MONI

Female · Young · 1 year

Our European Shorthair cats MONI and Milanese were born on 15.08.2024, are female, neutered, and came to us because their previous owners could no longer care for them due to psychological reasons. The two now seek a quiet and understanding home where they can be given the time they need. MONI and Milanese wish for a quiet home without children. Hectic and loud environments quickly unsettle the two, so they are looking for people who can meet them with patience, understanding, and empathy. Both cats are compatible with fellow animals and should move into their new home together. Only suitable apartment living is an option for them. They would be happy with a well-secured, cat-safe netted balcony, as this offers additional stimuli and observation opportunities. MONI and Milanese currently show themselves to be very shy and anxious. While they can be trusting and people-oriented with familiar trusted people, they often react panically and withdraw in unfamiliar situations. In the animal shelter, there is currently little direct contact with them, as they still fear people greatly. Therefore, we are looking for quiet, patient, and preferably cat-experienced people who do not have high expectations of quick progress. MONI and Milanese need time to build trust and feel safe in a new environment. -0Fax:

Unsere Europäisch-Kurzhaar-Katzen Moni und Milanese wurden am 15.08.2024 geboren, sind weiblich, kastriert und kamen zu uns, da ihre bisherigen Besitzer sie aus psychischen Gründen nicht länger versorgen konnten. Die beiden suchen nun gemeinsam ein ruhiges und verständnisvolles Zuhause, in dem man ihnen die Zeit gibt, die sie benötigen. Moni und Milanese wünschen sich ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder. Hektik und laute Umgebungen verunsichern die beiden schnell, weshalb sie Menschen suchen, die ihnen mit Geduld, Verständnis und Einfühlungsvermögen begegnen. Beide Katzen sind mit Artgenossen verträglich und sollen gemeinsam in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen. Für sie kommt ausschließlich Wohnungshaltung infrage. Über einen gut gesicherten, vernetzten Balkon würden sie sich freuen, da dieser zusätzliche Reize und Beobachtungsmöglichkeiten bietet. Moni und Milanese zeigen sich aktuell sehr schüchtern und ängstlich. Während sie bei vertrauten Bezugspersonen durchaus zutraulich und menschenbezogen sein können, reagieren sie in ungewohnten Situationen häufig panisch und ziehen sich zurück. Im Tierheim ist derzeit kaum ein direkter Kontakt mit ihnen möglich, da sie sich vor Menschen noch stark fürchten. Für die beiden suchen wir daher ruhige, geduldige und möglichst katzenerfahrene Menschen, die keine Erwartungen an schnelle Fortschritte haben. Moni und Milanese benötigen Zeit, um Vertrauen aufzubauen und sich in einer neuen Umgebung sicher zu fühlen. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-Mail

About MONI

What life with MONI looks like

MONI is a young adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

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 MONI, answered.

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