Penelope & Hamlet (Wohnungskatzen), auch Pflegestelle gesucht

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Hamlet and Penelope are two five-year-old housecats who have lost their homes for private reasons. Now, they wish for a quiet place full of affection where they can settle in. Both are exceptionally cuddly, very people-oriented, and simply heartwarming. They enjoy proximity, soft voices, and cuddle times, making them a perfect fit for a quiet household without small children (starting around age 10). The home should be spacious (at least 70qm) and a balcony would be lovely for the two of them. Penelope has an eosinophilic granuloma that is currently managed with medication, which she takes once daily and tolerates well. She also eats sensitive food, which she handles well – this is easily manageable in everyday life. Hamlet is a smusher but also a fighter. During the medical intake check, it was decided that he needed a major operation because his teeth were severely abscessed and he must have experienced significant pain. He has handled the massive procedure incredibly well, and the relief was clearly noticeable: Hamlet shows extra clingy and grateful behavior today, as if he knows he was helped. He is a brave, gentle tomcat with a big heart. Due to the current need for special food, the two are currently kept separate.

Hamlet und Penelope sind zwei fünfjährige Wohnungskatzen, die aus privaten Gründen ihr Zuhause verloren haben. Umso mehr wünschen sie sich nun einen Ort, an dem sie ankommen dürfen – ruhig und voller Zuwendung. Beide sind ausgesprochen verschmust, sehr menschenbezogen und einfach herzig. Sie genießen Nähe, leise Stimmen und gemeinsame Kuschelzeiten und passen daher besonders gut in einen ruhigen Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder (ab etwa 10 Jahren). Die Wohnung sollte ausreichend groß sein (mind. 70qm) und ein Balkon wäre schön für die Zwei. Penelope hat ein eosinophiles Granulom, das aktuell problemlos medikamentös behandelt wird. Ihre offenen Stellen sind sehr gut abgeheilt. Sie bekommt einmal täglich ihr Medikament und verträgt es sehr gut. Zusätzlich erhält sie Sensitive-Futter, mit dem sie bestens zurechtkommt – im Alltag ist das gut handhabbar. Hamlet ist ein Schmuser, aber auch ein Kämpfer. Beim medizinischen Eingangscheck wurde entschieden, dass er notoperiert werden muss, da seine Zähne stark vereitert waren und er erhebliche Schmerzen gehabt haben muss. Er hat den massiven Eingriff super überstanden und die Erleichterung danach war deutlich spürbar: Hamlet zeigt sich heute besonders anhänglich und dankbar, als wüsste er genau, dass ihm geholfen wurde. Er ist ein tapferer, sanfter Kater mit großem Herz. Aufgrund des aktuell notwendigen Spezialfutters werden die beiden momentan separiert gehalten. Daher suchen wir auch gerne zunächst eine liebevolle Pflegestelle, idealerweise bis zur endgültigen
