Larry und Pinky

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Two little cats - together looking for their forever home! Larry: black, male, born 06/01/26 Pinky: red, male, born 05/13/26 Our two little kittens are typical curious and playful kittens who want to discover the world. They are affectionate and seek contact with people. At the same time, they naturally need a lot of time to play, romp, cuddle and learn. Since the two are not only congeners, but also very young, we wish for them a home where they can grow up together. Why don't we mediate kittens alone? Cats, contrary to popular belief, are not loners who can basically live without problems. Especially kittens need contact with a suitable congeners to develop social behavior, play with each other and learn important boundaries. A human can not completely replace a cat companion: When playing, fighting and mutual grooming together, kittens learn to use their body language naturally and respect each other's boundaries. They can also live out their excess energy together. That's why we generally don't mediate our kittens in single holding. We prefer to give siblings away together, as they are already familiar with each other and give each other security. So the little ones don't have to be separated and can start their new life together. If you are interested in one of our animals, please send us an e-mail with the completed interest advance application or contact us via our contact form. Please be sure to include a callback number.

Zwei kleine Kater – gemeinsam auf der Suche nach ihrem Für-immer-Zuhause! Larry: schwarz, männlich, geb. 01.06.26 Pinky: getigert, männlich, geb. 13.05.26 Unsere beiden kleinen Katerchen sind typische neugierige und verspielte Kitten, die die Welt entdecken möchten. Sie sind zutraulich und suchen den Kontakt zu Menschen. Gleichzeitig brauchen sie natürlich noch viel Zeit zum Spielen, Toben, Kuscheln und Lernen. Da die beiden nicht nur Artgenossen, sondern auch noch sehr jung sind, wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause, in dem sie gemeinsam aufwachsen dürfen. Warum vermitteln wir Kitten nicht alleine? Katzen sind entgegen der weit verbreiteten Annahme keine Einzelgänger, die grundsätzlich problemlos alleine leben können. Gerade Kitten benötigen den Kontakt zu einem passenden Artgenossen, um Sozialverhalten zu entwickeln, miteinander zu spielen und wichtige Grenzen zu lernen. Ein Mensch kann einen Katzenkumpel nicht vollständig ersetzen: Beim gemeinsamen Toben, Raufen und gegenseitigen Putzen lernen Kitten auf natürliche Weise, ihre Körpersprache einzusetzen und die Grenzen des anderen zu respektieren. Auch überschüssige Energie können sie miteinander ausleben. Deshalb vermitteln wir unsere Kitten grundsätzlich nicht in Einzelhaltung. Am liebsten geben wir Geschwister gemeinsam ab, da sie bereits miteinander vertraut sind und sich gegenseitig Sicherheit geben. So müssen die Kleinen nicht voneinander getrennt werden und können gemeinsam in ihr neues Leben starten. Senden Sie uns bei konkretem Interesse an einem unserer Tiere eine E-Mail mit der vollständig ausgefüllten Interessentenvoranfrage an oder kontaktieren Sie uns bei Fragen über unser Kontaktformular.

About Larry und Pinky

What life with Larry und Pinky looks like

Larry und Pinky is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Oelzschau in Oelzschau.

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 Larry und Pinky, answered.

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