How do I contact the shelter about Biene + Maja?

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

Can I adopt Biene + Maja if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Wuppertal 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 Biene + Maja 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 Biene + Maja 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 Wuppertal early rather than rehoming privately; they know Biene + Maja and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Biene + Maja

European Shorthair · Female

Binee and Maya were unfortunately given back to us a second time. Despite a clear explanation beforehand that Binee is unfortunately almost incontinent and urinates in various corners of the house. Additionally, both were fed a very sugary food instead of the urinary food, causing them to have quite a bit of weight gain. Now, both need to lose some weight and get used to the urinary food, which they currently quite refuse. However, both mice are otherwise very loving and friendly, enjoy a lot of attention, and are very affectionate. Maya is the explorer, while Binee needs a bit more time to warm up. The two are currently only suitable for apartment living. Due to the problems with urine retention, we would like to try to get them used to the outdoors, perhaps to alleviate some of the issues. Since the two have been in a large room in our animal shelter, everything has been going very well. This animal was surrendered to the shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Biene und Maya wurden leider ein zweites Mal bei uns abgegeben. Trotz vorheriger klaren Erklärung das Biene leider so gut wie inkontinent ist und in verschiedene Ecken des Hauses Urin lassen kann. Zudem wurden beide leider statt mit dem genannten Urinary Futter mit einem sehr zuckerhaltigen Futter gefüttert, sodass sie zudem auch noch ziemliches Übergewicht haben. Nun müssen beide erst einmal wieder etwas abspecken und an das Urinary Futter gewöhnt werden, welches sie momentan leider ziemlich ablehnen. Beide Mäuse sind aber ansonsten ganz liebe und zutrauliche Katzen, die gern viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommen und beschmust werden. Maya ist eher die Erforscherin, während Biene ein bisschen mehr Eingewöhnungszeit benötigt um komplett auf zu tauen. Die beiden kennen bisher nur die Wohnungshaltung. Auf Grund der genannte Probleme mit dem Urinabsatz würden wir aber gerne einmal versuchen die beiden auch an den Freigang zu gewöhnen, um so vielleicht auch etwas Erleichterung zu bekommen. Bei uns im Tierheim klappt es schon seit die beiden in einem großen Raum sind sehr gut und es geht so gut wie gar nichts mehr daneben. Gerne können die beiden Süßen einmal in den
