Sumi

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Sumi (black ink) is a really pretty little lady. Full of energy and with a touch of craziness. But always worth smiling about. She makes a lot of mischief, is always ready for a game and also likes to be stroked, but only when she's tired. Sumi unfortunately never learned cat language and therefore finds her fellow cats completely unnecessary. She would like to move out as a single cat, with the possibility of outdoor access. Then please send us an email with information and photos about the future care of the cat or leave a message on our answering machine. We are happy to arrange an appointment and show you our cats, as well as possible furnishing options. In a personal conversation, we will deal individually with you and the needs of the individual animal and look for the best possible human-cat constellation with you.

Sumi unsere „schwarze Tinte“ ist wirklich eine hübsche kleine Dame. Voller Energie und mit einem Schuss Verrücktheit. Aber immer zum drüber schmunzeln. Sie macht viel Quatsch, ist immer für ein Spiel bereit und mag es auch gestreichelt zu werden, allerdings erst, wenn sie müde ist. Sumi hat leider nie die Katzensprache gelernt und tat sich mit Artgenossen ziemlich schwer. Allerdings haben ihr die Kitten in ihrem Raum die Vorteile von Artgenossen mit ähnlichem Energielevel gezeigt und nun spielt sie ausgelassen mit ihnen. Gerne würde Sumi mit Tofu, Rosmiaurin oder Veggie gemeinsam ausziehen, wobei sie auch alleine zufrieden sein könnte. Allerdings braucht sie zwingend Freigang. Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen und Fotos über die zukünftige Haltung der Katze oder hinterlasse eine Nachricht auf unserem Anrufbeantworter. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Katzen, sowie mögliche Einrichtungsvarianten. Im persönlichen Gespräch gehen wir individuell auf dich und die Bedürfnisse des einzelnen Tieres ein und suchen die bestmögliche Mensch-Katzen-Konstellation mit dir aus.

About Sumi

What life with Sumi looks like

Sumi is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Sumi, answered.

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