Svante und Tadeus

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Svante und Tadeus, the 2 Ataxic kittens, born in May 2025. Svante und Tadeus, our two, born in May 2025, Ataxic kittens in a foster home, we've already introduced them to you multiple times. Now it's time to think about castration…with the scent of male cats coming from the litter box. We hope very much that both will handle the anesthesia well. Please cross your fingers. If that's over and the further therapies they're currently receiving continue to be effective…we hope very much that we will finally find a suitable home for Svante und Tadeus. While two tomcats may not be as different in nature…Tadeus is a real whirlwind…Svante a very quiet snuggly cat…they have arranged themselves and know how to get along with each other. The best would be if the two found a shared home, but if that's not possible, we would also place the two individually as a second cat to a suitable fellow animal. But only time will show…how it is after the castration. We'll keep you updated. 🙏💖🐱🐱 Svante, after the once massive messiness…has made great progress, doing his business in the litter box every day and everywhere…very good progress. He now uses the litter box for both, although it's not easy for him, he tries very hard to make it work. He has an incredible will…and he is so cuddly and affectionate, his purring touches your heart, and when the sly Tadeus lies next to you in bed with that mischievous look…one just has to love the two…where are the loving people who would give a home to these handicapped kittens? 😇💞They are not beginner kittens. They demand a lot from their new owners. Tadeus not so much, as he has a milder form of Ataxia, but Svante needs more attention and care. Both are very cuddly and affectionate. Tadeus is a sly little rogue, he knows exactly how to wrap someone around his finger, and one can never be angry with him when he gets into mischief. But Svante has severe balance issues and needs therefore low, ground-level sleeping and play options. He is an absolute snuggler, he would love to be carried around all day…he adores it. He enjoys being close to people.

Svante und Tadeus, die 2 Ataxiekater, geboren im Mai 2025. Svante und Tadeus, unsere beiden, im Mai 2025 geborenen Ataxiekater in einer Pflegestelle, hatte wir euch ja schon mehrfach vorgestellt. Nun wird es langsam Zeit an Kastration zu denken…aus der Katzentoilette dringen Katerdüfte. Wir hoffen sehr, dass Beide die Narkose gut verkraften. Bitte drückt ganz fest die Daumen. Wenn das überstanden ist und die weiteren Therapien, die sie gerade bekommen weiterhin gut anschlagen…hoffen wir sehr, das wir für Svante und Tadeus endlich ein passendes Zuhause finden. Zwar könnten 2 Kater nicht unterschiedlicher vom Wesen her sein…Tadeus ist ein richtig frecher Wirbelwind…Svante ein sehr ruhiger Schmusekater…aber sie haben sich arrangiert und wissen miteinander umzugehen. Am tollsten wäre es, wenn die 2 ein gemeinsames Zuhause finden würden, aber wenn das nicht möglich ist, würden wir die Beiden auch einzeln als Zweitkater zu einem passenden Artgenossen vermitteln. Aber das wird die Zeit zeigen…wie es nach der Kastration ist. Wir halten euch auf dem Laufenden. 🙏💖🐱🐱 Svante hat, nach der einstigen massiven Unsauberkeit…jeden Tag wurde neben der Toilette das große Geschäft verrichtet und überall hin gepullert…sehr tolle Fortschritte gemacht. Er benutzt nun für Beides die Katzentoilette, auch wenn das für ihn nicht einfach ist, er strengt sich sehr an, dass es klappt. Er hat einen unglaublichen Willen…und er ist so lieb, anhänglich und verschmust, sein Schnurren geht einem so an`s Herz und wenn der freche Tadeus im Bett neben dir liegt, mit diesem schelmischen Blick…man muss die 2 einfach gern haben…wo sind die lieben Menschen, die auch solchen Handicap-Katern ein Zuhause schenken möchten? 😇💞Sie sind natürlich keine Anfängerkatzen. Sie verlangen ihren neuen Besitzern einiges ab. Tadeus nicht so, er hat ja eine leichtere Form der Ataxie, aber Svante braucht mehr Aufmerksamkeit und Pflege. Verschmust und anhänglich sind Beide sehr. Tadeus ist ein frecher Kobold, er weiß genau, wie er einen um den Finger wickelt und man kann ihm nie böse sein, wenn er Unfug anstellt. Aber Svante hat starke Gleichgewichtsstörungen und braucht deshalb ebenerdige niedrige Schlaf- und Spielmöglichkeiten. Er ist eine absolute Schmusebacke, am liebsten wäre es ihm, man würde ihn den ganzen Tag herumtragen...das liebt er sehr. Er genießt die Nähe zum Menschen. 😍😇🐱🐱

About Svante und Tadeus

What life with Svante und Tadeus looks like

Svante und Tadeus is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Quedlinburg 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 Svante und Tadeus, answered.

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