Adopt Chilli & Pepper

Male

Chilli & Pepper are searching for a responsible home together. The two tomcats, Chilli & Pepper, are only 4 months old and full of energy. Age-appropriately, they are playful, curious, and active. They love to dart through the apartment together, play with each other, and then snuggle closely to sleep. Both are very friendly and exceptionally cute, so they quickly win the hearts of their people. Since Chilli and Pepper are very close, they can only be rehomed together. They rely heavily on each other and should remain together in the future. For the two of them, we wish for a loving home in an apartment that provides them with enough mental stimulation, affection, and places to retreat. A secure balcony would be nice, but is not a requirement. Special note: Scottish Fold (Fold-eared cats) Chilli and Pepper are Scottish Fold cats. The folded ears, typical for this breed, arise from a genetic mutation. However, this mutation affects not only the ears but the entire cartilage and skeletal system. Therefore, Scottish Folds are considered a welfare breed. The genetic condition known as Osteochondrodysplasia can lead to painful changes in joints, bones, and cartilage. Affected cats can suffer from movement restrictions, lameness, stiffness, arthritis, and chronic pain throughout their lives. While some animals may show no or only minor symptoms for a long time, all Fold-eared cats carry the causative mutation. For this reason, it is important for us to openly inform about the health risks of this breed. Chilli and Pepper cannot be blamed for their origins and deserve a loving home despite these issues. People are sought who are aware of the special responsibility, monitor health developments, and are willing to take the cats to the vet when needed. Those who want to meet Chilli and Pepper will be greeted by two charming young tomcats who want to go through life together and deserve a home where they are loved and cared for – regardless of the mistakes people have made in breeding this breed. Chilli & Pepper look forward to a understanding home that provides them with security, care, and a shared life. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Chilli & Pepper suchen gemeinsam ein verantwortungsbewusstes Zuhause Die beiden Kater Chilli & Pepper sind erst 4 Monate jung und stecken voller Lebensfreude. Altersentsprechend sind sie verspielt, neugierig und aktiv. Sie lieben es, gemeinsam durch die Wohnung zu flitzen, miteinander zu spielen und anschließend eng aneinander gekuschelt zu schlafen. Beide sind sehr freundlich und ausgesprochen süß, sodass sie schnell die Herzen ihrer Menschen erobern. Da Chilli und Pepper eng miteinander verbunden sind, werden sie nur gemeinsam vermittelt. Sie orientieren sich stark aneinander und sollen auch in Zukunft zusammenbleiben. Für die beiden wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, in dem sie genügend Beschäftigung, Zuwendung und Rückzugsmöglichkeiten erhalten. Ein gesicherter Balkon wäre schön, ist aber keine Voraussetzung. Besonderheit: Scottish Fold (Faltohrkatzen) Chilli und Pepper sind Scottish Fold Katzen. Die nach vorne gefalteten Ohren, die für diese Rasse typisch sind, entstehen durch eine genetische Mutation. Diese Mutation betrifft jedoch nicht nur die Ohren, sondern den gesamten Knorpel- und Knochenapparat des Körpers. Die Scottish Fold gilt deshalb als Qualzucht. Die genetische Erkrankung, die als Osteochondrodysplasie bezeichnet wird, kann zu schmerzhaften Veränderungen an Gelenken, Knochen und Knorpeln führen. Betroffene Katzen können im Laufe ihres Lebens unter Bewegungseinschränkungen, Lahmheiten, Versteifungen, Arthrose und chronischen Schmerzen leiden. Auch wenn manche Tiere lange Zeit keine oder nur geringe Symptome zeigen, tragen alle Faltohrkatzen die ursächliche Mutation in sich. Aus diesem Grund ist es uns wichtig, offen über die gesundheitlichen Risiken dieser Rasse zu informieren. Chilli und Pepper können nichts für ihre Herkunft und verdienen trotz dieser Problematik ein liebevolles Zuhause. Gesucht werden Menschen, die sich der besonderen Verantwortung bewusst sind, gesundheitliche Entwicklungen aufmerksam beobachten und bereit sind, die beiden bei Bedarf tierärztlich begleiten zu lassen. Wer Chilli und Pepper kennenlernen möchte, bekommt zwei bezaubernde junge Kater, die gemeinsam durchs Leben gehen möchten und ein Zuhause verdienen, in dem sie geliebt und umsorgt werden – unabhängig von den Fehlern, die Menschen bei der Zucht dieser Rasse gemacht haben. Chilli & Pepper freuen sich auf ein verständnisvolles Zuhause, das ihnen Geborgenheit, Fürsorge und ein gemeinsames Leben ermöglicht.

About Chilli & Pepper

What life with Chilli & Pepper looks like

Chilli & Pepper is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mönchengladbach in Mönchengladbach.

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. 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 Chilli & Pepper, answered.

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