Cocky&Kitty

Male · Kitten · 4 months

We are a pair of black and white Cocker Spaniels, Cocky and Kitty, looking for a forever home. We are currently at the animal shelter and are hoping to find a home with a secure balcony. Kitty is initially shy and reserved, but once she breaks the ice (which doesn't take long, we promise!), she loves to cuddle just as much as I do. We are curious and uncomplicated companions and would love to find a home where we can stay forever. We would appreciate good food and many treats, but that's all. Please get in touch, we are two wonderful friends who will enrich your life.

Voraussetzung: Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon. Servus, ich bin der Cocky (schwarz weiß) und möchte meine Partnerin, die Kitty, und mich gerne vorstellen, da wir gehört haben, dass man so eventuell ein schönes Zuhause bekommen kann. Kitty ist anfangs etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend, ist das Eis aber erst mal gebrochen (was wirklich gar nicht lange dauert, versprochen!), dann schmust sie genauso gerne wie ich es tue. Ansonsten sind wir neugierige und unkomplizierte Zeitgenossen und wünschen uns nichts sehnlicher, als endlich für immer anzukommen. Okay, vielleicht noch gutes Essen und viele Leckerchen, aber das war es dann wirklich, versprochen. Bitte melde dich, zwei wirklich tolle Kumpels werden dein Leben bereichern.

About Cocky&Kitty

What life with Cocky&Kitty looks like

Cocky&Kitty is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Cocky&Kitty, answered.

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