Sophie und Dorothy (reserviert)

Female

Dorothy and Sophie were brought to us together with a third cat, all in extremely poor health. The trio had been left behind in a neglected apartment and arrived at our facility severely dehydrated and nearly starved. After intensive care, veterinary treatment—including spaying/neutering—and comprehensive medical care, the time has finally come for them to pack their bags. We’ll introduce Rose, the third lady of the group, separately, as she makes it clear that she prefers to keep her fellow cats at a distance—especially during feeding times. We’re now looking for the very best home for Sophie and Dorothy—a loving apartment setting with a secure balcony—ideally with people who will shower them with unconditional love and attention, enabling them to quickly put their past behind them.

Dorothy und Sophie wurden zusammen mit einer dritten Katze in einem äußerst schlechten gesundheitlichen Zustand zu uns gebracht. Das Trio wurde in einer verwahrlosten Wohnung zurückgelassen und kam dehydriert und fast verhungert bei uns an. Nach intensivem Aufpäppeln, tierärztlicher Versorgung inklusive Kastration und dem ganzen Programm ist es nun endlich soweit, dass die Köfferchen gepackt werden können. Rose, die dritte Dame im Bunde, stellen wir separat vor, da sie deutlich macht, dass sie ihre Artgenossen lieber auf Abstand sieht – vor allem zur Fütterungszeit. Für Sophie und Dorothy suchen wir nun das weltbeste Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon bei Menschen, die den beiden die Welt zu Füßen legen, damit sie ganz schnell mit ihrer Vergangenheit abschließen können.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sophie und Dorothy (reserviert), answered.

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