Rico + Findus

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Two tomcats, one heart – and a free spot on your couch! Rico and Findus – two charming furballs who met at their foster home and have been inseparable ever since. One could say: love at first whisker. We thought they had found their happy ending – but after three months it sadly turned out: "That didn't work out." Now the two are looking for a home where they can chill, play, and wrap their humans around their paws. Both are kind and friendly and enjoy being petted. Findus (red) is very adventurous and Rico is the calmer, more laid-back one. It would be important for both of them to have secure outdoor access or, in a quiet area, even real outdoor access, so they don't have to give up their mouse-hunting career. The caretaker says: "These two are simply treasures – loving, playful, and sometimes a bit cheeky. But that's exactly what makes them so lovable." Come to know these two treasures at our foster home in Marktleugast: Contact Rico born 1.6.2024, neutered. Findus born 30.9.

Zwei Kater, ein Herz – und ein freier Platz auf deinem Sofa! Rico und Findus – zwei charmante Fellnasen, die sich auf ihrer Pflegestelle kennengelernt haben und seitdem unzertrennlich sind. Man könnte sagen: Liebe auf den ersten Schnurrer. Wir dachten, sie hätten ihr Happy End gefunden – aber nach drei Monaten hieß es leider: „Das war wohl nix.“ Jetzt suchen die beiden wieder ein Zuhause, wo sie gemeinsam chillen, spielen und ihre Menschen um die Pfote wickeln können. Beide sind lieb und zutraulich und lassen sich gerne streicheln. Findus (rot) ist sehr unternehmungslustig und Rico eher der Ruhige und Gemütliche. Wichtig wäre für die beiden ein gesicherter Freigang oder bei ruhiger Lage auch ein echter Freigang, damit sie ihre Mäusejagd-Karriere nicht aufgeben müssen. Die Pflegemama sagt: „Die zwei sind einfach Goldstücke – liebevoll, verspielt und manchmal ein bisschen frech. Aber genau das macht sie so liebenswert.“ Lernen Sie die zwei Schätze doch mal auf unserer Pflegestelle in Marktleugast kennen: Kontakt Rico geb. 1.6.2024, kastriert Findus geb. 30.9.2024, kastriert

About Rico + Findus

What life with Rico + Findus looks like

Rico + Findus is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rico + Findus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rico + Findus?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rico + Findus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rico + Findus if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rico + Findus 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 Rico + Findus 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 Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rico + Findus 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.
