Missy ♀

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Missy (born approx. 2022) knows the harsh life outside all too well. She wandered for at least 2 years until the Göttingen Cat Protection Society secured her and her children in June. In the foster home, the relatively small cat showed herself to be a selfless and loving as well as very social mom. Now she deserves her own life. For this, she is looking for patient people who give her the time and peace she needs to settle in. She is still reserved to the point of being shy, but behaves very quietly in the house. Understandably, it is difficult for her to let go of her fear after all the bad times and experiences. With loving people and a life in safety and security, she will hopefully soon be able to shed her uncertainty. A people-oriented and rather quiet cat by her side would certainly help her build trust and become bolder. Are you interested in this housecat? Then read our information on

Missy (geboren ca. 2022) kennt das harte Leben draußen nur zu gut. Mindestens 2 Jahre lief sie in einem Ort umher bis der Göttinger Katzenschutz sie im Juni mit ihren Kindern sicherte. In der Pflegestelle zeigte sich die relativ kleine Katze als aufopferungsvolle und liebe sowie sehr soziale Mama. Nun hat sie ihr eigenes Leben verdient. Dafür sucht sie geduldige Menschen, die ihr die Zeit und Ruhe geben, die sie braucht, um anzukommen. Noch ist sie zurückhaltend bis scheu, verhält sich im Haus aber sehr ruhig. Ihr fällt es verständlicherweise nach all den schlimmen Zeiten und Erfahrungen schwer, ihre Angst abzulegen. Bei lieben Menschen und einem Leben in Sicherheit und Geborgenheit wird sie ihre Verunsicherung hoffentlich bald ablegen können. Eine menschenbezogene und eher ruhige Katze an ihrer Seite würde ihr sicherlich helfen, Vertrauen aufzubauen und mutiger zu werden. Du interessierst dich für diesen Stubentiger?

About Missy ♀

What life with Missy ♀ looks like

Missy ♀ is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Göttinger Katzenschutz e.V. in Göttingen.

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 Missy ♀, answered.

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