Duchess & Poppy

Persian · Female · Young · 3 years

Mom with Little Daughter Status: Open Name: Duchess and Poppy Breed: Persian-Mix Gender: Female, spayed (Mom) Color: Black-and-white, tortoiseshell on white Age: Approximately 3 years old; young cat born on May 15, 2026 Compatible with: Other cats Duchess is a very sweet and cautious Persian lady. She came to us from a larger seizure by the veterinary office, and her round little belly revealed that she wasn't alone. The May kittens were then born at our foster home—unfortunately too early and partly underdeveloped. Sadly, three of the little ones didn't make it, but the tiny Poppy fought her way through! As an only child, she had all the attention and Mama’s full love all to herself. Duchess has since been spayed and can now simply be herself. She’s started playing and, after a brief hesitation, actively seeks cuddles. She loves being brushed so much that she drools quite a bit. Poppy is still a bit shy around new people, but she has lots of fun playing and remains a true mama’s girl. Now both cats are sitting ready with their bags packed and can set off on new adventures. Due to their breed, both need regular grooming. Our kittens must be spayed or neutered by the age of 6 months. This requirement must be documented by the association via a spaying/neutering certificate. Preferred home: For these Persian ladies, we’d like a rather quiet home, perhaps with older children. A sunny spot on a secure balcony would be wonderful. Contact: Iris Brockelmanns

Mama mit Töchterchen Status: offen Name: Duchesse und Poppy Rasse: Perser-Mix Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert (Mama) Farbe: Schwarzweiß, Schildpatt auf Weiß Alter: ca. 3 Jahre, Jungtier vom 15. Mai 2026 Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Duchess ist eine sehr liebe und vorsichtige Perserdame. Sie kam zu uns aus einer größeren Sicherstellung des Veterinäramtes und ihr kugeliges Bäuchlein verriet, dass sie nicht alleine kam. Die Maikätzchen wurden dann auf der Pflegestelle geboren – leider zu früh und teilweise unterentwickelt. Drei Kinderchen haben es leider nicht geschafft, aber die kleine Poppy hat sich durchgekämpft! Als Einzelkind hatte sie nun alle Möglichkeiten und Mama’s ganze Liebe für sich alleine. Duchesse wurde zwischenzeitlich kastriert und kann ab jetzt ganz einfach nur sie selbst sein. Sie hat angefangen zu spielen und kommt nach kurzem Zögern aktiv zum Schmusen. Bürsten findet sie so toll, da wird ordentlich gesabbert. Poppy fremdelt gerade ein wenig, hat aber großen Spaß beim Spielen und ist ein Mamakind. Nun sitzen beide auf gepackten Köfferchen und können sich aufmachen zu neuen Abenteuern. Rassebedingt brauchen beide regelmäßige Fellpflege. Unsere Katzenkinder müssen mit dem 6. Lebensmonat kastriert werden. Dies ist dem Verein durch eine Kastrationsbescheinigung nachzuweisen. Wunschzuhause: Für die Perserdamen wünschen wir uns ein eher ruhiges Zuhause, vielleicht mit größeren Kindern. Ein Platz an der Sonne auf einem gesicherten Balkon wäre toll.

About Duchess & Poppy

What life with Duchess & Poppy looks like

Duchess & Poppy is a large young adult persian cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Duchess & Poppy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Duchess & Poppy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Duchess & Poppy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Duchess & Poppy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Duchess & Poppy 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 Duchess & Poppy 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 Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Duchess & Poppy 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.
