Sissi und Zora (FIV+)

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Sissi and Zora are two FIV-positive cats who have met at our cat shelter and quickly realized how well they complement each other. While Sissi is an open, loving, and affectionate cat who enjoys petting, Zora is currently more shy and cautious. However, together they provide each other with support and security, which is why we want to rehome them together. Since both are FIV-positive, they need a home with indoor living, preferably with a secure balcony. FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is an immune deficiency in cats that is not transmissible to humans or other animals. Many FIV-positive cats can live many happy years with good care. Unfortunately, Sissi was also diagnosed with FIP. The therapy has been successfully completed and Sissi is back to normal. This shows that Sissi is a little fighter who won't give up. We are looking for calm, loving people with patience and heart for Sissi and Zora, who will give them time to settle in and gain trust. Zora is very attached to Sissi, and together they are a special team. They have been at the shelter for a long time and would now like to pack their bags. Email:

Geschlecht: beide weiblich Farbe/Fell: rot und rot-weiß Gesuchte Haltungsform: Wohnung Die beiden FIV-positiven Katzen haben sich bei uns im Katzenhaus kennengelernt und schnell gemerkt, wie gut sie sich gegenseitig tun. Während Sissi eine offene, liebe und zugängliche Katze ist, die Streicheleinheiten sehr genießt, ist Zora aktuell noch eher schüchtern und vorsichtig. Doch gemeinsam geben sich die beiden Halt und Sicherheit – deshalb möchten wir sie nur zusammen vermitteln. Da beide FIV-positiv sind, suchen sie ein Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung, gerne mit gesichertem Balkon. FIV (Felines Immundefizienz-Virus) ist eine Immunschwäche bei Katzen, die nicht auf Menschen oder andere Tierarten übertragbar ist. Viele FIV-positive Katzen können mit guter Pflege noch viele schöne Jahre verbringen. Bei Sissi wurde leider zusätzlich FIP diagnostiziert. Die Therapie ist derweil erfolgreich abgeschlossen und Sissi ist wieder richtig fit, als wäre nichts gewesen. Auch hier zeigt sich schon, dass Sissi eine kleine Kämpferin ist, die sich nicht unterkriegen lässt. Für Sissi und Zora wünschen wir uns ruhige, liebevolle Menschen mit Geduld und Herz, die den beiden die Zeit geben, anzukommen und weiter Vertrauen zu fassen. Gerade Zora orientiert sich sehr an Sissi und gemeinsam sind die beiden einfach ein kleines, besonderes Team. Beide sind nun schon so lange im Katzenhaus und würden nun gerne ihre Köfferchen packen.

About Sissi und Zora (FIV+)

What life with Sissi und Zora (FIV+) looks like

Sissi und Zora (FIV+) is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. in St. Ingbert.

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 Sissi und Zora (FIV+), answered.

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