Adopt O´Malley & Philipp

Mixed Breed · Male

What could be better than a crazy tomcat? …Two crazy tomcats? Well, that's a matter of humor and endurance 🙈🤣 For a while, our O'Malley (red) was considered one of the most difficult cats in the shelter. Completely wired, he bit people, couldn't socialize with other cats, and "marked" his space…We of course didn't leave it like that and he was trained and the underlying causes were researched. Now we are extremely proud of the stylish guy! – The "marking" was due to a bladder infection, which has healed, and now he's house-trained! – We found a fellow animal that matches with his energy and physique 💪 – Since he has his buddy Philipp to wrestle with, O'Malley is much more balanced and no longer vents his frustration on people 🥳 Philipp is no less characteristically energetic than O'Malley. He even has even more wrestling energy ;-). But because they now wrestle together, both can now enjoy cuddles. Therefore, we are looking for a home for O'Malley AND Philipp TOGETHER! They require unrestricted access! And people who can take the two troublemakers with a sense of humor. They are crazy and a bit "above it all." It can always happen that they want to wrestle with people out of mischief…Therefore, there should be no small children in the house! Who wants to adopt a fun, dynamic duo?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Was ist besser als ein verrückter Kater? … Zwei verrückte Kater….? Tja, das ist wohl eine Frage des Humors und der Leidensfähigkeit 🙈🤣 Einige Zeit galt unser O’Malley (rot) als einer der schwierigsten Katzen im Katzenhaus. Völlig unter Strom, griff beißend den Menschen an, war nicht mit anderen Katzen zu vergesellschaften und „markierte“ in seinem Raum…Das lassen wir natürlich nicht so stehen und es wurde trainiert und Ursachenforschung betrieben. Jetzt sind wir extrem stolz auf den schicken Typen! – Das „markieren“ war einer Blasenentzündung geschuldet, die ist auskuriert und nun ist er stubenrein! – Wir haben einen Artgenossen gefunden, der mit seiner Energie und Körperlichkeit zusammen passt 💪 – seit er seinen Kumpel Philipp zum Raufen hat, ist O’Malley deutlich ausgeglichener und lässt den Frust nicht mehr am Menschen aus 🥳 Philipp steht O’Malley charakterlich in nichts nach. Er hat sogar noch mehr Rauferenergie ;-) Aber dadurch, dass sie nun miteinander raufen, können beide Streicheleinheiten mittlerweile genießen. Daher suchen wir nun ein Zuhause für O’Malley UND Philipp GEMEINSAM! Sie benötigen zwingend Freigang! Und Leute, die die beiden Chaoten mit Humor nehmen. Sie sind verrückt und etwas „drüber“. Es kann immer passieren, dass sie aus Übermut auch mit dem Menschen raufen wollen… Daher sollten keine kleinen Kinder mit im Haus leben! Wer hat Lust auf ein lustiges, dynamisches Duo?

About O´Malley & Philipp

What life with O´Malley & Philipp looks like

O´Malley & Philipp is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

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 O´Malley & Philipp, answered.

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