Blacki & Alva

Unknown · Kitten · 5 months

We are Blacki and Alva – two kittens from two different litters. At first, we had to get used to each other a bit, but now we are a really great team. I, Alva, am the little daredevil of the two of us. I like to initiate the game, go openly to our humans and get my pets. Sometimes I'm a bit wild – just like my mom. I, Blacki, on the other hand, am more cautious. I observe the situation from a distance first, before I join in and get my personal cuddles. As different as we are – together we are just an unbeatable team and are looking for a beautiful home together Contact: Isabela

Die beiden sind inzwischen fast 5 Monate alt und möchten endlich ausziehen! Wer schenkt uns endlich ein Zuhause? Wir sind Blacki und Alva – zwei Kitten aus zwei verschiedenen Dreierwürfen. Am Anfang mussten wir uns erst ein bisschen zusammenraufen, aber mittlerweile sind wir ein richtig tolles Team. Ich, Alva, bin die kleine Draufgängerin von uns beiden. Ich initiiere gerne das Spiel, gehe offen auf unsere Menschen zu und hole mir meine Streicheleinheiten. Manchmal bin ich dabei auch ein bisschen wild – ganz wie meine Mama. Ich, Blacki, bin dagegen eher die Vorsichtige. Ich beobachte das Geschehen erstmal ganz entspannt aus der Ferne, bevor ich mich dazu geselle und mir meine ganz persönlichen Kuscheleinheiten abhole. So unterschiedlich wir auch sind – zusammen sind wir einfach ein unschlagbares Team und suchen zusammen nach einem schönen Zuhause Kontakt: Isabela

About Blacki & Alva

What life with Blacki & Alva looks like

Blacki & Alva is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Blacki & Alva, answered.

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