Adopt Boris und Micky

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

Boris und Micky were rehomed with us in 2020, and unfortunately, the owner has passed away, so the two have returned to us again. Both are super loving and cuddly tomcats. Boris comes right up to you and wants to cuddle. Micky is a bit shyer and needs a bit more time, but then he will also come for cuddles. Boris has a thyroid overfunction and is on tablets twice a day. Of course, regular blood controls have to take place to check if the value is still within the normal range or if the dosage needs to be adjusted. Micky's thyroid values are also on the borderline. He is not supposed to get any medication at the moment, but that still needs to be checked again. It's possible that both cats might need medication in the end. Regular vet visits are advisable in their age, and both handle them very well.

Boris und Micky wurden 2020 von uns vermittelt und leider ist der Halter jetzt verstorben, weshalb die Beiden wieder zu uns zurückkamen. Beide sind super liebe und verschmuste Kater. Boris kommt sofort auf einen zu und möchte kuscheln. Micky ist etwas schüchterner und braucht ein bisschen länger, aber dann kommt er auch kuscheln. Boris hat eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion und ist auf Tabletten 2xtgl. eingestellt. Dafür müssen natürlich regelmäßige Blutkontrollen stattfinden, um zu kontrollieren, ob der Wert immer noch im Normbereich ist oder ob die Dosierung angepasst werden muss. Mickys Schilddrüsenwerte sind auch an der Grenze. Er soll aktuell noch keine Medikamente bekommen, aber das muss nochmal kontrolliert werden. Kann natürlich sein, dass dann beide Katzen Medikamente bekommen müssen. In dem Alter sind regelmäßige Tierarztbesuche sowieso angebracht, das machen beide aber sehr gut mit.

About Boris und Micky

What life with Boris und Micky looks like

Boris und Micky is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Kolner Tierschutzverein in Köln.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Boris und Micky, answered.

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