Milo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Milo Milo is a special British Shorthair tomcat, born around mid-2023. He was presumably abandoned and found refuge at a feeding spot in Gelsenkirchen in summer 2025. Somewhat atypical for his breed, he needs a lot of movement and action. He loves to play extensively, likes to climb tall scratching posts, and climbs onto anything he can find. Milo is interested, curious, and likes being at the center of everything. He prefers to decide for himself when cuddle time is, and then he enjoys the attention of his humans very much. The little prince is very loving and affectionate. He needs plenty of space to romp and run. Secured windows are not enough to make Milo happy. He wishes for a large, well-netted balcony or a secured garden. The handsome fellow loves a direct view of greenery where there is plenty to watch. Milo does not get along with other animals of his kind and does not like smaller children. Dogs frighten him. In his new home, things can be quite lively; teenagers who come up with lots of ideas for him are great. Outdoor access is out of the question, as he confronts other cats combatively and aggressively. With people, it is the opposite: he is sweet, uncomplicated, and affectionate. The veterinary examination and blood work from 2025 showed good health. He tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia, is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Who will give this affectionate action hero a loving home forever?

DE·Show original

Milo Milo ist ein besonderer Britisch Kurzhaar-Kater, der ca. Mitte 2023 geboren wurde. Er wurde vermutlich ausgesetzt und fand im Sommer 2025 Zuflucht an einer Futterstelle in Gelsenkirchen. Für seine Rasse eher untypisch braucht er sehr viel Bewegung und Action, liebt es ausgiebig zu spielen, klettert gerne auf hohe Kratzbäume und auf alles was sich ihm bietet. Milo ist interessiert, neugierig und steht gerne im Mittelpunkt des Geschehens. Schmusezeiten bestimmt er am liebsten selbst und genießt die Zuwendung seiner Menschen dann sehr. Der kleine Prinz ist sehr liebevoll und verschmust. Er benötigt viel Platz zum Toben und Rennen. Gesicherte Fenster reichen Milo nicht aus, um glücklich zu sein. Er wünscht sich einen großen, gut eingenetzten Balkon oder einen gesicherten Garten. Der Hübsche liebt den direkten Blick ins Grüne wo es viel zu beobachten gibt. Milo ist unverträglich mit Artgenossen und mag auch keine kleineren Kinder. Hunde machen ihm Angst. Im neuen Zuhause kann gerne viel los sein; Jugendliche, die sich viel für ihn einfallen lassen, sind super. Freigang ist ausgeschlossen, da er anderen Katzen gegenüber kämpferisch und aggressiv entgegen tritt. Im Umgang mit Menschen, ist es gegenteilig: er ist lieb, unkompliziert und anhänglich. Die tierärztliche Untersuchung und das Blutbild aus 2025 ergab einen guten Gesundheitszustand. Er wurde negativ auf FIV und Leukose getestet, ist kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Wer schenkt dem verschmusten Actionhelden ein liebevolles Zuhause für immer?

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at KIS Ruhr – Katzen in Schwierigkeiten in Bochum.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Milo, answered.

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