Darky und Marlein

Mixed Breed · Male

These two black beauties represent several pitch-black tomcats and kittens born in 2019. At first, they can be somewhat shy and still need to learn that their future "can openers" can do much more than just open a can. They are rehomed either into an existing cat household or happily as a pair. If you have any questions, please give us a call: / 41890. Or arrange a visit by phone at our Waldtierheim—we're open every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM (directions); last entry is at 3:00 PM!

DE·Show original

Die beiden schwarzen Schönheiten stehen stellvertretend für einige pechschwarze Kater sowie Kätzinnen, die im Jahr 2019 geboren sind. Anfangs sind sie teilweise etwas schüchtern und müssen erst noch lernen, dass ihre zukünftigen "Dosenöffner" viel mehr können, als nur die Dose zu öffnen. Sie werden in Katzengesellschaft oder auch gern zu zweit vermittelt. Wenn Sie Fragen haben, rufen Sie uns an: / 41890 Oder vereinbaren Sie telefonisch einen Besuchstermin bei uns im Waldtierheim, wir haben jeden Mittwoch, Samstag und Sonntag jeweils von 11.00 bis 16.00 Uhr geöffnet (Anfahrt), letzter Einlass ist um 15.00 Uhr!

About Darky und Marlein

What life with Darky und Marlein looks like

Darky und Marlein is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Waldtierheim (Tierheim Verlorenwasser) in Germany.

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 Darky und Marlein, answered.

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