzes Leben in diesem Zuhause verbracht und versteht nun natürlich die Welt nicht mehr. Miky zeigt sich aktuell als lieber Kater, ist aber durch die neue Situation noch ziemlich verängstigt und durch den Wind. Näheres können wir erst sagen, wenn er sich mal ein bisschen eingelebt hat. Einen Tierarztbesuch hat bereits hinter sich und dort wurden ein paar verfilzte Stellen aus seinem dicken Pelz geschoren und sein Blut wurde untersucht. Dabei wurde festgestellt, dass seine Nierenwerte leicht erhöht sind, was in diesem Alter aber nicht ungewöhnlich ist. Für Miky wäre es schön, wenn sein Aufenthalt im Tierheim sich so kurz wie möglich gestalten würde und er ganz schnell ein ruhiges und gemütliches neues Zuhause finden dürfte, in dem er sein restliches Seniorenleben mit viel Liebe und vielen Streicheleinheiten genießen dürfte. Da er bisher immer eine reine Wohnungskatze war, soll er auch jetzt im Alter weiter in einer Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon leben dürfen. Wichtig wäre es, dass er dort dann nicht den ganzen Tag alleine sein müsste, sondern dass er zu Menschen kommt, die viel daheim sind.

About Miky

What life with Miky looks like

Miky is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Göppingen in Göppingen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Miky, answered.

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