How do I contact the shelter about Salem und Yumi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Melle handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Salem und Yumi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Salem und Yumi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Melle 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 Salem und Yumi 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 Salem und Yumi 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 Melle early rather than rehoming privately; they know Salem und Yumi 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.

Salem und Yumi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

I am looking for a new home for my two tomcats, Salem (5) black and Yumi (4) black/white. Both are neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Both were raised on a leash, but now live as indoor cats for about 1 year. The transition to indoor cats has gone well in part, although they sometimes escape, but they always return to the front door after a few hours. Something they unfortunately do not like is my 1-year-old child. Yumi seems to have the most problems with this and often refuses to eat, so I have increased her portion but still. Additionally, I have started working and am often not at home during the day, and the child needs to be fed in the evening, so I feed the cats with the help of a food dispenser, but I unfortunately have no more time for them otherwise. I notice this in their mood, and Salem has become very depressed. I cannot manage the division of my time with a child and cats as a single parent, and my ex (who picked them up then) unfortunately does not want to take them in. My number. This cat needs outdoor access. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Ich suche ein neues Zuhause für meine zwei Kater Salem (5) schwarz und Yumi (4) schwarz/weiß, beide sind kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Beide sind mit Freigang aufgewachsen, leben nun aber seit ca. 1 Jahr als Wohnungskatze. Die Umstellung als Wohnungskatze ist zum Teil sehr gut verlaufen auch wenn sie zwischendurch fliehen aber sie stehen nach einigen Stunden wieder vor der Wohnungstür. Etwas was sie leider gar nicht mögen ist mein 1 jähriges Kind. Yumi scheint damit am meisten Probleme zu haben und verweigert deswegen oft das Essen, weswegen ich es nun erhöht habe aber dennoch. Zudem bin ich nun mit dem arbeiten gestartet und oft über Tag nicht mehr zuhause und abends muss das Kind versorgt werden, daher fütter ich die Katzen mit Hilfe von Futterautomaten aber sonst bleibt mir leider nicht mehr Zeit für sie. Das merke ich leider auch an deren Stimmung und gerade Salem ist sehr depressiv geworden. Mit Kind und Katzen schaffe ich die Einteilung meiner Zeit leider nicht, da es nicht funktioniert als Alleinerziehende und mein Ex (der sie damals geholt hat) will sie leider nicht zu sich nehmen.

About Salem und Yumi

What life with Salem und Yumi looks like

Salem und Yumi is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Melle in Melle.

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.
