Basti und Berti

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Two tigers are better than one. My brother and I (6 months) are only available as a pair. We look very similar. So, tiger fans will love us. But we are different in character. Basti is a bit bigger and bolder. While we are initially shy around strangers, once we gain trust, we are true world champions at purring. We really enjoy the petting from our foster mom - especially Basti. He also loves being carried around. But that wasn't always the case. We had to get used to it because we came from a farm where we had little human contact. So, don't expect us to immediately approach you when you come to meet us. But if you bring treats or toys, you can definitely win us over. Even if we are initially reserved and a bit uncertain, we are great little cats that you just have to love. We are very playful, lively, and curious. So, we bring life to the house. We are not suitable for households with small children. But older children are okay for us. We also allow other cats to live there; we are uncomplicated and very social and can integrate well into a group. We get along well with indoor living. But we would like a well-connected balcony. If you live in an area that is safe for cats, we would also appreciate outdoor access later. By the way, we were born in April this year and will be spayed and microchipped before moving to you. So, we have introduced ourselves. Now it's your turn. If you want to meet us, please contact our foster mom.

Was ist besser als ein Tiger? Ganz klar zwei Tiger. Meinen Bruder und mich (6 Monate) gibt es nämlich nur im Doppelpack. Wir sehen uns sehr ähnlich. Also Tigerfans kommen bei uns voll auf ihre Kosten. Vom Wesen unterscheiden wir uns dann aber doch. Basti ist etwas größer und mutiger. Zwar sind wir anfangs bei Fremden noch schüchtern, aber sobald wir Vertrauen gefasst haben, sind wir wahre Weltmeister im Schnurren. Die Streicheleinheiten von unser Pflegemama können wir schon richtig genießen - besonders Basti. Er lässt sich auch sehr gerne herumtragen. Aber das war nicht immer so. Wir mussten uns erst daran gewöhnen, weil wir von einem Bauernhof stammen, auf dem wir wenig Menschenkontakt hatten. Deshalb sollten Sie nicht erwarten, dass wir sofort auf Sie zugehen, wenn Sie zum Kennenlernen vorbeikommen. Aber wenn Sie Leckerlis oder Spielzeug dabeihaben, dann können Sie uns sicher von sich überzeugen. Auch wenn wir anfangs noch zurückhaltend und etwas unsicher sind, sind wir ganz tolle Katerchen, die man einfach lieben muss. Wir sind sehr verspielt, quirlig und neugierig. Mit uns kommt also richtig Leben in die Bude. Für einen Haushalt mit Kleinkindern sind wir nicht geeignet. Aber größere Kinder sind okay für uns. Dafür dürfen dort gerne andere Katzen wohnen; wir sind unkompliziert und sehr sozial und können uns gut in eine Gruppe integrieren. Mit Wohnungshaltung kommen wir gut zu Recht. Einen gut vernetzten Balkon möchten wir aber haben. Sollten Sie in einer für Katzen ungefährlichen Gegend wohnen, würden wir uns später auch über Freigang freuen. Übrigens wurden wir im April dieses Jahres geboren und werden noch vor dem Umzug zu Ihnen kastriert und gechipt. So, wir haben uns vorgestellt. Jetzt sind Sie dran. Wenn Sie uns kennenlernen möchten, dann melden Sie sich bei unserer Pflegemama.

About Basti und Berti

What life with Basti und Berti looks like

Basti und Berti is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V..

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Basti und Berti, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Basti und Berti?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Basti und Berti on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Basti und Berti if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhilfe Stuttgart 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Basti und Berti 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 Basti und Berti 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 Stuttgart e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Basti und Berti 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.
