Bärchen und Balou

Male

Bärchen and Balou, two cats, came to the shelter along with two other cats due to a home eviction. They are comfortable indoors with a secure balcony and are also child-friendly and dog-friendly. Overall, they are deeply relaxed cats looking for a home with lots of love, peace, and relaxation. Bärchen and Balou are very attached to each other and often lie close together in the scratching post. The two gentlemen occasionally play as well. They are easygoing when it comes to food choices. Outdoor living is not an option for either cat.

Die beiden Kater Bärchen und Balou kamen zusammen mit zwei weiteren Katzen aufgrund einer Wohnungsräumung ins Tierheim. Sie kennen Innenhaltung mit gesichertem Balkon und sind zudem kinder- und hundeverträglich. Alles in allem sind es tiefenentspannte Katzen, die ein Zuhause mit viel Liebe, Ruhe und Entspannung suchen. Bärchen und Balou hängen sehr aneinander und liegen oft nah bei einander im Kratzbaum. Hin und wieder spielen die zwei Herren auch noch etwas. Bei der Wahl des Futters sind sie unkompliziert. Eine Haltung in Freigang kommt für beide nicht in Frage.

About Bärchen und Balou

What life with Bärchen und Balou looks like

Bärchen und Balou is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Bärchen und Balou, answered.

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