How do I contact the shelter about Betty und Blanka?

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

Can I adopt Betty und Blanka if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzbund Köln 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 Betty und Blanka 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 Betty und Blanka 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 Katzenschutzbund Köln early rather than rehoming privately; they know Betty und Blanka 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.

Betty und Blanka

Mixed Breed · Female

Alter: approximately 4 months. Sex: 2 females Compatibility: two animals, together Housing: apartment with secured balcony, no outdoor access Health: microchipped, vaccinated (cold/disease), dewormed/de-fleaed Adoption fee: €250 Betty and Blanka were collected from the street along with their brothers. We were informed and somehow we had silently expected that someone would miss the little chaotic group. But no. No search notices, no posters, nothing on Tasso. Silence on all channels. Then we have to assume it was no accident. The little ones are not yet real cuddly kittens. Although they were certainly not born wild, it seems that whoever they were born from did not really bother with them. But, as kittens do, they learn quickly, are playful and purr even when you catch them. They don't come to cuddle voluntarily yet. But that will happen.Although British Shorthair cats are said to be among the calmer representatives, this only applies to little Betty. The others have a thick skull behind their ears and can spread quite a bit of chaos if you let them. The first vaccination has already been done. They would be ready for their own home by the end of July.Neutering must be arranged by the new owner at around 6 months old and proven to us.The foster home is located in Cologne. I am interested in this cat

. Alter: ca. 4 Monate. Geschlecht: 2xweiblichVerträglichkeit: Zweittiere, zusammenHaltung: Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon, kein FreigangGesundheit: bei Abgabe gechippt, geimpft (Schnupfen/Seuche), entwurmt/entflohtSchutzgebühr: 250 Euro Betty und Blanka wurden zusammen mit ihren Brüdern auf der Straße eingesammelt. Man informierte uns und irgendwie hatten wir im Stillen ja doch erwartet, dass irgendwer die kleine Chaotentruppe vermissen würde. Aber nein. Keine Suchmeldungen, keine Aushänge, nichts auf Tasso. Stille auf allen Kanälen. Dann müssen wir wohl davon ausgehen, dass es kein Versehen war.Blanka hat sich zu einem Kuschel-Mäuschen entwickelt. Ist sie im Schmuse-Modus, gibt es kein Halten mehr.Betty ist da noch etwas zurückhaltend. Sie ist noch etwas schüchtern in dieser Beziehung. Es muss sich für sie richtig anfühlen, dann darf auch gestreichelt werden.Beide sind altersmäßig verspielt und haben ganz schön Unsinn im Kopf.Auch wenn man British Kurzhaar-Katzen nachsagt, dass sie zu den ruhigeren Vertretern gehören, trifft das hier nur auf die kleine Betty zu. Alle Anderen haben es faustdick hinter den Ohren und können ein ganz schönes Chaos verbreiten, wenn man sie lässt. Der Balkon der Pflegestelle steht bei den Kleinen hoch im Kurs. Den sollte es im neuen Zuhause bitte auch geben.Die erste Impfung ist bereits vollbracht. Ab Ende Juli wären sie bereit für ein eigenes Zuhause.Die Kastration muss im Alter von ca. 6 Monaten vom neuen Besitzer veranlasst werden und ist uns nachzuweisen.Die Pflegestelle befindet sich in Köln.
