Frieda & Hanno (2)

Male · Young · 1 year

Hanno and Frieda are two shy long-haired cats that were born in September 2025 (estimated) from a wild stray cat and lived on the streets for their first few months. They came into our care in March/April, where they received medical attention, vaccinations, and were spayed/neutered. Like all strays, both siblings still need to learn to trust humans. Hanno has made great progress already; he is very curious, approaches people, takes treats from their hands, and gentle touches are possible. However, he hasn't learned that petting is enjoyable yet, and this next step requires patience and training. Frieda is also curious but more reserved than her brother. She prefers to keep a distance and waits until someone gives her a treat. Both love playing together and with a fishing rod toy. They have already adapted well to life indoors: they love scratching posts, sitting by the window, and sleeping on elevated perches. The siblings are looking for a home with calm people who ideally have experience with shy cats, can provide them enough peace and retreat options, and give them the time they need to get used to living with humans. There should be no children in the household as unforeseen movements could unsettle the cats. It is uncertain at this point whether these former strays will develop into cuddly cats. Whoever gives them a new home must be aware of and agree to this.

- anfangs schüchtern - Langhaar (benötigt besondere Pflege) - werden nur an Menschen vermittelt, die Erfahrung mit scheuen Katzen haben - ruhiger Haushalt ohne Kinder - stubenrein Hanno und Frieda wurden im September 2025 (geschätzt) von einer wilden Streunerin geboren und haben die ersten Monate auf der Straße gelebt. Im März/April kamen sie in unsere Obhut, wo sie medizinisch versorgt, geimpft und kastriert wurden. Wie alle Streuner müssen die beiden Geschwister noch lernen, dass sie Menschen vertrauen können. Hanno hat dabei schon große Fortschritte gemacht. Er ist sehr neugierig, kommt in die Nähe des Menschen und nimmt die Leckerlis aus der Hand. Auch zarte Berühungen sind bereit möglich. Noch hat er nicht gelernt, dass Streicheleinheiten schön sind, und für diesen nächsten Schritt braucht es noch ein wenig Geduld und Training. Frieda ist ebenfalls neugierig, jedoch etwas zurückhaltender als ihr Bruder. Sie bleibt gerne ein wenig auf Abstand und wartet ab, bis man ihr ein Leckerli zuteilt. Beide spielen gerne, sowohl miteinander als auch mit einer Spielangel. An das Leben im Haus haben sich die beiden schon gut gewöhnt: Sie lieben Kratzbäume, sitzen gerne am Fenster und schlafen auf erhöhten Liegeplätzen. Die Geschwister suchen ein Zuhause bei ruhigen Menschen, die idealerweise Erfahrung mit scheuen Katzen haben, die ihnen genügend Ruhe und Rückzugsmöglichkeiten bieten und die Zeit geben, die sie benötigen, um sich an das Leben mit Menschen zu gewöhnen. Im Haushalt sollten keine Kinder leben, da unvorhergesehene Bewegungen die Katzen verunsichern. Ob die beiden ehemaligen Streunerkätzchen sich noch zu Kuscheltigern entwickeln, ist zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nicht abzusehen. Wer ihnen ein neues Zuhause gibt, muss sich dessen bewusst und damit einverstanden sein.

About Frieda & Hanno (2)

What life with Frieda & Hanno (2) looks like

Frieda & Hanno (2) is a large young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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 Frieda & Hanno (2), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frieda & Hanno (2)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Frieda & Hanno (2) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Frieda & Hanno (2) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hamburg 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 Frieda & Hanno (2) 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 Frieda & Hanno (2) 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 Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Frieda & Hanno (2) 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.
