Mimimi

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Mimimi, along with her relatives, came to us from poor living conditions. They all made it difficult for us at first and still tend to be shy when they don't know someone. They are all familiar with living with dogs. Once you've won them over, they don't live up to their name anymore ;-) Mimimi is the most cautious of them all. She usually stays in the background and observes what the others are doing. But once she decides the situation is safe, she's happy to be in the front and play and have fun with the person. She is the most social of the group and could also move in with group-foreign cats, or with her (assumed) mother "Stressarella". But she has also befriended the little "Soja" (still too shy for photos) and could be great with her. She is only familiar with indoor living so far and is completely happy with it. Of course, she wouldn't say "no" to outdoor access either ;-) Then please send us an email with information and photos about the future living situation of the cat or leave a message on our answering machine. We would be happy to arrange an appointment and show you our cats, as well as possible furnishing options. In a personal conversation, we will discuss you and the needs of the individual animal and find the best possible human-cat constellation with you.

Mimimi ist, gemeinsam mit ihrer Verwandtschaft, aus schlechter Haltung zu uns gekommen. Sie alle haben es uns zu Anfang nicht leichtgemacht und sie neigen immer noch zum fremdeln, wenn sie jemanden nicht kennen. Sie kennen alle auch das Zusammenleben mit Hunden. Hat man sie aber erstmal von sich überzeugt, machen sie ihrem Namen keine Ehre mehr ;-) Mimimi ist die vorsichtigste von allen. Sie hält sich meist eher im Hintergrund und beobachtet, was die anderen so tun. Beschließt sie aber, dass die Situation sicher ist, ist auch sie gerne mit vorn dabei und für Spiel und Spaß mit dem Menschen zu haben. Sie ist die sozialste der Gruppe und könnte auch zu Gruppenfremden Katzen ausziehen, oder mit ihrer (vermuteten) Mutter „Stressarella“ zusammen. Aber auch mit der kleinen „Soja“ (noch zu schüchtern für Fotos) hat sie sich angefreundet und könnte toll mit ihr zusammen ausziehen. Sie kennt bisher nur die reine Wohnungshaltung und ist damit auch völlig zufrieden. Natürlich würde sie bei Freigang aber auch nicht „nein“ sagen ;-) Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen und Fotos über die zukünftige Haltung der Katze oder hinterlasse eine Nachricht auf unserem Anrufbeantworter. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Katzen, sowie mögliche Einrichtungsvarianten. Im persönlichen Gespräch gehen wir individuell auf dich und die Bedürfnisse des einzelnen Tieres ein und suchen die bestmögliche Mensch-Katzen-Konstellation mit dir aus.

About Mimimi

What life with Mimimi looks like

Mimimi is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

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 Mimimi, answered.

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