Arik & Arvid

European Shorthair · Male

"Alright, here's how we're going to do this: You have to be there at 0500, otherwise our plan won't work. Why? Well, because that's what the plan is. What kind of question is that... I can't work like this. So, we're doing it like... oh... wait, shh, quiet! Don't say anything, let me talk! So, who are you then?! My name is Arik and the quiet tough guy next to me is called Arvid. We are also known as the A-Team... well, we call ourselves that because, you know, because of the A's. I'm not saying the name is original, but it fits. And it fits especially well with two lovingly snuggled up cats!

„Ok, also wir gehen wie folgt vor: Du musst um 0500 da sein, sonst geht unser Plan nicht auf. Wieso? Na weil der Plan so lautet. Was ist denn das für eine Frage… ich kann so nicht arbeiten. Also, wir machen das wie… oh… Sekunde, psst, Ruhe! Sag nichts, lass mich reden! Na, wer bist du denn?! Arik mein Name und der stille Halbstarke hier neben mir heißt Arvid. Wir werden auch das A-Team genannt… also wir nennen uns so, weil, naja, wegen der As. Ich sage nicht, dass der Name originell wäre, aber er passt eben. Und er passt vor allem zu zwei liebevoll verkuschelten Katzen! Wir sind reine Wohnungs

About Arik & Arvid

What life with Arik & Arvid looks like

Arik & Arvid is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Arik & Arvid, answered.

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