How do I contact the shelter about Lenny & Steppel?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lenny & Steppel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lenny & Steppel if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 Lenny & Steppel 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 Lenny & Steppel 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 Berlin Falkenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lenny & Steppel 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.

Lenny & Steppel

European Shorthair · Male

We are Lenny and Steppel, an experienced tomcat duo, looking for a home with a garden/freedom to roam. This is us: We were both found and have become friends here at the animal shelter. Initially, we are still quite timid and jumpy around people, but with lots of patience and treats, we are very "bribeable." I, Lenny (black and white), have a slight silvery sheen, am curious and playful, and come out of my shell more when you give me enough time. With trust, I can be petted and enjoy the company of my animal caretakers very much. Steppel also likes to be petted when he has trust – he just needs a little more time, but that will come. 🙂 Here at the animal shelter, we live in the cat freigehege. We very much appreciate a loving, warm home and spend more time with the animal caretakers when they, for example, clean here. My best friend here at the animal shelter is Steppel, and I would love to move out together with him. We both do well and make a great team. We wish for a loving, patient home (house with a garden). Small children should not live there. If you give us enough time to settle in, we will make wonderful roommates. This cat needs outdoor access.

Wir sind Lenny und Steppel ein eingespieltes Kater-Duo, das gemeinsam ein Zuhause sucht mit Garten/Freigang sucht Das sind wir: Wir wurden beide gefunden und haben uns hier im Tierheim angefreundet. Menschen gegenüber sind wir anfangs noch recht ängstlich und schreckhaft – aber mit viel Geduld und Leckerchen sind wir gut „bestechbar“. Ich, Lenny (schwarz-weiß) habe einen leichten Silberblick, bin neugierig und verspielt und komme immer mehr aus mir raus, wenn du mir genügend Zeit gibst. Bei Vertrauen lasse ich mich streicheln und genieße die Gesellschaft meiner Tierpflegerinnen sehr. Auch Steppel lässt sich gern streicheln, wenn er Vertrauen hat – er braucht halt einfach auch ein bisschen Zeit, aber das wird schon. 🙂 Hier im Tierheim leben wir im Katzenfreigehege. Ein liebevolles, warmes Zuhause wissen wir sehr zu schätzen und halten uns auch immer mehr bei den Tierpflegerinnen auf, wenn sie zum Beispiel hier putzen. Mein bester Freund hier im Tierheim ist Steppel und ich möchte so gern gemeinsam mit ihm ausziehen. Wir tun uns beide gut und sind ein tolles Team. Wir wünschen uns ein liebevolles, geduldiges Zuhause (Haus mit Garten). Kleinkinder sollten dort nicht leben. Wenn du uns genug Zeit zum Ankommen gibst, werden wir ganz tolle Mitbewohner.
