Minni

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Minni, affectionately called Minnie by the shelter staff, has had a tough life so far. At just four months old, she was already with us last year. It turned out she had allergies to many things, but luckily a kind adopter took her in with her previous cat. However, the happiness didn't last long. The allergy worsened, and there was also stress between the two cats, so Minnie had to return to us almost completely bald. Now, the young kitten is on a low dose of cortisone and will likely need it for the rest of her life to prevent severe itching. She is currently on a very low dose, but further dose reduction or discontinuation is not possible, as she would immediately start scratching. However, with the cortisone, she is doing great. She has grown into a beautiful silver/gray-white cat with bright green eyes. All her wounds have healed, and it's clear that something noble must have run through her bloodline at some point. She has become affectionate and super cuddly and now finally wants to leave the shelter. She would prefer to be an indoor cat with outdoor access. The new home should not be too hectic, and her half cortisone tablet must be given reliably every day. Fortunately, the medication is very affordable. She also gets hypoallergenic food, which is not more expensive than other high-quality food. The little cuddly mouse wants people who look past her allergy and just appreciate her great character.

Bei uns seit: 1.6.2026 Merkmale: Benötigt Cortisontabletten und Hypoallergenes Futter. Gerne Einzelhaltung, gerne mit Freilauf. Charakter: Anhänglich, schmusig, zutraulich Die kleine Gracie, die im Tierheim liebevoll Minni genannt wird, hatte es bisher nicht leicht in ihrem Leben. Als vier Monate altes Kätzchen saß sie bereits im letzten Jahr bei uns. Schon dort stellte sich heraus daß sie auf vieles allergisch reagierte, dennoch hatte sie Glück und eine nette Adoptanten nahm sie sehr zeitnah zu ihrer vorherigen Katze dazu. Doch das Glück währte nicht lang. Die Allergie verschlimmerte sich, zudem kam Stress unter den beiden Katzen dazu, so dass Minni fast komplett kahl wieder zu uns zurück musste. Nun ist das noch junge Kätzchen auf Cortison eingestellt und wird dieses vermutlich ihr Leben lang benötigen, damit sie nie wieder so einen schlimmen Juckreiz erleiden muss. Sie ist derzeitig auf einer sehr geringen Dosis eingestellt, weiteres runter dosieren oder absetzen ist leider nicht möglich, da sie dann sofort mit kratzen reagiert. Doch mit dem Cortison geht es ihr super. Mittlerweile ist sie ein bildschönes silber/grau – weißes Katzenmädchen mit leuchtend grünen Augen. Alle Wunden sind verheilt und man sieht ihr klar an, dass irgendwann einmal etwas edles durch ihren Stammbaum gelaufen sein muss. Zudem ist sie anhänglich und super verschmust geworden und möchte nun endlich das Tierheim verlassen. Gerne als Einzelkatze mit Freilauf nach draussen. Es sollte nicht zu trubelig zugehen im neuen Zuhause und ihre halbe Cortisontablette muss zuverlässig täglich gegeben werden. Zum Glück ist das Medikament sehr günstig. Zudem bekommt sie noch ein Hypoallergenes Futter. Auch dies ist nicht teurer als anderes hochwertiges Futter. Die kleine Kuschelmaus wünscht sich Menschen, die über ihre Allergie hinweg sehen und einfach nur ihren tollen Charakter schätzen.

About Minni

What life with Minni looks like

Minni is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. in Eutin.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Minni, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Minni?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Minni on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Minni if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Minni 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 Minni 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 Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Minni 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.
