Susi

05.10.25 Susi & Strolch – Two Siblings, Two Fates, One Heart's Wish 💕 Originally, it was our dream that Susi and Strolch could stay together – brother and sister, going through life together. But after a whole year in the animal shelter, it has become clear: a shared home will likely remain a dream. Therefore, we are now searching separately, but with the same heart's wish, for both a loving home. 🏡 🌸 Susi – a little fighter with a big heart Susi experienced something terrible as a kitten. A spinal cord injury left her paralyzed in her hind legs – she couldn't walk. But this little fighter has fought her way back to life step by step! 💪 Thanks to physiotherapy and medication, she can now walk on all fours. Jumping is difficult for her, but she climbs skillfully and has learned to cope with her disability. However, Susi cannot urinate independently. Her future people must massage her bladder several times a day (4–5 times) so that she feels comfortable and no infection develops. Full-time working people therefore cannot be considered – but perhaps someone with a heart, experience, or time who would like to give a special cat a home. 💗 Susi has so much life will, love, and trust – she should not have to spend her life in the animal shelter. Maybe there is a place in a disability group where she can be happy with like-minded companions?

05.10.25 Susi & Strolch – Zwei Geschwister, zwei Schicksale, ein Herzenswunsch 💕 Eigentlich war es unser aller Traum, dass Susi und Strolch zusammenbleiben dürfen – Bruder und Schwester, die gemeinsam durchs Leben gehen. Doch nach einem ganzen Jahr im Tierheim hat sich gezeigt: Ein gemeinsames Zuhause wird wohl ein Wunschtraum bleiben. Deshalb suchen wir jetzt getrennt, aber mit demselben Herzenswunsch, für beide ein liebevolles Zuhause. 🏡 🌸 Susi – kleine Kämpferin mit großem Herzen Susi hat als Katzenkind Schlimmes erlebt. Ein Wirbelsäulentrauma machte sie zunächst gelähmt an den Hinterbeinen – sie konnte nicht mehr laufen. Doch diese kleine Kämpferin hat sich Schritt für Schritt ins Leben zurückgekämpft! 💪 Dank Physiotherapie und Medikamenten kann sie heute wieder auf allen Vieren laufen. Springen fällt ihr schwer, aber sie klettert geschickt und hat gelernt, mit ihrem Handicap umzugehen. Allerdings kann Susi keinen Urin selbstständig absetzen. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen müssen ihr mehrmals täglich (4–5x) die Blase ausmassieren, damit sie sich wohlfühlt und keine Entzündung entsteht. Vollzeitberufstätige kommen daher leider nicht infrage – aber vielleicht jemand mit Herz, Erfahrung oder Zeit, der einer besonderen Katze ein Zuhause schenken möchte. 💗 Susi hat so viel Lebenswillen, Liebe und Vertrauen – sie soll nicht ihr Leben im Tierheim verbringen müssen. Vielleicht gibt es einen Platz in einer Handicap-Gruppe, wo sie unter Gleichgesinnten glücklich werden darf? Wir helfen selbstverständlich bei der

About Susi

What life with Susi looks like

Susi is a large young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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 Susi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Susi?
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 Susi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Susi 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 Susi 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 Susi 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 Susi 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.
