Susi & Selma

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

We are looking for people with a heart!!! Unfortunately, we do not know the exact age of these two senior ladies, but it is said that they are probably around 16 years old. They were rescued from poor living conditions and have been living with us since March. They are two very quiet cats that you hardly notice. We feed them kidney food because Susi has elevated kidney values. We would love to see the two of them spend a beautiful time with nice bipeds in an apartment without outdoor access. The food would be provided by us. Who wants to spoil them some more? Write us an email :-)

Menschen mit Herz gesucht!!! Leider kennen wir das genaue Alter dieser beiden Seniorinnen nicht, aber man erzählt sich, dass sie wohl so ca. 16 Jahre sein sollen. Sie wurden aus einer schlechten Haltung geholt und leben inzwischen seit März bei uns. Es sind zwei sehr ruhige Katzen, welche man kaum merkt. Wir füttern Nierenfutter, da Susi erhöhte Nierenwerte hat. Wir wünschen uns sooo gerne, dass die Beiden noch eine schöne Zeit bei netten Zweibeinern in einer Wohnung ohne Freigang verbringen können. Das Futter würden wir weiter zur Verfügung stellen. Wer möchte die Beiden noch etwas verwöhnen? Schreibt uns gerne eine Mail :-)

About Susi & Selma

What life with Susi & Selma looks like

Susi & Selma is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheimverein Erfurt in Germany.

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 Susi & Selma, answered.

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