Adopt Minnie

Female · Adult · 10 years

Name: Minnie Born: around 2015 Gender: female Color: white and black Vaccination status: not yet vaccinated Spayed: yes Minnie is a special female cat with a moving story. About half a year ago, she was found neglected and sick. In her foster home, with a lot of patience, care, and love, she fought her way back to being a lively cat. Even though she has heart and lung problems, Minnie is now well-adjusted with medication and shows remarkable fitness in everyday life. When she plays and shows her energy, one could easily mistake her for a much younger cat – the vet, however, estimates her age at 10+ years. Minnie is playful, curious, and wants to be challenged both mentally and physically. She enjoys being close to her people without being intrusive – a pleasant, balanced companion. She particularly likes to sit by the open, fly-screen-secured window and observe the outside world. It would be even better for her to have a home with secure outdoor access so she can experience nature more intensely. It's important that she continues to receive her medication reliably. When it comes to food, Minnie has her own preferences: she loves fresh chicken or similar treats. This requires some patience and understanding of her tastes. How she reacts to dogs or children is unknown. She initially meets other cats with skepticism and greets their presence with growling – with appropriate sensitivity, this could still develop. Minnie is looking for a quiet, loving home with people who will give her time, respect her quirks, and open their hearts to her as she deserves. Whoever gives Minnie a home will gain a loyal, special companion with a lot of character.

Name: Minnie Geboren: ca. 2015 Geschlecht: weiblich Farbe: weiß-schwarz Impfstatus: noch nicht geimpft Kastriert: ja Minnie ist eine besondere Katzendame mit einer bewegenden Geschichte. Vor etwa einem halben Jahr wurde sie verwahrlost und krank aufgefunden. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle hat sie sich mit viel Geduld, Fürsorge und Liebe zu einer lebensfrohen Katze zurück ins Leben gekämpft. Auch wenn bei ihr Herz- und Lungenprobleme festgestellt wurden, ist Minnie heute medikamentös gut eingestellt und zeigt sich im Alltag erstaunlich fit. Wenn sie spielt und ihre Energie zeigt, könnte man sie glatt für eine deutlich jüngere Katze halten – vom Tierarzt wird sie jedoch auf 10+ Jahre geschätzt. Minnie ist verspielt, neugierig und möchte geistig wie körperlich gefordert werden. Sie genießt die Nähe zu ihren Menschen, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein – eine angenehme, ausgeglichene Begleiterin. Besonders gern sitzt sie aktuell am offenen, mit Fliegengitter gesicherten Fenster und beobachtet die Welt draußen. Noch schöner wäre für sie ein Zuhause mit gesichertem Freigang, damit sie die Natur intensiver erleben kann. Wichtig ist dabei, dass sie weiterhin zuverlässig ihre Medikamente bekommt. Beim Futter zeigt Minnie ihren ganz eigenen Kopf: Am liebsten mag sie frisches Hähnchen oder ähnliche Leckerbissen. Hier braucht es etwas Geduld und Verständnis für ihre Vorlieben. Wie sie auf Hunde oder Kinder reagiert, ist nicht bekannt. Anderen Katzen begegnet sie zunächst eher skeptisch und quittiert deren Anwesenheit mit Knurren – mit entsprechendem Feingefühl könnte sich dies jedoch noch entwickeln. Minnie sucht ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, ihre Eigenheiten respektieren und ihr Herz genauso öffnen, wie sie es verdient hat. Wer Minnie ein Zuhause schenkt, gewinnt eine treue, besondere Gefährtin mit viel Charakter.

About Minnie

What life with Minnie looks like

Minnie is a adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Tauberbischofsheim und Umgebung e.V. in Würzburg.

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 Minnie, answered.

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