How do I contact the shelter about Mini?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Northeim handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mini on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mini if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Northeim 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 Mini 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 Mini 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 Northeim early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mini and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Mini

British Shorthair · Male

Monti and Mini came to us as surrender cats because they didn't get along well with other cats. Since the two have grown up together and share a close bond, we would like to place them in a new home only together. Monti is a typical British Shorthair tomcat: affectionate, cuddly, and thoroughly enjoys being close to his people. Mini, on the other hand, is initially much more reserved and prefers to observe new situations from a safe distance. She needs time to build trust and decides for herself when she wants to initiate contact. Anyone who gives her this time and doesn't expect anything from her will gradually earn her trust. As both are British Shorthairs, we'd like to find them a home with people who are familiar with the breed's characteristic traits. Like many British Shorthairs, they may also be predisposed to certain health conditions, such as heart disease or joint problems. Regular veterinary check-ups and an appropriately tailored diet are therefore particularly important. Since both have difficulty getting along with other cats, Monti and Mini are looking for a quiet home together, one that doesn't already include other feline companions.

DE·Show original

Monti und Mini kamen als Abgabekatzen zu uns, da sie sich mit anderen Katzen nicht wirklich vertragen. Da die beiden gemeinsam aufgewachsen sind und eine enge Bindung zueinander haben, möchten wir sie nur gemeinsam in ein neues Zuhause vermitteln. Monti ist ein typischer Britisch-Kurzhaar-Kater: zutraulich, verschmust und genießt die Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Mini ist anfangs deutlich zurückhaltender und beobachtet neue Situationen lieber erst einmal aus sicherer Entfernung. Sie braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen, und entscheidet selbst, wann sie Kontakt aufnehmen möchte. Wer ihr diese Zeit gibt und nichts von ihr erwartet, wird ihr Vertrauen nach und nach gewinnen. Da es sich bei beiden um Britisch Kurzhaar handelt, wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die sich mit den rassetypischen Besonderheiten auseinandersetzen. Wie viele BKH können auch sie eine Veranlagung für bestimmte gesundheitliche Erkrankungen, wie beispielsweise Herzerkrankungen oder Gelenkprobleme, mitbringen. Regelmäßige tierärztliche Vorsorge und eine angepasste Ernährung sind daher besonders wichtig. Da sich beide mit anderen Katzen schwertun, suchen Monti und Mini gemeinsam ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne weitere Samtpfoten.

About Mini

What life with Mini looks like

Mini is a very small adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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.
