Bärbel und Blacky

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Bärbel und Blacky sind erst vier Jahre alt und haben trotzdem schon einen schweren Einschnitt hinter sich: Nach dem Tod ihres Besitzers mussten sie ihr vertrautes Zuhause verlassen und zu uns ins Tierheim ziehen. Die beiden kennen bisher ausschließlich Wohnungshaltung und sind mit der völlig neuen Situation im Katzenhaus noch sehr überfordert. Sie fressen zuverlässig und benutzen ihr Katzenklo, ziehen sich tagsüber aber in eine hoch gelegene Box zurück. Wie Bärbel und Blacky wirklich „ticken“, können wir deshalb momentan kaum sagen – ihre Angst überlagert noch alles. Für die beiden suchen wir daher ganz besonders geduldige, katzenerfahrene Menschen, die nichts von ihnen erwarten und ihnen einfach die Zeit geben, die sie brauchen. Vielleicht sind es einige Tage, vielleicht mehrere Wochen – entscheidend ist, dass Bärbel und Blacky ihr Tempo selbst bestimmen dürfen. Gesucht wird auch gerne eine Pflegestelle mit Vermittlungsoption. Das Zuhause sollte ruhig und kinderlos sein und mindestens etwa 70 m² Platz bieten. Ein abgesicherter Balkon wäre ein großes Plus. Wer Freude daran hat, zwei vorsichtigen Katzen Schritt für Schritt zu zeigen, dass die Welt wieder sicher sein kann, könnte für Bärbel und Blacky genau der richtige Mensch sein. Bei Interesse meldet euch bitte mit Infos (Wohnort, Hundeerfahrung, andere Haustiere usw.) und einer Telefonnummer per Mail:

About Bärbel und Blacky

What life with Bärbel und Blacky looks like

Bärbel und Blacky is a large 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.

🇩🇪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 Bärbel und Blacky, answered.

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