European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

This colorful group came to our shelter without their mother in mid-June. Madita, Sontje, Fritz and Ernie have developed well and are all fit and very lively. They were estimated to be born in early May and all four are now very open to people and often seek physical contact. Interested parties for the gang can contact Family Hering directly to arrange an introductory appointment. Please understand that we do not place our kittens in single housing.

About Madita, Sontje, Fritz & Ernie

What life with Madita, Sontje, Fritz & Ernie looks like

Madita, Sontje, Fritz & Ernie is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Madita, Sontje, Fritz & Ernie, answered.

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