How do I contact the shelter about Mio?

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

Can I adopt Mio if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzbund Köln 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 Mio 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 Mio 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 Katzenschutzbund Köln early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mio 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.

Mio

Mixed Breed · Female

Mio is 1 year old. Gender: male/neutered compatibility with others: suitable for a second cat housing: apartment with balcony/secured garden, possibly free roam Health: microchipped, vaccinated (cold/fever), tested negative (FIV/FeLV)Euro Mio came to us in the spring as part of a castration program on a farm. Although he was likely born there, we saw more in him than just a farm tomcat. And we were right. Now, after nearly 3 months, he lets himself be stroked, is playful, and also likes to snuggle in bed. Mio is a very social tomcat who easily integrates into an existing cat group. In his new home, there should already be at least one social feline waiting for him. As an "ex-wildcat," he meets strangers with caution at first. With treats and play, a person can quickly gain his trust. Mio needs ample space to run around and a spot where he can bask in the sun. A well-secured balcony or secured garden would be ideal. A free roam would only be possible in a very secure neighborhood. This cat needs outdoor access.

Mio Alter: ca. 1 Jahr. Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Verträglichkeit: Zweittier Haltung: Wohnung mit Balkon/gesichertem Garten , evtl. Freigang Gesundheit: gechippt, geimpft (Schnupfen/Seuche), negativ getestet (FIV/FeLV)Schutzgebühr: 230 Euro Mio kam im Frühjahr im Rahmen einer Kastrationsaktion auf einem Bauernhof zu uns. Obwohl er dort wahrscheinlich auch geboren wurde, sahen wir in ihm mehr, als nur einen Bauernhof-Kater. Und wir haben Recht behalten. Jetzt, nach knapp 3 Monaten lässt er sich streicheln, ist verspielt und kuschelt auch gerne mit im Bett. Mio ist ein sehr sozialer Kater, der sich problemlos in eine bestehende Katzengruppe eingeliedert. In seinem neuen Zuhause sollte deshalb auch schon mindestens eine soziale Samtpfote auf ihn warten.Als „ehemaliger Wildling“ begegnet er fremden Menschen anfangs mit Vorsicht. Mit Leckerchen und Spielen findet Mensch aber schnell einen Zugang zu ihm.Mio braucht ausreichend Platz zum Toben und einen Ort, wo er sich in der Sonne räkeln kann. Ein gut gesicherter Balkon oder gesicherter Garten wäre Prima. Freigang käme nur in einer sehr sicheren Wohngegend in Frage.Die Vermittlungsbetreuung erfolgt durch Frau Portz Ich interessiere mich für diese Katze Weitere Katzen entdecken

About Mio

What life with Mio looks like

Mio is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund Köln in Köln.

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.
