Dieter & Thomas

European Shorthair · Male

These two funny cats were found unneutered, and so far, no one has reported them missing. Right now, they’re living by the motto: “What does the world cost...” They love cuddling just as much, but first things first—they like to turn the world upside down! They play rather rough with us humans, yet they can also be very gentle. But when food is around, these two transform into little kangaroos 😊—they jump as high as the plates are held in a human’s hand. You’d think they’re starving several times a day. We’re already working intensively on this issue with them, because nobody really wants that 😉 But even these teens will grow out of their mischievous phase and surely become well-behaved cats—cats you’ll never get bored with.

DE·Show original

Diese beiden lustige Katzen wurden unkastriert gefunden und bisher vermisst sie auch keiner. Die zwei Leben aktuell nach dem Motto: was kostet die Welt … sie schmusen auch sehr gerne, aber zuerst wird mal die Welt auf den Kopf gestellt. Sie spielen recht derb mit uns Menschen, können aber auch zart. Wenn es Futter gibt mutieren die beiden aber zu kleinen Kängurus 😊: sie springen so hoch, wie der Mensch die Teller in der Hand hat. Man könnte meinen, sie verhungern täglich mehrmals. An diesem Problem arbeiten wir bereits aber intensiv mit den beiden, denn das will man nicht wirklich 😉 Aber auch diese Teenies kommen aus diesem Flegelalter heraus und werden bestimmt artige Katzen werden- mit denen es nie langweilig wird.

About Dieter & Thomas

What life with Dieter & Thomas looks like

Dieter & Thomas is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Frankenthal 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 Dieter & Thomas, answered.

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