Frieda & Hanno

Male · Young · 1 year

- initially shy - Longhair (requires special care) - will only be rehomed with people who have experience with shy cats - a calm household without children - house-trained Hanno and Frieda were born in September 2025 (estimated) to a wild stray cat and spent the first months on the street. In March/April, they came into our care, where they were medically treated, vaccinated, and neutered. As all strays, the two siblings still need to learn to trust humans. Hanno has already made great progress. He is very curious, comes close to people, and takes treats from their hand. Gentle touches are also possible. He has not yet learned that cuddles are nice, and for this next step, a little patience and training are still needed. Frieda is also curious but more reserved than her brother. She prefers to keep a little distance and waits until someone gives her a treat. Both like to play, both with each other and with a toy wand. The two have already adapted well to life in the house: they love scratching posts, sit happily by the window, and sleep on elevated resting places. The siblings are looking for a home with calm people who ideally have experience with shy cats and can offer them enough peace and quiet and the time they need to get used to living with humans. There should be no children in the household, as unexpected movements might unsettle the cats. Whether the two former stray kittens will develop into cuddly cats is not yet clear. Those who give them a new home must be aware of this and agree to it.

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. Wenn Sie Frieda und Hanno ein passendes Zuhause bieten können, schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). (TS)

About Frieda & Hanno

What life with Frieda & Hanno looks like

Frieda & Hanno is a large young adult cat waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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, answered.

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