Dusty & Donut

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Dusty & Donut Race: EKH Gender: Male Color: blue & white black Born: 02.07.2026 Compatible with: same species The two brothers Dusty & Donut were reported to the animal shelter as a "stray family". While we were still considering how to best secure the two boys on the premises, field and area fires broke out in the summer heat near the discovery site... It was clear that the security had to be expedited and started immediately. We, Dusty & Donut, were lucky and marched immediately - hungry as they were - into the live trap and are now safe. Now the two about 4 months old kittens just need a patient beautiful home - because they have not had much to do with people so far - except that a food bowl appears regularly at a feeding station. Our cat children must be spayed or neutered at 6 months of age. This must be proven to the association by a spay/neuter certificate. Desired home: A cat-experienced family - with or without children - with a lot of patience but also fun to play with the two and the knowledge that cuddling and petting is not possible at the moment, would be the best home for the two young cats. Later outdoor access in a traffic-calmed area would be possible in any case. Contact: If you would like to meet Dusty & Donut, contact Anja Kalisch

– doppeltes Glück Status: offen Name: Dusty & Donut Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: männlich Farbe: blau & weiß schwarz Geboren: 02.07.2026 Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Die beiden Brüder Dusty & Donut wurden dem Tierschutz als eine „Streunerfamilie“ gemeldet. Während wir noch überlegten, wie die Sicherung der beiden Jungs auf dem Gelände am besten bewerkstelligt wird, kam es unweit der Fundstelle in der Sommerhitze zu Feld- und Flächenbränden… Damit war klar, dass die Sicherung vorgezogen werden und unverzüglich starten musste. Wir bzw Dusty & Donut hatten Glück und marschierten sofort – hungrig wie sie waren in die Lebendfalle und sind nunmehr in Sicherheit. Nun brauchen die beiden etwa 4 Monate alten Kitten nur noch ein geduldiges schönes Zuhause – denn von Menschen haben sie bisher nicht besonders viel mitbekommen – außer, dass regelmäßig ein Futternapf an einer Futterstelle auftaucht. Unsere Katzenkinder müssen mit dem 6. Lebensmonat kastriert werden. Dies ist dem Verein durch eine Kastrationsbescheinigung nachzuweisen. Wunschzuhause: Eine katzenerfahrene Familie – mit oder ohne Kinder – mit viiiieeel Geduld aber auch Spaß daran, mit den beiden zu spielen und dem Wissen, dass Kuscheln und Schmusen derzeit noch nicht möglich ist, wäre das tollste Heim für die beiden Jungkatzen. Späterer Freigang in verkehrsberuhigter Lage wäre auf jeden Fall möglich. Kontakt: Wenn Sie Dusty + Donut kennenlernen möchten, Kontakt unter Anja Kalisch

About Dusty & Donut

What life with Dusty & Donut looks like

Dusty & Donut is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dusty & Donut, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dusty & Donut?
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 Dusty & Donut on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dusty & Donut 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 Dusty & Donut 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 Dusty & Donut 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 Dusty & Donut 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.
