Richy und Venu

Mixed Breed · Female

Richy was born in late May and was spayed/neutered as part of a spay/neuter campaign along with his siblings. Since then, he has developed wonderfully. Although he had no experience with people until a few weeks ago, he now shows how curious, playful and lovable he is. Richy is a very affectionate and cheerful little boy. His tiger-striped fur with a lot of white, the white ears and the small, adorable spot on his side make him a very special eye-catcher. But emotionally, Richy wraps his fingers around his finger in no time: He is usually the first to greet his people at the door, he enjoys caresses with loud purring and also likes to sit on his person's lap. He shows himself very quickly curious, cheerful and playful to visitors. Richy, however, especially likes to play with his little friend Venu, who is the same age. After they had thoroughly snarled at each other for a few days when Richy came to the existing pack. But the distrust is long since overcome and has developed into a beautiful friendship. Richy and Venu are one heart and one soul. Where one is, you can usually find the other. Sometimes you can hardly recognize where one stops and the other starts, for example, when they sleep tightly wrapped around each other or wrestle in a excitedly spinning ball after a wild chase. Richy and Venu would like to move to their new home together and play there - preferably together with their new heart people. In mid-June, the sweet little Venu was born with the inverted V on her forehead on a farm. However, the situation was dangerous for the little cat children there. Fortunately, Venu was able to move to a foster home quickly. Because she was so small, she immediately became tame and incredibly attached. Due to her exclusively good experiences with people, Venu trusts completely. The black-and-white girl is a cheerful and uncomplicated cat child. She immediately fit into the existing cat group and behaves very socially towards the other cats. Like most cat children, she loves to play, wrestle and engage in wild chases. She also enjoys cuddling with her foster mom. She also enjoys nibbling on her hands and playing with them. In the loving moments, she is gently licked. Initially, Venus "reference cat" was the slightly older Medi. However, this changed after the arrival of the same-aged Richy. The two have become inseparable quickly and would like to move to their new home together.

DE·Show original

Richy wurde Ende Mai geboren und zusammen mit seinen Geschwistern im Rahmen einer Kastrationsaktion gesichert. Seitdem hat er sich ganz wunderbar entwickelt. Obwohl er bis vor einigen Wochen noch keinerlei Erfahrung mit Menschen hatte, zeigt er mittlerweile längst, wie neugierig, verspielt und liebenswert er ist. Richy ist ein sehr zugewandter und fröhlicher kleiner Junge. Sein getigertes Fell mit viel Weiß, die weißen Öhrchen und der kleine, entzückende Punkt an seiner Seite machen ihn zu einem ganz besonderen Hingucker. Aber auch emotional wickelt Richy einen ruckzuck um den Finger: Meist ist er der Erste, der seine Menschen an der Tür begrüßt, er genießt Streicheleinheiten mit lautem Schnurren und sitzt auch gerne auf dem Schoß seiner Bezugspersonen. Besuchern gegenüber zeigt er sich sehr schnell neugierig, fröhlich und spielbereit. Besonders gerne spielt Richy jedoch mit seiner kleinen Freundin Venu, die im gleichen Alter ist. Nachdem sich die beiden ein paar Tage lang gründlich angefaucht haben, als Richy neu in das bereits bestehende Rudel gekommen ist. Das damalige Misstrauen ist aber längst überwunden und hat sich zu einer wunderschönen Freundschaft entwickelt. Richy und Venu sind ein Herz und eine Seele. Wo der eine ist, findet man in der Regel auch den anderen. Teilweise kann man kaum erkennen, wo der eine aufhört und der andere beginnt, zum Beispiel, wenn sie eng umschlungen schlafen oder sich in Form in einer aufgeregt drehenden Kugel nach einer wilden Verfolgungsjagd raufen. Gern würden Richy und Venu gemeinsam in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen und dort weiterspielen – am liebsten natürlich gemeinsam mit ihren neuen Herzensmenschen. Mitte Juni wurde die süße kleine Venu mit dem umgedrehten V auf der Stirn auf einem Bauernhof geboren. Dort war die Situation für die kleinen Katzenkinder jedoch gefährlich. Glücklicherweise konnte Venu deshalb schnell auf eine Pflegestelle ziehen. Da sie so klein war, wurde sie sofort zahm und unheimlich anhänglich. Aufgrund ihrer ausschließlich guten Erfahrungen mit Menschen vertraut Venu voll und ganz. Das schwarz-weiße Mädchen ist fröhliches und unkompliziertes Katzenkind. Sie hat sich sofort in die bestehende Katzengruppe eingefügt und verhält sich den anderen Katzen gegenüber sehr sozial. Wie die meisten Katzenkinder liebt sie es zu spielen, raufen und liefert sich wilde Verfolgungsjagden. Ebenso genießt sie es, mit ihrer Pflegemami zu schmusen. Weiterhin ist es ihr eine Freude, an deren Händen herumzuknabbern und mit ihnen zu spielen. In den liebvollen Momenten werden sie dagegen zart abgeschleckt. Zunächst war Venus „Bezugskatze“ die etwas ältere Medi. Nach dem Einzug des gleichaltrigen Richy hat sich das jedoch geändert. Die beiden sind schnell unzertrennlich geworden und würden gern gemeinsam in ihr neues Zuhause umziehen.

About Richy und Venu

What life with Richy und Venu looks like

Richy und Venu is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. in Ulm.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Richy und Venu, answered.

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