Ernie & Bert

Male · Senior · 18 years

☎️ Nähere Infos und Interessenten melden sich bitte unter Zwei Senioren-Kater (18 Jahre) suchen gemeinsam ein liebevolles Zuhause ❤️ Schweren Herzens suchen wir für unsere beiden 18-jährigen Brüder ein neues Zuhause. Die beiden sind ihr ganzes Leben zusammen und werden daher ausschließlich gemeinsam abgegeben. Ein kleiner Charakterkopf, manchmal etwas eigen, aber mit großem Herzen. Er hat eine entzündliche Darmerkrankung und benötigt alle zwei Tage Cortison sowie Spezialfutter. Sehr sanft, feinfühlig und menschenbezogen. Er leidet an einer Haut-Autoimmunerkrankung, Futtermittelallergie und Epilepsie. Er bekommt alle zwei Tage Cortison sowie morgens und abends seine Epilepsie-Medikamente. Wichtig ist, dass diese möglichst zuverlässig jeden Tag zur gleichen Uhrzeit gegeben werden. Zudem ist er beim großen Geschäft unsauber, eine körperliche Ursache konnte trotz Untersuchungen nicht festgestellt werden. Beide sind kastriert, aber nicht geimpft, und reine Hauskatzen. Ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne andere Tiere wäre für sie ideal. Durch unseren Nachwuchs können wir den beiden leider nicht mehr die Zeit, Ruhe und Fürsorge geben, die sie in diesem Lebensabschnitt verdienen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns liebevolle Menschen mit Herz, die ihnen noch eine schöne und geborgene Zeit schenken möchten. 💛 Die aktuell anfallenden Medikamentenkosten übernehmen wir weiterhin, damit dies kein Hinderungsgrund ist. Bei ernsthaftem Interesse freuen wir uns sehr über eine Nachricht. Wir wünschen uns für die beiden einen Platz, an dem sie ihren Lebensabend in Ruhe, Sicherheit und Geborgenheit verbringen dürfen. ❤️🐾

About Ernie & Bert

What life with Ernie & Bert looks like

Ernie & Bert is a large senior cat waiting at Tierhilfe Leichlingen e.V. in Germany.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Ernie & Bert, answered.

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