How do I contact the shelter about Irmchen und Allie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Irmchen und Allie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Irmchen und Allie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Verein der Katzenfreunde 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 Irmchen und Allie 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 Irmchen und Allie 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 Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Irmchen und Allie 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.

Irmchen und Allie

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

Allie and Irmchen are two charming gentlemen with perhaps the most unusual cat names. They are both male, tiger-striped and white, and are looking for a home in a flat. You read that right: Allie and Irmchen are actually cats. Initially, they were thought to be female cats - the names have stuck, and now they wear them with the composure of true gentlemen. The two seniors (10+) have already had their dental treatment, their blood test was unremarkable, and they are fit for their age. What they value most today? A cozy spot, good food, and people who give them time. Irmchen has long since declared petting his favorite hobby and enjoys every loving attention. Allie is initially a bit more reserved, prefers to observe from a safe distance first. However, once you have gained his trust, he also shows himself to be a gentle and loving cat. He probably just needs a person with whom he can arrive at his own pace. We wish for the two a quiet home where they can enjoy their well-deserved senior life, preferably in flat-based housing with secured outdoor access or possibly with outdoor access in a low-traffic, quiet residential area. If you want to lose your heart to two charming gentlemen with perhaps the most unusual cat names, you should definitely get to know Allie and Irmchen. Sometimes it is precisely these small peculiarities that make them unforgettable. ❤️ If you want to meet the two cats with the cat names, please make an appointment in advance. Email:

Geschlecht: beide männlich Farbe/Fell: getigert weiß Gesuchte Haltungsform: Wohnung Ja, ihr habt richtig gelesen: Allie und Irmchen sind tatsächlich Kater. Anfangs hielt man die beiden für Katzen – die Namen sind geblieben, und inzwischen tragen sie sie mit der Gelassenheit echter Gentlemen. Die beiden Senioren (10+) haben ihre Zahnsanierung bereits hinter sich, das Blutbild war unauffällig und sie sind für ihr Alter fit. Was sie heute am meisten schätzen? Ein gemütliches Plätzchen, gutes Futter und Menschen, die ihnen Zeit schenken. Irmchen hat Streicheleinheiten längst zu seinem Lieblingshobby erklärt und genießt jede liebevolle Aufmerksamkeit. Allie ist zunächst etwas zurückhaltender, beobachtet lieber erst einmal aus sicherer Entfernung. Hat man jedoch sein Vertrauen gewonnen, zeigt sich auch er als sanfter und lieber Kater. Er braucht vermutlich einfach einen Menschen, bei dem er in seinem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf. Für die beiden wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sie ihren wohlverdienten Seniorenalltag genießen können, gerne in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Freigang oder ggf. mit Freigang in einer verkehrsarmen, ruhigen Wohngegend. Wer sein Herz an zwei charmante Herren mit den vielleicht ungewöhnlichsten Katernamen überhaupt verlieren möchte, sollte Allie und Irmchen unbedingt kennenlernen. Manchmal sind es eben genau die kleinen Besonderheiten, die einen unvergesslich machen. ❤️ Wer die beiden Kater mit den Katzennamen kennenlernen möchte, vereinbart bitte vorab einen Termin. E-Mail:
