Duchesse & Marquis

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Duchesse and Marquis, two white Persian cats (born 2024), have already faced a sad past despite their young age. Originally, they were intended to be breeding animals—despite being siblings. Fortunately, they were never mated. When the two arrived at our shelter, they were in very poor condition. Their long fur was severely matted, with thick mats that had already separated from their skin and were only loosely attached. Both had to be shaved and currently look a bit disheveled—however, with proper care, their fur will soon grow back in full beauty. Their eyes also received little care previously. In particular, Marquis has been dealing with a condition called entropion, which is currently being treated. Despite everything, Duchesse and Marquis have retained their gentle and loving nature. They are very close to each other and must stay together—a home without other cats would be ideal for them. In their foster home, they are slowly beginning to regain trust and show cautious interest in their surroundings and the people around them. It’s clear how much they are blossoming now that they are no longer in pain from the matted fur. We are looking for a quiet, loving home for the two of them, where they can take their time to settle in and where the owners are willing to provide regular and careful grooming for Persian cats. Just write to us. As soon as we receive your message, we will get back to you as quickly as possible. Please allow us one to two days for a response.

Duchesse und Marquis, zwei weiße Perserkatzen (geb. 2024), haben trotz ihres jungen Alters bereits eine traurige Vergangenheit hinter sich. Ursprünglich sollten sie als Zuchttiere eingesetzt werden – obwohl es sich um Geschwister handelt. Zum Glück kam es nie zu einer Verpaarung. Als die beiden zu uns kamen, befanden sie sich in einem sehr schlechten Zustand. Ihr langes Fell war stark verfilzt, teilweise hatten sich dicke Filzplatten gebildet, die sich bereits von der Haut gelöst hatten und nur noch lose auflagen. Beide mussten daher geschoren werden und sehen aktuell noch etwas zerzaust aus – doch ihr Fell wird mit der richtigen Pflege bald wieder in voller Schönheit nachwachsen. Auch ihre Augen wurden zuvor leider nicht gepflegt. Besonders Marquis hatte mit einem sogenannten Rolllid zu kämpfen, das aktuell behandelt wird. Trotz allem haben sich Duchesse und Marquis ihre sanfte und liebevolle Art bewahrt. Sie hängen sehr aneinander und möchten unbedingt zusammenbleiben – ein Zuhause ohne weitere Katzen wäre daher ideal für sie. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle beginnen sie nun langsam, wieder Vertrauen zu fassen und zeigen vorsichtiges Interesse an ihrer Umwelt und den Menschen um sie herum. Es ist deutlich zu spüren, wie sehr sie aufblühen, seit sie keine Schmerzen mehr durch das verfilzte Fell haben. Für die beiden suchen wir ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihnen Zeit geben anzukommen und die bereit sind, sich regelmäßig und sorgfältig um die Fellpflege von Perserkatzen zu kümmern. Schreiben Sie uns einfach.Sobald wir Ihre Nachricht erhalten haben, werden wir uns so schnell wie möglich bei Ihnen melden.Bitte haben Sie Verständnis dafür, dass wir uns nicht immer umgehend melden können.Bitte geben Sie uns ein bis zwei Tage Zeit für eine Rückmeldung.

About Duchesse & Marquis

What life with Duchesse & Marquis looks like

Duchesse & Marquis is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutz Euskirchen e.V. 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 Duchesse & Marquis, answered.

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