How do I contact the shelter about Loui & Malou?

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

Can I adopt Loui & Malou if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhilfe Karlsruhe 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 Loui & Malou 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 Loui & Malou 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 Katzenhilfe Karlsruhe e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Loui & Malou and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Loui & Malou

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Some friendships are something very special – like the one between Loui and Malou. The two tomcats have grown up together and have been going through life side by side for many years. That’s why we wish for them a home where they can continue to stay together. The striped Loui is 6 years old, his friend Malou, the beautiful white tomcat, is 5 years old. Both are very affectionate and gentle BKH-tomcats who enjoy the company of their people and quickly win hearts with their calm nature. Just like they love to snuggle, they also enjoy being out and about, as they have been used to doing. Therefore, Loui and Malou are looking for a home with a garden in a quiet neighborhood where they can safely make their little explorations. For the two, we wish for people with hearts who will give them a quiet, loving forever home and show them that their journey together will continue. If you would like to give this loving pair a loving home or have any further questions, please contact Mrs. Schmitz. This cat needs outdoor access.

Manche Freundschaften sind etwas ganz Besonderes – so wie die von Loui und Malou. Die beiden Kater sind zusammen aufgewachsen und gehen seit vielen Jahren gemeinsam durchs Leben. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie auch ein Zuhause, in dem sie weiterhin zusammenbleiben dürfen. Der getigerte Loui ist 6 Jahre alt, sein Freund Malou, der wunderschöne weiße Kater, ist 5 Jahre alt. Beide sind sehr liebevolle und sanfte BKH-Kater, die die Nähe zu ihren Menschen genießen und mit ihrem ruhigen Wesen schnell die Herzen erobern. Genauso gerne wie sie kuscheln, genießen sie es aber auch, draußen unterwegs zu sein, so wie sie es bislang gewohnt waren. Deshalb suchen Loui und Malou ein Zuhause mit Freigang in einer verkehrsarmen Wohngegend, in der sie sicher ihre kleinen Entdeckungstouren machen können. Für die beiden wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Herz, die ihnen ein ruhiges, liebevolles Für-immer-Zuhause schenken und ihnen zeigen, dass ihr gemeinsamer Weg noch lange weitergeht. Wer dem lieben Paar ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchte oder bei weiteren Fragen, bitte Frau Schmitz kontaktieren.
