Püppi & Sweety

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 10 years

Püppi and Sweety, born around 2016, originally came from a colony of stray cats near a Harzer hotel. For a long time, they were fed by hotel guests – until their numbers grew and help became necessary. The Fur Emergency organized a large spay/neuter event and set up a controlled feeding station. Some of the cats became more tame over time – just like Püppi and Sweety. Püppi is the more courageous of the two female cats. She meets people with cautious curiosity and gains trust relatively quickly. Sweety, on the other hand, needs a bit more time to warm up, but then she is also gentle and affectionate. Both are quiet, social animals with a close bond to each other and therefore can only be rehomed together. Important: Püppi and Sweety are outdoor cats and should also have access to the outdoors in their new home – ideally in a quiet, safe environment. A garden where they can enjoy nature and retreat would be perfect. We are looking for a understanding home with patient people who are happy about small progress and show these two special cats what a safe, loving home can be like.

Püppi und Sweety, geboren ca. 2016, stammen ursprünglich aus einer Streunerkolonie in der Nähe eines Harzer Hotels. Dort wurden sie über längere Zeit von Hotelgästen gefüttert – bis ihre Zahl wuchs und Hilfe notwendig wurde. Die Fellnothilfe organisierte eine großangelegte Kastrationsaktion und richtete eine kontrollierte Futterstelle ein. Einige der Katzen wurden mit der Zeit zutraulicher – so wie Püppi und Sweety. Püppi ist die mutigere der beiden Katzendamen. Sie begegnet Menschen mit vorsichtiger Neugier und fasst relativ schnell Vertrauen. Sweety hingegen braucht etwas mehr Zeit, um aufzutauen, zeigt sich dann aber ebenfalls sanft und liebevoll. Beide sind ruhige, soziale Tiere, die eine enge Bindung zueinander haben und deshalb nur gemeinsam vermittelt werden. Wichtig: Püppi und Sweety sind Freigänger und sollten auch in ihrem neuen Zuhause wieder Zugang nach draußen bekommen – idealerweise in eine ruhige, sichere Umgebung. Ein Garten, in dem sie die Natur genießen und sich zurückziehen können, wäre perfekt. Für die beiden suchen wir ein verständnisvolles Zuhause bei geduldigen Menschen, die sich über kleine Fortschritte freuen und diesen zwei besonderen Katzen zeigen, wie schön ein sicheres, liebevolles Zuhause sein kann.

About Püppi & Sweety

What life with Püppi & Sweety looks like

Püppi & Sweety is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Quedlinburg 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 Püppi & Sweety, answered.

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