Mate & Sesam

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 1 year

tomcat Mate (orange, born 09.09.2024, neutered) was found as a kitten in the woods. He is incredibly open and friendly towards all people, extremely cuddly, and loves to play, preferring to sleep under a blanket. Cat Sesam (black, born 15.05.2024, neutered) is initially a bit shy but blossoms once she feels at home. She enjoys playing with water and has a favorite toy that she doesn't share with anyone. Additionally, she has a favorite person who must spoil her with plenty of cuddles. Mate and Sesam are pure indoor cats and have experience with dish and linen training. Mate enjoys small adventures, but Sesam is not suitable for walks. Both are uncomplicated eaters, with no known allergies or issues. The two can only be rehomed together. Who has a large dog bed available?

Kater Mate (orange, geb. 09.09.2024, kastriert) wurde als Kitten im Wald gefunden. Er ist unheimlich aufgeschlossen gegenüber allen Menschen, extrem verschmust, verspielt und schläft am liebsten mit unter einer Decke. Katze Sesam (schwarz, geb. 15.05.2024, kastriert) ist anfangs etwas schüchtert, blüht aber auf, sobald sie sich zu Hause fühlt. Sie spielt gerne mit Wasser und hat oft ein festes Lieblingsspielzeug, das sie dann mit niemandem teilt. Außerdem hat sie einen Lieblingsmenschen, der Sesam dann mit ausreichenden Streicheleinheiten verwöhnen muss. Mate und Sesam sind reine Wohnungskatzen und haben bereits Erfahrung mit Geschirr- und Leinentraining. Mate machen kleine Abenteuer durchaus Spaß, Sesam hingegen ist nicht für Spaziergänge zu haben. Beide sind unkomplizierte Esser, es sind keine Unverträglichkeiten o. ä. bekannt. Die Beiden werden nur gemeinsam vermittelt. Wer hat ein großes Körbchen frei?

About Mate & Sesam

What life with Mate & Sesam looks like

Mate & Sesam is a large young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Dresden in Dresden.

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 Mate & Sesam, answered.

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