Adopt Sammy und Dusty

Mixed Breed · Unknown

**Loving Home Sought for Two Quiet Tomcats 🐾** Sammy und Dusty, two neutered tomcats (born summer 2017), are looking for a quiet and loving new home together. They were rescued from poor living conditions in 2017 and have been living together in an 80 sqm apartment with a secured balcony since fall 2018. They are mixed-breed domestic shorthairs and are very close to each other, which is why we only want to place them together. Both tomcats are rather shy, cautious, and sensitive. Loud noises like traffic are particularly stressful for them, so we hope to find them a quiet home with a secure balcony or enclosed garden area, away from busy streets. Sammy has a slight visual impairment, which barely affects his daily life but makes him a bit more skittish. Dusty has intestinal sluggishness, which is still being evaluated. So far, he has not needed any medication. Once the two feel comfortable and settled, they show their affectionate side: They enjoy calm closeness, are cuddly, play occasionally in a relaxed manner, and especially love belly rubs. Children in the household are generally not a problem as long as they are older and gentle with quiet cats. A new home is being sought with heavy hearts because the current cat mom's circumstances have changed. Due to a new job, she is now often out of the house, leaving the two alone for too long. Additionally, the noisy environment near a main road increasingly stresses the two. Sammy und Dusty are very gentle tomcats: They have never bitten or scratched. When something is unpleasant for them, they prefer to withdraw. We are looking for a patient, loving home that can provide the peace and security they deserve, with people who can spend more time with them. Contact:

**Liebevolles Zuhause für zwei ruhige Kater gesucht 🐾** Sammy und Dusty, zwei kastrierte Kater (geb. Sommer 2017), suchen gemeinsam ein ruhiges und liebevolles neues Zuhause. Die beiden wurden 2017 aus schlechter Haltung gerettet und leben seit Herbst 2018 gemeinsam in einer 80 qm Wohnung mit abgesichertem Balkon. Sie sind Kathäuser-Mix und sehr aneinander orientiert, daher möchten wir sie nur zusammen vermitteln. Beide Kater sind eher schüchtern, vorsichtig und sensibel. Besonders laute Geräusche wie Straßenverkehr stressen sie sehr, deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie ein ruhiges Zuhause mit gesichertem Balkon oder abgesichertem Gartenbereich, fern von stark befahrenen Straßen. Sammy hat eine Sehschwäche, die ihn im Alltag jedoch kaum einschränkt. Sie macht ihn lediglich etwas schreckhafter. Dusty hat eine Darmträgheit, die aktuell noch in Abklärung ist. Bisher benötigt er keine Medikamente. Wenn die beiden Vertrauen gefasst und sich eingelebt haben, zeigen sie ihre liebevolle Seite: Sie genießen ruhige Nähe, sind verschmust, spielen gelegentlich eher gemütlich und lieben besonders Bauchmassagen. Kinder im Haushalt sind grundsätzlich kein Problem, sofern diese bereits älter und verständnisvoll im Umgang mit ruhigen Katzen sind. Ein neues Zuhause wird schweren Herzens gesucht, da sich die Lebensumstände der bisherigen Katzenmama verändert haben. Durch einen neuen Job ist sie nun lange außer Haus, so dass die beiden jetzt zu lange alleine sind. Zusätzlich belastet die laute Umgebung an einer Hauptstraße die beiden zunehmend. Sammy und Dusty sind sehr sanfte Kater: Sie haben noch nie gebissen oder gekratzt. Wenn ihnen etwas unangenehm ist, ziehen sie sich lieber zurück. Gesucht wird ein geduldiges, liebevolles Zuhause, das den beiden die Ruhe und Sicherheit geben kann, die sie verdienen, bei Menschen, die etwas mehr Zeit für sie haben. Kontakt: oder

About Sammy und Dusty

What life with Sammy und Dusty looks like

Sammy und Dusty is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Markdorf in Markdorf.

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 Sammy und Dusty, answered.

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