Mimi

Female · Senior · 14 years

Lovely and affectionate - lap cat - calm animal - needs a quiet environment - litter trained Poor Mimi was found in bad condition, completely dehydrated with cat flu, emaciated, matted and dirty. Presumably, no one has taken care of her for a long time. We are trying to fatten her up so she can get healthy again and gain weight. To make eating pain-free again, she is getting a dental treatment and her flu is being treated. Mimi is a lovely and affectionate cat who has been neglected for far too long. She is happy about any attention and we hope she will recover and still have some worthwhile and pain-free time ahead of her. We would be very grateful for support in the form of a sponsorship to help us with the treatment costs. 10.09.2026 (jw)

DE·Show original

- lieb und schmusig - Schoßtier - ruhiges Tier - braucht eine ruhige Umgebung - stubenrein Die arme Mimi wurde in schlechtem Zustand gefunden, völlig dehydriert mit Katzenschnupfen, abgemagert, verfilzt und verschmutzt. Vermutlich hat sich lange niemand mehr um sie gekümmert. Wir versuchen sie aufzupäppeln, damit sie wieder gesund wird und auch wieder zunehmen kann. Damit sie wieder schmerzfrei essen kann, bekommt sie bei uns eine Zahnsanierung und auch ihr Schnupfen wird behandelt. Mimi ist eine liebe und verschmuste Katze, die viel zu lange vernachlässigt wurde. Sie freut sich über jede Aufmerksamkeit und wir hoffen, dass sie wieder auf die Beine kommt und noch ein bisschen lebenswerte und schmerzfreie Zeit vor sich hat. Über Unterstützung in Form einer Patenschaft würden wir uns sehr freuen, um uns bei den Behandlungskosten unter die Arme zu greifen. 10.09.2026 (jw)

About Mimi

What life with Mimi looks like

Mimi is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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. 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 Mimi, answered.

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