Adopt Gertrudis & Dionisio

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

Siblings Gertrudis and Dionisio (black and white) were born around February 2025. The two have unfortunately been through a lot: The family they lived with could no longer properly care for the animals due to mental health issues. As a result, it was decided that they could not stay there any longer and they were taken to a perrera. Although animals are no longer killed in these facilities, they still live under the worst conditions. Therefore, the sweet siblings are urgently looking for a new home where they can leave this terrible time behind and finally live happily. They would very much like to move into their new comfortable home together. They get along very well and simply belong together, especially after everything they have experienced. They give each other support, security, and safety. The cats are currently still in Spain. They are already neutered and will also be vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped upon entry. In addition, they have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Can Gertrudis and Dionisio forget their terrible past with you and look forward?

Die Geschwister Gertrudis und Dionisio (schwarz-weiß) haben ca. im Februar 2025 das Licht der Welt erblickt. Die beiden haben leider schon einiges hinter sich: Die Familie, in der sie lebten, konnte sich aufgrund psychischer Probleme nicht mehr angemessen um die Tiere kümmern. Somit wurde entschieden, dass sie nicht mehr dort bleiben konnten und sie wurden in eine Perrera gebracht. Zwar werden in diesen Tötungsstationen keine Tiere mehr getötet, aber sie leben dennoch unter schlimmsten Bedingungen. Daher suchen die süßen Geschwister schnellstmöglich ein neues Zuhause, in dem sie die diese schreckliche Zeit hinter sich lassen und endlich glücklich leben dürfen. Sehr gerne würden die beiden gemeinsam ihr neues Wohlfühlzuhause beziehen. Sie verstehen sich sehr gut und gehören einfach zusammen, vor allem nach allem, was sie erleben mussten. Sie geben sich gegenseitig Halt, Sicherheit und Geborgenheit. Die Katzen befinden sich derzeit noch in Spanien. Sie sind bereits kastriert und werden bei Einreise außerdem geimpft, entwurmt und gechipt sein. Zudem sind negativ auf FiV und FelV getestet. Dürfen Gertrudis und Dionisio ihre schlimme Vergangenheit bei dir vergessen und nach vorne schauen?

About Gertrudis & Dionisio

What life with Gertrudis & Dionisio looks like

Gertrudis & Dionisio is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy 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.

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 Gertrudis & Dionisio, answered.

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