Adopt Poppy & Pixie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

These two approximately 2-year-old girls of the breed "Russenkaninchen" were kept in a dark, dirty stable. Poppy & Pixie and Poppy & Pixie were initially very scared and did not dare to enter the enclosure in our foster home. They were also completely unfamiliar with green food. Poppy & Pixie had a bald spot on her back due to malnutrition, but it is now slowly growing back. There is a bump on her nose, likely an untreated bite wound. Poppy & Pixie is the more curious and brave one of the two and will sometimes sniff at your hand. Poppy & Pixie prefers to wait in the background and lets Poppy & Pixie go first. The two are very attached to each other and should therefore only be rehomed together. We welcome inquiries at our shelter. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

Diese beiden etwa 2 jährigen Mädels der Rasse „Russenkaninchen“ wurden in einem dunklen, verdreckten Stall gehalten. Pixie und Poppy waren am Anfang total ängstlich und trauten sich auf unserer Pflegestelle nicht ins Gehege. Auch Grünfutter war ihnen gänzlich unbekannt. Pixie hatte wohl durch die Mangelernährung eine kahle Stelle am Rücken, die jetzt aber langsam wieder zuwächst. An der Nase sieht man einen Knubbel – vermutlich eine nicht behandelte Bissverletzung. Pixie ist die Neugierigere und Mutigere der beiden und schnuppert schon mal an der Hand. Poppy wartet lieber im Hintergrund ab und schickt Pixie vor. Beide hängen sehr aneinander und sollen daher nur zusammen vermittelt werden. Anfragen nehmen wir gerne unter entgegen.

About Poppy & Pixie

What life with Poppy & Pixie looks like

Poppy & Pixie is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Weidenberg und Umgebung e.V. in Germany.

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 Poppy & Pixie, answered.

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