Omilie

Female · Senior · 12 years

Omilie doesn't feel very comfortable at the shelter. She was used to freedom and lived for many years on a farm whose owner is now in a nursing home. Omilie could no longer stay there, so she had no choice but to move into a small room at the shelter. Of course, this move has taken a toll on her, because she doesn't want to be touched by us yet. Trust has not been established yet and we accept that. The slightly older cat lady is looking for understanding people who can give her time and peace so she can arrive and regain trust.

DE·Show original

Omilie fühlt sich im Tierheim gar nicht wohl. Sie war die Freiheit gewohnt und lebte viele Jahre lang auf einem Hof, dessen Eigentümerin nun in ein Pflegeheim kam. Omilie konnte dort nicht mehr bleiben, sodass ihr nichts anderes übrig blieb, als ein Zimmerchen im Tierheim zu beziehen. Natürlich hat dieser Umzug sehr an ihr genagt, denn anfassen lassen, möchte sie sich noch nicht von uns. Das Vertrauen ist noch nicht da und das akzeptieren wir. Die etwas ältere Katzendame sucht verständnisvolle Menschen, die ihr Zeit und Ruhe geben, dass sie ankommen und wieder Vertrauen fassen kann.

About Omilie

What life with Omilie looks like

Omilie is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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 Omilie, answered.

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