How do I contact the shelter about Mimi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Starnberg 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 Starnberg 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 Starnberg 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.

Mimi

Mixed Breed · Female

Mimi is a gentle, sensitive and shy cat. The loud, busy animal shelter life causes stress for the little mouse. She prefers to retreat and try to be invisible. Behind her initial skepticism is an absolutely kind and gentle core. If you give her time, she slowly thaws and enjoys gentle petting from her caregivers. She is not a cat that pushes herself - she quietly asks for love. Mimi is not clean, she unfortunately does not use the litter box. Health-wise, Mimi has already been "turned upside down", no reason found why she does not use the litter box. Therefore, we think she may have had a negative experience (e.g. bladder infection with pain, when she used the toilet). What the dear mouse is looking for: A quiet home without children and without hustle and bustle. People with cat sense and patience, who do not pressure her initially. An environment that does not have a problem with the mishaps (ideal are rooms with wipeable floors for the first time). Fixed daily routines that give her security. Time to positively train the litter box. Mimi would like to trust and is looking for the "right" people. She was born in 2014. If you are interested, please contact us at . An employee will contact you as soon as possible to arrange a suitable appointment. Or write us an email at .

🐾 Leise Pfoten suchen großes Verständnis: Liebe schüchterne Mimi sehnt sich nach Ruhe und einem schönen Zuhause Mimi ist eine herzensgute, aber sehr sensible und schüchterne Kätzin. Das laute, unruhige Tierheimleben bereitet der kleinen Maus Stress. Sie zieht sich am liebsten zurück und versucht, unsichtbar zu sein. Hinter ihrer anfänglichen Skepsis steckt ein absolut lieber und sanfter Kern. Wenn man ihr Zeit gibt, taut sie langsam auf und genießt vorsichtige Streicheleinheiten von ihren Bezugspersonen sehr. Sie ist keine Katze, die sich aufdrängt – sie bittet leise um Liebe. Mimi ist unsauber, sie sucht die Katzentoilette leider nicht auf. Gesundheitlich wurde Mimi bereits „auf den Kopf“ gestellt, kein Grund gefunden, warum sie nicht auf die Katzentoilette geht. Daher denken wir, dass sie einmal eine negative Erfahrung gemacht hat (z.B. Blasenentzündung mit Schmerzen, als sie die Toilette aufgesucht hat). Das sucht die liebe Maus: Ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder und ohne Trubel. Menschen mit Katzenverstand und Geduld, die sie anfangs nicht bedrängen. Ein Umfeld, das kein Problem mit dem Malheurs hat (ideal sind Räume mit wischbaren Böden für die erste Zeit). Feste Tagesabläufe, die ihr Sicherheit schenken. Zeit um die Katzentoilette positiv anzutrainieren. Mimi möchte so gerne vertrauen und ist auf der Suche nach den „richtigen“ Menschen. Sie ist 2014 geboren. Bei Interesse melden Sie sich bitte unter . Ein Mitarbeiter wird sich schnellstmöglich bei Ihnen melden, um einen geeigneten Termin zu vereinbaren. Oder schreibt uns eine E-Mail an . Wenn Sie sich für dieses Tier interessieren, können Sie uns eine Nachricht über das Kontaktformular zukommen lassen oder uns unter der Telefonnummer kontaktieren.

About Mimi

What life with Mimi looks like

Mimi is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Starnberg in Starnberg.

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.
