Phineas & Ferb

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 8 years

Phineas & Ferb – two special cats looking for their home together ❤️ Sometimes it takes a little longer for a home to wait for the very special cats. For Phineas and Ferb, it took a very long time – now their time has finally come. Phineas and Ferb came together from a hoarder household. They had to wait a long time for their situation to be resolved and finally get the chance to have their own home. Now they are released – and we wish for the two very special cats people who will show them that their previous life is not the end of their story. 🐾 Phineas – the little fighter without eyes Phineas, born around 2018, is a dear but initially very cautious cat. Touching makes him afraid and he needs the corresponding time and trust to get close to a person. Phineas was born without eyes. The eye structures were eventually completely removed surgically. What sounds like a big limitation to us is everyday life for Phineas: He copes surprisingly well with his blindness. He orients himself in his familiar environment and does not let his handicap stop him from enjoying his cat life. For Phineas, we wish for people with patience and understanding who give him the time he needs. He does not have to become a cuddly cat overnight – it is much more important that he can build trust at his own pace. 🐾 Ferb – the calm cuddly cat Ferb, born around 2014, is the more open-minded partner of the duo. He is sweet, calm, affectionate and attached and enjoys the closeness to his people. Ferb is missing his left front leg, which had to be surgically removed due to his history and a misalignment after an earlier operation. But even here, Ferb is not defeated. He copes very well with his three legs and has learned to live with it.

Phineas & Ferb – zwei besondere Kater suchen gemeinsam ihr Zuhause ❤️ Manchmal braucht es ein bisschen länger, bis ein Zuhause auf die ganz besonderen Katzen wartet. Für Phineas und Ferb hat es sehr lange gedauert – nun ist endlich ihre Zeit gekommen. Phineas und Ferb kamen gemeinsam aus einem Messihaushalt zu uns. Lange mussten sie darauf warten, dass ihre Situation geklärt wurde und sie endlich die Chance auf ein eigenes Zuhause bekommen. Nun sind sie freigegeben – und wir wünschen uns für die beiden ganz besonderen Kater Menschen, die ihnen zeigen, dass ihr bisheriges Leben nicht das Ende ihrer Geschichte sein muss. 🐾 Phineas – der kleine Kämpfer ohne Augen Phineas, geboren etwa 2018, ist ein lieber, aber zunächst sehr vorsichtiger Kater. Berührungen machen ihm Angst und er braucht entsprechend Zeit und Vertrauen, um sich auf einen Menschen einzulassen. Phineas wurde ohne Augen geboren. Die Augenanlagen wurden bei uns schließlich operativ vollständig entfernt. Was für uns zunächst nach einer großen Einschränkung klingt, ist für Phineas längst Alltag: Er kommt mit seiner Blindheit erstaunlich gut zurecht. Er orientiert sich in seiner vertrauten Umgebung und lässt sich von seinem Handicap nicht davon abhalten, sein Katzenleben zu genießen. Für Phineas wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Geduld und Verständnis, die ihm die Zeit geben, die er braucht. Er muss nicht von heute auf morgen ein Schmusekater werden – viel wichtiger ist, dass er in seinem eigenen Tempo Vertrauen aufbauen darf. 🐾 Ferb – der ruhige Schmusekater Ferb, geboren etwa 2014, ist der deutlich aufgeschlossenere Part des Duos. Er ist lieb, ruhig, verschmust und anhänglich und genießt die Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Ferb fehlt das linke Vorderbein, das aufgrund seiner Vorgeschichte und einer Fehlstellung nach einer früheren Operation schließlich operativ entfernt werden musste. Doch auch hier gilt: Ferb lässt sich davon nicht unterkriegen. Er kommt mit seinen drei Beinen sehr gut zurecht und hat gelernt, sein

About Phineas & Ferb

What life with Phineas & Ferb looks like

Phineas & Ferb is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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 Phineas & Ferb, answered.

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