Adopt Mirella

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Mirella originally came to us as a found kitten. We are placing Mirella as a single cat into a home with a secure balcony. Her new guardians should have cat experience and plenty of time at home. There should be no dog or children in the household. The cuddly and playful cat is a epilepsy sufferer and requires medication twice daily, which helps her a lot. She takes it easily with her food.

Mirella kam ursprünglich als Fundkatze zu uns. Wir vermitteln Mirella als Einzelkatze in die reine Wohnunghaltung mit gesichertem Balkon. Ihre neuen Dosenöffner sollten Katzenerfahrung mitbringen und viel Zuhause sein. Im Haushalt sollten weder Hund noch Kind sein. Die verschmuste und verspielte Katze ist Epileptikerin und benötigt 2x täglich ein Medikament, was ihr gut hilft. Sie nimmt das ganz unkompliziert über das Futter auf.

About Mirella

What life with Mirella looks like

Mirella is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

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 Mirella, answered.

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