How do I contact the shelter about Karlchen & Bubi?

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

Can I adopt Karlchen & Bubi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Artgerecht Tierschutz 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 Karlchen & Bubi 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 Karlchen & Bubi 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 Artgerecht Tierschutz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Karlchen & Bubi 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.

Karlchen & Bubi

Male · Adult · 4 years

Karlchen and Bubi – two brothers who have spent their entire lives side by side and are now looking for a forever home together. The two were caught along with their mother Nala and their siblings at a feeding station. Since then, they have been in our care and long for a home where they can find love and security. Karlchen is a friendly, lively tomcat full of joie de vivre. He approaches people openly and curiously, but can sometimes be a bit picky about his food. Bubi is the calmer of the two. He loves good food, long cuddle sessions, and usually observes things calmly from the sidelines. Together, the brothers complement each other perfectly – Karlchen brings energy, while Bubi brings calm. Both have tested positive for feline coronavirus (FCoV) in their blood. They are healthy, do not need medication, and are very comfortable in an apartment. Since they shed the virus, they cannot be rehomed with FCoV-negative cats. Additionally, Karlchen has tested positive for FIV, while Bubi is FIV-negative. The two are very attached to each other and will only be rehomed together. Karlchen and Bubi wish for a loving home with space, cozy resting spots, and climbing opportunities – a secure balcony would be the cherry on top. They have been waiting far too long to be discovered. We want to spare our animals long journeys and hope for inquiries within a 100-kilometer radius. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Karlchen und Bubi – zwei Brüder, die schon ihr ganzes Leben Seite an Seite verbringen und nun gemeinsam ihr Für-immer-Zuhause suchen. Die beiden wurden zusammen mit ihrer Mutter Nala und ihren Geschwistern an einer Futterstelle eingefangen. Seitdem leben sie in unserer Obhut und wünschen sich endlich ein Zuhause, in dem sie Liebe und Geborgenheit finden dürfen. Karlchen ist ein freundlicher, aufgeweckter Kater mit viel Lebensfreude. Menschen begegnet er offen und neugierig, beim Futter zeigt er sich manchmal etwas wählerisch. Bubi ist der ruhigere von beiden. Er liebt gutes Essen, ausgiebige Kuschelstunden und beobachtet das Geschehen meist gelassen aus der zweiten Reihe. Gemeinsam ergänzen sich die Brüder perfekt – Karlchen bringt Schwung, Bubi Ruhe. Bei beiden wurde das feline Coronavirus (FCoV) im Blut nachgewiesen. Sie sind gesund, brauchen keine Medikamente und fühlen sich in reiner Wohnungshaltung sehr wohl. Da sie das Virus ausscheiden, dürfen sie nicht zu FCoV-negativen Katzen vermittelt werden. Zusätzlich wurde bei Karlchen FiV festgestellt, Bubi ist FiV-negativ. Die beiden hängen sehr aneinander und werden nur gemeinsam vermittelt. Karlchen und Bubi wünschen sich ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Platz, gemütlichen Ruheplätzen und Klettermöglichkeiten – ein gesicherter Balkon wäre das i-Tüpfelchen. Sie warten schon viel zu lange darauf, endlich entdeckt zu werden. Wir möchten unseren Tieren lange Fahrstrecken ersparen und hoffen auf Anfragen im Umkreis von max. 100 Kilometern.
