Samantha & Speedy

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 1 year

The pretty kitty girl Samantha and her big brother Speedy were taken in as strays with their siblings and Mama Stella. Both are now ready to move into a new home - with loving and patient can openers! 🐾 They are still a bit shy, but they can be encouraged to romp and play around the room with toy wands, ping pong balls, and treats. After an adjustment period, both should definitely have free access to the outdoors (of course away from main or heavily trafficked roads). If you have any questions or are interested, feel free to write to us - we look forward to it!

Das hübsche Katzenmädchen Samantha und ihr großer Bruder Speedy wurden mit ihren Geschwistern und Mama Stella als Fundtiere aufgenommen. Beide sind nun bereit in ein neues Zuhause zu ziehen - mit lieben und geduldigen Dosenöffnern! 🐾 Sie sind noch etwas zurückhaltend, lassen sich aber gerne mit Spielzeugangel, Tischtennisbällchen und Leckerchen dazu ermutigen durchs Zimmer zu toben und zu spielen. Freigang sollte beide unbedingt nach der Eingewöhnungszeit zur Verfügung stehen (natürlich abseits von Hauptstraßen oder stark befahrenen Straßen) Bei Fragen oder Interesse schreibt uns gerne an - wir freuen uns!

About Samantha & Speedy

What life with Samantha & Speedy looks like

Samantha & Speedy is a large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein für den Kreis Altenkirchen e.V. in Daaden.

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 Samantha & Speedy, answered.

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