Mila &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female

I am female, neutered, vaccinated, and born around 2017. I have been waiting since mid-2018 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Mila came from a Messiah household; she is the only one we could secure because the living area is vast, and the number of animals was completely unclear. Due to her background, she has few chances for rehoming, and she is still distant from being a cuddly cat. She no longer leaves the room when we perform our daily tasks, and an approach to a human truly only happens in small steps. Experienced owners are sought, or people who can give cats a home where they simply are. Maybe someone will find someone who can make things right again, who does not neuter cats, and where at the end, the animals must then wash away the damage that people do to them, then the cats that are born into such a situation. And who do not learn the correct contact with humans during the imprinting phase. The visitor unfortunately does not experience everyday situations, but it shows us that it could be possible for a patient cat lover to win your trust. One needs the appropriate patience, and experience with fearful animals is advantageous. For a second home, Mila is wonderfully suited. We hope that Mila also finds people despite or perhaps because of her false start into cat life with us. Who would like to show Mila that she can also live her life as a proud mini-tiger?

Ich bin weiblich, kastriert, geimpft und circa 2017 geboren. Ich warte seit Mitte 2018 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Mila stammt aus einem Messihaushalt, sie ist die einzige, die wir sichern konnten, da das Wohngebiet weitläufig ist und die Anzahl der Tiere völlig unklar war.Auf Grund Ihrer Vorgeschichte hat sie kaum Vermittlungschancen, von einer Kuschelkatze ist sie noch entfernt. Den Raum verlässt sie nicht mehr, wenn wir unsere täglichen Arbeiten verrichten, eine Annäherung zum Menschen erfolgt wirklich nur in kleinen Schritten. Erfahrene Halter sind gefragt oder Menschen, die Katzen ein Zuhause geben, wo sie einfach nur sein dürfen. Vielleicht findet sich jemand, der hier wieder gut macht, was Menschen anrichten, die Katzen nicht kastrieren und wo am Ende er Bestand explodiert, ausbaden müssen es dann die Tiere, die in diese Situation hineingeboren werden.Und den Kontakt zum Menschen in der Prägungsphase nicht richtig erlernen dürfen. Alltagssituationen erlebt der Besucher leider nicht, aber uns zeigt es, das es einem geduldigen Katzenliebhaber gelingen könnte, Ihr Vertrauen zu gewinnen. Man benötigt entsprechend Geduld, Erfahrung mit ängstlichen Tieren sind von Vorteil. Für ein Leben als Zweittier ist Mila wunderbar geeignet. Wir hoffen, auch Mila findet trotz oder vielleicht wegen ihrers Fehlstarts ins Katzenleben bei uns ihre Menschen. Wer möchte Mila zeigen, das auch sie als stolzer Minitiger durchs Leben streifen kann?

About Mila &#8211

What life with Mila &#8211 looks like

Mila &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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 Mila &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mila &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mila &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mila &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Mila &#8211 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 Mila &#8211 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 Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mila &#8211 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.
