Adopt Ginny (nur mit Blacky)

European Shorthair · Female

Shy cats in a double pack are looking for a home! These two loving cats were cared for at a feeding station for years, but unfortunately, the support there is no longer possible. We are now searching for a home with people who will meet them with much patience and give them the time they need to open up and settle in. Blacky is already letting us handle him cautiously, while Ginny is still a bit more reserved. Both lie close together and are obviously a team. Who has a big heart and gives the two a chance?

Scheue Katzen im Doppelpack suchen ein Zuhause! Diese beiden lieben Katzen wurden jahrelang an einer Futterstelle betreut, doch leider ist die Versorgung dort nun nicht mehr möglich. Wir suchen für Sie nun ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die Ihnen mit viel Geduld begegnen und die Zeit geben, die sie brauchen, um sich zu öffnen und anzukommen. Blacky lässt sich bereits vorsichtig von uns anfassen, Ginny ist noch etwas zurückhaltender. Beide liegen viel beieinander und sind ganz offensichtlich ein Team. Wer hat ein großes Herz und gibt den Beiden eine Chance? Der Frühling lockt Ginny wohl hinaus, wir sehen sie nun immer häufiger außerhalb ihrer Höhle und sie taut langsam auf

Frequently asked

Adopting Ginny (nur mit Blacky), answered.

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