Milly

Female · Senior · 17 years

Milly is very adventurous and playful! Her age doesn't show. Her greatest passion is valerian pillows which she loves to cuddle with extensively. Milly enjoys spending time outdoors in the sun. She suffers from urinary stones and receives daily supplements to prevent stone formation. Due to elevated kidney values, she gets special food. We seek a quiet new home for Milly with experienced owners who have time. Milly no longer needs outdoor access, a secured balcony is sufficient. She is not compatible with other cats, but can be placed with families with children aged ten and older. Due to age, Milly's heart doesn't work perfectly and she receives daily heart medication. Spondylosis has also developed and Milly gets monthly pain injections from the vet.

Milly sucht eine verständnisvolle Pflegestelle im Raum Hannover. Sie wartet schon lange im Tierheim und wünscht sich ein ruhiges Körbchen in der Sonne und Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld und Fürsorge begegnen. Milly benötigt etwas mehr Unterstützung als andere Katzen: Für ihre Nieren, die Blase und das Herz bekommt sie Spezialfutter, eine Paste und täglich eine Tablette. Wegen ihrer Arthrose erhält sie einmal im Monat Solensia, was ihr sichtbar hilft. Außerdem ist Milly taub und derzeit nicht zuverlässig stubenrein. Wir suchen deshalb Menschen mit Erfahrung, Geduld und einem großen Herzen, die Milly trotz dieser Herausforderungen eine liebevolle Pflegestelle anbieten möchten. Da Millys tierärztliche Betreuung weiterhin über das Tierheim läuft, sollte die Pflegestelle im Raum Hannover liegen. Wenn Sie Milly nicht selbst aufnehmen können, teilen Sie ihren Steckbrief gern weiter.

About Milly

What life with Milly looks like

Milly is a large senior cat waiting at Tierheim Hannover in Hannover.

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.

Note from the shelter: Multiple chronic conditions: kidney insufficiency requiring special diet and supplements, heart insufficiency requiring daily medication, spondylosis requiring monthly pain injections, history of urinary stones requiring daily supplements. Needs experienced owners and quiet home.

🇩🇪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 Milly, answered.

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