Ava & Atarie (Freigänger)

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Ava and Atarie were born on a foster home and only want to be rehomed together. The eight-month-old pair has just arrived at our animal shelter and, although they are still a bit shy overall, they are far too playful to hide with us for long. They have a lot of energy and need plenty of space in their new home to run around. Some cat experience is advantageous, as it should be noted that the two are initially quite shy and it can take several weeks for them to start cuddling willingly. Atarie, in particular, requires a bit of finesse, as he has already had some issues. They must be rehomed together, as the black Atarie and the spotted dainty Ava always made mischief together on the foster home and were always together. The two should also enjoy a freewalk after a longer (several weeks) settling-in period. If interested, please fill out the form: window.hsFormsOnReady = window.hsFormsOnReady || []; window.hsFormsOnReady.push(() => { formId: "8b45e69c-cec3-4d8b-a617-6eee8eb34ad9", target: "-form-1778704183000-6727681244". This cat needs outdoor access.

Ava und Atarie und sind auf einer Pflegestelle geboren und möchten nur zusammen vermittelt werden. Das acht Monate alte Pärchen findet sich gerade bei uns im Tierheim ein und ist zwar insgesamt noch etwas schüchtern, aber viel zu verspielt, als dass sie sich lange bei uns verstecken könnten. Sie haben viel Power und brauchen im neuen zu Hause viel Platz, um sich auszutoben. Etwas Katzenerfahrung ist von Vorteil, denn es ist zu beachten, dass die beiden zunächst etwas schüchtern sind und es einige Wochen dauern kann, bis sie von alleine gerne kuscheln möchten. Gerade bei Atarie benötigt man etwas Fingerspitzengefühl, da er schon mal unsauber ist. Sie müssen unbedingt zusammen vermittelt werden, da der schwarze Atarie und die getigerte zierliche Ava auch auf der Pflegestelle immer gemeinsam Blödsinn gemacht haben und auch zusammen waren. Die beiden sollten nach einer längeren (=viele Wochen) Eingewöhnungszeit auch Freigang genießen. Bei Interesse bitten wir um Ausfüllen des Formulars: window.hsFormsOnReady = window.hsFormsOnReady || []; window.hsFormsOnReady.push(()=>{ formId: "8b45e69c-cec3-4d8b-a617-6eee8eb34ad9", target: "-form-1781728169000-7617934301",

What life with Ava & Atarie (Freigänger) looks like

Ava & Atarie (Freigänger) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Helenenhof-Hürth/Tierschutzverein in Hürth.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ava & Atarie (Freigänger), answered.

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