Katzenkinder

Mixed Breed · Male

The black kittens came to us as found animals, the striped ones were surrendered. The little ones were in our quarantine station longer, but now they are finally lively, playful, vaccinated and "ready to go". As you can imagine, such youngsters need a lot of attention - not just from cat buddies (we only place the little ones together in pairs), but also from human companionship. The little ones are absolutely enchanting, but like little children everywhere at the same time and nowhere. So you should bring a good sense of humor and be prepared for the possibility that something can break. We wish the kittens a beautiful home with people who have a lot of time and space, either in apartment living with a secured balcony or with later outdoor access in a traffic-calmed area. Write us an extensive email if you are interested in the kittens.

Die schwarzen Katzenkinder kamen als Fundtiere zu uns, die getigerten waren Abgaben. Die Kleinen waren länger in unserer Quarantänestation, aber jetzt sind sie endlich munter, fidel, geimpft und „ready to go”. Wie Sie sich vorstellen können, brauchen solche Jungspunde viel Beschäftigung – nicht nur durch Katzenkumpels (wir vermitteln die Kleinen NUR im Doppelpack miteinander), sondern auch durch menschliche Gesellschaft. Die Kleinen sind absolut zauberhaft, aber wie kleine Kinder auch überall gleichzeitig und nirgends. Man sollte also einen guten Humor mitbringen und sich darauf einstellen, dass mal etwas zu Bruch gehen kann. Wir wünschen uns für die Katzenkinder ein wunderschönes Zuhause bei Menschen, die viel Zeit und Platz haben, entweder in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon oder mit späterem Freigang in einer verkehrsberuhigten Gegend. Schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche E-Mail, wenn Sie sich für die Katzenkinder interessieren.

About Katzenkinder

What life with Katzenkinder looks like

Katzenkinder is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

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. 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 Katzenkinder, answered.

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