Miri

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Ich bin Miri … ein kleiner Freigeist, der gerade noch lernt, wie toll Menschen sind.☺️ Das bin ich: Ich wurde gefunden und zeige mich im Tierheim bisher eher zurückhaltend und etwas schreckhaft. Ungewohnte Situationen verunsichern mich. Deshalb halte ich mich lieber erst einmal im Hintergrund und beobachte alles aus sicherer Entfernung. Ich brauche Menschen, die mich nicht bedrängen und mir genügend Zeit lassen, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit Ruhe und Geduld kann ich hoffentlich nach und nach mutiger werden. Ich wünsche mir … ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Freigang, in dem ich als Einzelprinzessin leben darf. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht zu meinem neuen Haushalt gehören. Meine künftigen Menschen sollten nicht erwarten, dass ich gleich am ersten Tag zutraulich bin. Wichtig ist, dass ich in meinem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf. Möchtest du mich kennenlernen? Dann melde dich gerne über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Garfield-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Miri

What life with Miri looks like

Miri is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Miri, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Miri?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Miri on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Miri if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Miri 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 Miri 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 Berlin early rather than rehoming privately; they know Miri 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.
