Adopt Ariadna und Big

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

Description Our animal welfare workers report: Ariadna (female) and Big (male), along with another sibling, were hiding near a colony, living in large pipes on an abandoned construction site. Sometimes they could scavenge some food, trash, or scraps, fleeing to the construction site, their desolate sanctuary. Ariadna und Big only knew dangers, cold, illness, and hunger – the only beautiful thing they had was each other, a weak but important comfort. Then it rained heavily and the wind blew strongly, there was so much rainwater that the three inexperienced kittens were probably on the verge of drowning. An animal rescuer picked them up at the edge of the floodwaters, but the third sibling was so weak and sick that it died. Ariadna und Big were also sick, full of parasites, and suffered from diarrhea for months. But thanks to the good care of their foster mother, nutritious food, and effective medicine, they not only survived but also recovered and became lively again. Ariadna und Big are still a little shy but are already very eager to be stroked and encouraged to play. The foster home had to take in the kittens out of necessity, but due to her work, she can no longer take care of them for much longer, so the siblings are now desperately looking for a caring home with hands that are eager to stroke and a large, soft sofa.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: unzertrennlich, Ariadna (weiblich) und Big (männlich) und ein weiteres Geschwisterchen hielten sich in der Nähe einer Kolonie versteckt auf, sie lebten in großen Rohren auf einer verlassenen Baustelle. Manchmal konnten sie etwas Futter abgreifen, Müll oder Reste und flüchteten damit auf die Baustelle, ihrem trostlosen Zufluchtsort. Ariadna und Big kannten nur Gefahren, Kälte, Krankheit und Hunger – das einzige schöne was sie hatten, waren sie Beide, sich gemeinsam, ein schwacher und doch wichtiger Trost. Dann regnete es lange und stürmte stark, es gab so viel Regenwasser, dass die drei vermutlich unerfahrenen Kätzchen fast ertrunken wären. Eine Tierschützerin sammelte sie am Rande der Fluten auf, das dritte Geschwisterchen war aber so schwach und krank, dass es starb. Auch Ariadna und Big waren krank, voller Parasiten und litten monatelang Durchfall. Doch dank der guten Pflege ihres Pflegefrauchens, nahrhaftem Futter und wirkungsvoller Medizin, überlebten sie nicht nur, sondern wurden wieder gesund und putzmunter. Ariadna und Big sind noch ein wenig schüchtern, lassen sich aber schon ganz gerne streicheln und zum Spielen animieren. Die Pflegestelle hat die Kätzchen notgedrungen aufgenommen, kann sich aufgrund ihrer Berufstätigkeit aber nicht viel länger um sie kümmern, weswegen die Geschwister jetzt ganz dringend gemeinsam ein fürsorglich Zuhause mit fleißig streichelnden Händen und einem großen, weichen Sofa suchen.

About Ariadna und Big

What life with Ariadna und Big looks like

Ariadna und Big is a large adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

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 Ariadna und Big, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ariadna und Big?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ariadna und Big on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ariadna und Big if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierischgeholfen 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ariadna und Big 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 Ariadna und Big 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 Tierischgeholfen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ariadna und Big 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.
