Adopt Strietzel & Knöpfle

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Two young tomcats seek a new beginning Strietzel and Knöpfle, who are approximately 3–4 months old, have already been neutered and came to us at our shelter via a confiscation. Now they are looking for a loving home where they can finally experience the safety and security they have missed so far. Currently, the two are still a bit shy and like to hide when something unfamiliar appears. However, day by day, they become braver and are slowly opening up. With patience, calmness, and understanding, they will surely gain more trust and show their curious and playful side. For Strietzel and Knöpfle, we envision both a suitable for apartment living environment with enough space and a secured balcony as well as a home with later outdoor access in a safe environment. As the two are still young, we wish for people who can give them the time they need and are happy about every small progress. Strietzel & Knöpfle wish for: A loving home with time to settle in suitable for apartment living or outdoor access People who give them security and safety Many opportunities for play, climbing, and exploration After a difficult start in life, Strietzel and Knöpfle now seek people who can show them how wonderful a real home can be.

Zwei junge Kater suchen einen Neuanfang Die beiden Kater Strietzel und Knöpfle sind etwa 3–4 Monate alt, bereits kastriert und kamen über eine Beschlagnahmung zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun suchen sie ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie endlich die Sicherheit und Geborgenheit erfahren dürfen, die sie bisher vermisst haben. Aktuell sind die beiden noch etwas schüchtern und verstecken sich gerne, wenn ihnen etwas ungewohnt erscheint. Doch Tag für Tag werden sie mutiger und beginnen langsam aufzutauen. Mit Geduld, Ruhe und Verständnis werden sie sicher weiter Vertrauen fassen und ihre neugierige, verspielte Seite zeigen. Für Strietzel und Knöpfle können wir uns sowohl eine Wohnungshaltung mit ausreichend Platz und gesichertem Balkon als auch ein Zuhause mit späterem Freigang in einer sicheren Umgebung vorstellen. Da die beiden noch jung sind, wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihnen die Zeit geben, die sie brauchen, und sich über jeden kleinen Fortschritt freuen. Strietzel & Knöpfle wünschen sich: Ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Zeit zum Ankommen Wohnungshaltung oder Freigang Menschen, die ihnen Sicherheit und Geborgenheit schenken Viele Möglichkeiten zum Spielen, Klettern und Entdecken Nach einem schwierigen Start ins Leben suchen Strietzel und Knöpfle nun Menschen, die ihnen zeigen, wie schön ein richtiges Zuhause sein kann.

About Strietzel & Knöpfle

What life with Strietzel & Knöpfle looks like

Strietzel & Knöpfle is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Strietzel & Knöpfle, answered.

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