Miso

European Shorthair · Male

Miso is looking for a new home and would make a great second cat. He gets along very well with other cats and would appreciate a social feline companion by his side. Miso is currently a bit reserved around people, but with the right treats, he can be coaxed out of his shell - it seems love goes through his stomach for him. With a bit of patience and calm, he will surely gain more confidence over time. We would like to find Miso a home where he can enjoy outdoor time after settling in. This should be possible in a quiet or rural area. Anyone who gives a shy cat the time he needs and has some tasty treats on hand might be just right for Miso

DE·Show original

Miso ist auf der Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause und wäre ein toller Zweitkater. Er ist mit anderen Katzen sehr verträglich und würde sich über einen sozialen Katzenkumpel an seiner Seite freuen. Menschen gegenüber ist Miso aktuell noch eher zurückhaltend. Mit den richtigen Snacks lässt er sich aber durchaus aus der Reserve locken – Liebe geht bei ihm offenbar durch den Magen. Mit etwas Geduld und Ruhe wird er sicherlich nach und nach mehr Vertrauen fassen. Für Miso wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem er nach der Eingewöhnung Freigang genießen darf. Dieser sollte in einer verkehrsberuhigten oder ländlichen Umgebung möglich sein. Wer einem etwas schüchternen Kater die Zeit gibt, die er braucht, und dazu noch ein paar leckere Snacks bereithält, könnte bei Miso genau richtig sein

About Miso

What life with Miso looks like

Miso is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Burgdorf in Burgdorf.

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 Miso, answered.

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