Adopt Livy und Suri

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Livy (black-and-white) and Suri (black) were caught as kittens of a feral mother at a feeding station and brought to us. We do not know what they have experienced or how long they had to fend for themselves outdoors, but they are still very mistrustful and reserved around people and prefer to stay hidden. Nevertheless, Suri already shows a great curiosity about everything that is going on. Both live in a larger group of cats with several age-mates at the animal shelter and would certainly not object to moving together with one of the other buddies there or to joining an already existing cat in a new home, from which they can observe over time that people can be trusted. However, they need people who can give them a lot of time and love and allow them to build trust at their own pace. After an appropriate settling-in period, the two pretty velvet paws should be given free rein if they want to. Where are the people with patience and time who have been waiting for challenges like Livy or Suri?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Livy (schwarz-weiß) und Suri (schwarz) wurden an einer Futterstelle als Kitten einer verwilderten Mutter eingefangen und zu uns gebracht. Wir wissen nicht, was sie erlebt haben oder wie lange sie sich draußen durchschlagen mussten, aber sie sind Menschen gegenüber noch sehr misstrauisch und zurückhaltend und bleiben am liebsten in Deckung. Nichtsdestotrotz zeigt vor allem Suri schon jetzt ihre Neugier an allem, was vor sich geht. Beide leben in einer größeren Katzengruppe mit mehreren Gleichaltrigen im Tierheim und hätten sicherlich nichts dagegen, zusammen mit einem bzw. einer der dortigen Kumpel oder zu einer bereits vorhandenen Katze im neuen Zuhause zu ziehen, von der sie sich mit der Zeit abschauen können, dass man Menschen auch vertrauen kann. Sie brauchen jedoch unbedingt Menschen, die ihnen viel Zeit und Liebe schenken und sie in ihrem Tempo Vertrauen aufbauen lassen. Nach entsprechender Eingewöhnungszeit sollten den beiden hübschen Samtpfoten Freigang bekommen, wenn sie das möchten. Wo sind die Menschen mit Geduld und Zeit, die nur auf Herausforderungen wie Livy oder Suri gewartet haben?

About Livy und Suri

What life with Livy und Suri looks like

Livy und Suri is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken in Saarbrücken.

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 Livy und Suri, answered.

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