How do I contact the shelter about Duchesse & Marie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hamburger Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Duchesse & Marie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Duchesse & Marie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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 Duchesse & Marie 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 Duchesse & Marie 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Duchesse & Marie 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.

Adopt Duchesse & Marie

Female · Kitten

Duchesse and Marie came to us as found animals at the animal shelter. Now, this sibling pair is searching for a new forever home. Duchesse and Marie are two charming kittens who are looking for a loving home together. Both are friendly, loving, and cuddly, but need some time to build trust with new people. Once they settle in and realize they are safe, they show their loving side and enjoy the company of their people very much. Age-appropriate, the two are playful, lively, and curious. They love to play together, explore their surroundings, and they always create funny and heartwarming moments. Duchesse has her own unique character: the little lady is a true Drama Queen and excels at clearly communicating her wishes. With her charming nature, she regularly brings smiles to her people. Marie is her faithful companion, and together, the two form a well-coordinated team that should not be separated. Duchesse and Marie are house-trained and require people who can give them the time to settle in and build trust. Since both are very active and curious, they want to enjoy a proper outdoor run after an adequate settling period. Therefore, they can only be rehomed into a home where they can later be safely outdoors. For them, we wish for a loving home with people who enjoy young, lively kittens and want to accompany them on their journey into adulthood. Whoever gives Duchesse and Marie the necessary patience gets two happy, cuddly, and lively little cat girls who bring plenty of joy into the home together. This cat needs outdoor access.

Duchesse und Marie kamen als Fundtiere zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun sucht das Geschwisterpaar ein neues Für-immer-Zuhause. Duchesse und Marie sind zwei bezaubernde Kitten, die gemeinsam auf der Suche nach einem liebevollen Zuhause sind. Beide sind freundlich, lieb und verschmust, brauchen anfangs jedoch etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu neuen Menschen aufzubauen. Wenn sie sich eingelebt haben und merken, dass sie sicher sind, zeigen sie ihre liebevolle Seite und genießen die Nähe ihrer Menschen sehr. Altersgemäß sind die beiden verspielt, lebhaft und neugierig. Sie lieben es, miteinander zu toben, zu spielen und ihre Umgebung zu erkunden. Dabei sorgen sie immer wieder für lustige und herzerwärmende Momente. Duchesse hat dabei ihren ganz eigenen Charakter: Die kleine Dame ist eine echte Drama Queen und versteht es hervorragend, ihre Wünsche deutlich mitzuteilen. Mit ihrer charmanten Art wird sie ihre Menschen regelmäßig zum Schmunzeln bringen. Marie ist ihre treue Begleiterin, und gemeinsam bilden die beiden ein eingespieltes Team, das nicht getrennt werden soll. Duchesse und Marie sind stubenrein und benötigen Menschen, die ihnen die Zeit geben, in Ruhe anzukommen und Vertrauen zu fassen. Da beide sehr aktiv und neugierig sind, möchten sie nach einer ausreichenden Eingewöhnungszeit unbedingt Freigang genießen können. Deshalb werden sie nur in ein Zuhause vermittelt, in dem sie später sicher nach draußen dürfen. Für die beiden wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die Freude an jungen, aufgeweckten Katzen haben und sie auf ihrem Weg ins Erwachsenenleben begleiten möchten. Wer Duchesse und Marie die nötige Geduld schenkt, bekommt zwei fröhliche, verschmuste und lebenslustige Katzenmädchen, die gemeinsam jede Menge Freude ins Haus bringen. Wenn Sie Duchesse und Marie den Traum eines Für-Immer-Zuhause erfüllen möchten, schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). 05.06.2026 (kw)

About Duchesse & Marie

What life with Duchesse & Marie looks like

Duchesse & Marie is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

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.
