How do I contact the shelter about Balu und Leo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Balu und Leo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Balu und Leo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhilfe Ulm 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 Balu und Leo 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 Balu und Leo 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 Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Balu und Leo 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.

Balu und Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Lilly, the only female kitten of the litter, is beautiful and shy. She knows it too and sometimes lets her diva side show through. When being petted, she growls first but then enjoys ear and chin rubs. She's an open cat who needs time to settle in. Leo is the smallest and most curious. He loves to cuddle with Lilly on the scratching post. Trust must be earned from him. He has a beautiful coat pattern. Felix is a little trickster. When food is around, he's first at the bowl. He's playful and curious. He loves playing with cat fishing poles or his brother Balu. Felix earns trust through treats. Balu is shy. So far, he rarely lets anyone touch him as it takes time to gain his trust. His trait: in a relaxed state, he occasionally squints, incredibly cute! All kittens are siblings and around 9 weeks old (as of July 10th). The kittens will only leave together and go outside on their own. They travel chipped, vaccinated, and dewormed. Children in the household should be at least 6 years old. They have no experience with dogs or other cats yet. The siblings want a home where they can gain the trust of humans at their own pace.

Die noch etwas schüchteren Geschwister Balu und Leo möchten sich auf die Suche nach ihrem Zuhause machen. Der kleine Leo ist manchmal eine kleine Diva. Bei Streicheleinheiten faucht er als erstes, genießt dann aber doch das Ohr- und Kinnkraulen. Er ist ein offener Kater, der aber Zeit zum Ankommen braucht. Balu ist der Schüchterne der Beiden. Bisher ließ er sich nur selten anfassen, da er lange braucht um Vertrauen zu fassen. Sein Merkmal: Im Entspannungszustand schielt er gelegentlich, unfassbar niedlich! Die zwei Brüder ziehen nur zu zweit aus und in Freigang. Sie reisen, gechippt, geimpft und entwurmt. Kinder im Haushalt sollten mindestens 6 Jahre alt sein. Mit Hunden und anderen Katzen haben sie bisher noch keine Erfahrung gemacht. Die Geschwister wünschen sich ein Zuhause, in dem man ihnen die nötige Zeit gibt, die sie brauchen, um Vertrauen zum Menschen zu fassen.
