Helia & Samiya

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Helia & Samiya Race: EKH Gender: Female/Neutered Color: Cream red white & tricolor Age: 2-3 years Compatible with: Conspecifics, dogs Helia and Samiya came to the association as found animals. Unfortunately, it is assumed that someone disposed of Helia (cream red) and Samiya (tricolor) in a simple and cowardly manner! Fortunately, they were found, because their condition was more than shocking. Helia had a severely inflamed eye, which turned out to be blind and leaky at the vet. Probably she had a blow to the head. Samiya also did not do well, she breathed hard and had difficulty breathing. Both were severely underweight, unkempt and incredibly hungry. In addition, Helia was visibly pregnant and Samiya could be sensed that she was hiding a little secret. In the meantime, some weeks have passed... Helia was operated on the eye, she is now a little pirate lady, both were neutered and the teeth of both are still being rehabilitated. In Samiya, it has been revealed after a long period of treatment that she has scarring on the lungs, which will not disappear. She must have had pneumonia in the past, which was never treated. Samiya copes well with it, one hardly notices it. Only when she is stressed, she becomes short of breath. And in between, they have still mastered their pregnancies and brought two charming, proper litters into the world and raised them. The kids are now out of the house and Helia and Samiya can only focus on themselves and dream of maybe finally getting a really great home in their lives. A home where they are treated with love, where they are cherished family members and not just garbage that is thrown away like trash on the side of the road. Helia and Samiya are so special, even if they are not perfect in appearance, they shine all the more with their nature and their loving character. Wanted home: For Helia and Samiya we are looking for a home in apartment keeping, preferably with a secured balcony. Contact: If you would like to get to know Helia and Samiya, please contact the foster family Fam. Stoll.

viel erlebt und nie angekommen Status: offen Name: Helia & Samiya Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Farbe: creme rot weiß & tricolor Alter: 2-3 Jahre Verträglich mit: Artgenossen, Hunden Helia und Samiya kamen als Fundtiere in bemitleidenswertem Zustand in den Verein…. Leider ist davon auszugehen, das sich jemand Helia (creme rot) und Samiya (tricolor) auf einfache und feige Weise entledigt hat! Zum Glück wurden sie gefunden, denn ihr Zustand war mehr als erschütternd. Helia hatte ein schwer entzündetes Auge, welches sich beim Tierarzt als blind und ausgelaufen herausstelle. Vermutlich hatte sie mal eine Schlag vor den Kopf bekommen. Auch Samiya ging es nicht gut, sie atmete schwer und bekam schlecht Luft. Beide waren stark abgemagert, ungepflegt und wahnsinnig hungrig. Hinzu kam noch das Helia sichtbar hochträchtig war und auch bei Samiya konnte man erahnen, das sie ein kleines Geheimnis hütete. In der Zwischenzeit sind einige Monate vergangen… Helia wurde am Auge operiert, sie ist jetzt eine kleine Piratenlady. Beide wurden kastriert und bei der Zahnsanierung wurden bei Beiden die Zähne gezogen. Bei Samiya hat sich nach langer Behandlungszeit herausgestellt das sie Vernarbungen auf der Lunge hat und Fiv positiv ist. Sie muss in der Vergangenheit eine Lungenentzündung gehabt haben, welche nie behandelt wurde. Samiya kommt damit gut zurecht, man merkt es ihr kaum an. Nur wenn sie Stress hat, wird sie kurzatmiger und röchelt etwas. Sollten bei Samiya noch Untersuchungen oder Behandlungen wegen ihrer Lunge notwendig werden, werden diese vom Tierschutzverein in Zukunft übernommen. Helia und Samiya träumen nun davon endlich mal in ihrem Leben ein richtig tolles, liebevolles Zuhause zu bekommen. Ein Zuhause in dem liebevoll mit ihnen umgegangen wird, indem sie geschätzte Familienmitglieder sind und keine Störfaktoren die man einfach wie Müll an den Straßenrand schmeißt entsorgt und weiter fährt. Helia und Samiya sind so besonders, auch wenn sie optisch nicht perfekt sind strahlen sie durch ihr Wesen und ihren liebevollen Charakter umso mehr. Wunschzuhause: Für Helia und Samiya suchen wir ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, gerne mit gesichertem Balkon. Kontakt: Wenn sie Helia und Samiya gerne einmal kennen lernen möchten, melden Sie sich gerne bei der Pflegestelle Fam. Stoll

About Helia & Samiya

What life with Helia & Samiya looks like

Helia & Samiya is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Helia & Samiya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Helia & Samiya?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Helia & Samiya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Helia & Samiya if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Helia & Samiya 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 Helia & Samiya 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Helia & Samiya 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.
