Adopt Gurke und Gin

Male · Kitten · 8 months

Name: Gurke Born: 05/2025 Gender: female Color: grayish-white Vaccination status: 2x vaccinated Neutered: yes Name: Gin Born: 05/2025 Gender: male Color: brown tabby Vaccination status: 2x vaccinated Neutered: yes The siblings Gurke und Gin are two sensitive feline souls who want to explore the world together. Both are still very shy and currently do not allow themselves to be touched, but they observe their surroundings attentively and curiously. It is clear: Their interest in their environment is there – only their courage needs more time. For Gurke und Gin, we are looking for a quiet home with people who have a lot of patience, empathy, and time. People who do not expect anything in return but let trust grow and appreciate small steps. We are convinced: Whoever gives these two a chance will be richly rewarded. Behind their caution, there are certainly loyal companions who, with the right amount of love and understanding, will develop into wonderful companions. Since they are very attached to each other, Gurke und Gin will only be rehomed together. Once they have acclimated and gained enough trust, they wish for free roaming in a low-traffic area.

Beide sind noch sehr schüchtern und lassen sich aktuell nicht anfassen, beobachten jedoch aufmerksam und neugierig, was um sie herum geschieht. Man merkt deutlich: Das Interesse an ihrer Umwelt ist da – nur der Mut braucht noch Zeit. Für Gurke und Gin suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen mit viel Geduld, Einfühlungsvermögen und Zeit. Menschen, die nichts erwarten, sondern Vertrauen wachsen lassen und kleine Fortschritte zu schätzen wissen. Wir sind überzeugt: Wer den beiden diese Chance gibt, wird reich belohnt. Hinter der Vorsicht stecken ganz bestimmt treue Gefährten, die sich mit der richtigen Portion Liebe und Verständnis zu wunderbaren Begleitern entwickeln werden. Da sie sehr aneinander hängen, werden Gurke und Gin nur gemeinsam vermittelt. Wenn sie sich eingewöhnt haben und genug Vertrauen gefasst haben, wünschen sie sich Freigang in verkehrsberuhigter Gegend.

About Gurke und Gin

What life with Gurke und Gin looks like

Gurke und Gin is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Tauberbischofsheim und Umgebung e.V. in Würzburg.

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 Gurke und Gin, answered.

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