Adopt Momo

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 11 years

Momo is a special shelter blanket in advanced age, seeking a quiet and understanding home. He is blind and nearly deaf, but manages well in a familiar environment and clearly shows when something is not right. For this reason, he enjoys the beautiful things in life – especially a warm spot in the sun. Due to his incontinence, he needs people with patience and heart who would like to enable him a loving retirement.

Read original (de)

Momo ist ein besonderes Notfellchen im hohen Alter, das ein ruhiges und verständnisvolles Zuhause sucht. Er ist blind und fast taub, kommt aber in vertrauter Umgebung gut zurecht und zeigt deutlich, wenn ihm etwas nicht passt. Umso mehr genießt er die schönen Dinge des Lebens – vor allem ein warmes Plätzchen in der Sonne. Aufgrund seiner Inkontinenz braucht er Menschen mit Geduld und Herz, die ihm einen liebevollen Lebensabend ermöglichen möchten.

About Momo

What life with Momo looks like

Momo is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Cottbus in Cottbus.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Momo, answered.

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