Swiper & Tamme

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Swiper (red-white) and Tamme (tigered) are excited to introduce ourselves! We have two different stories that were brought together a while ago. I, Tamme, came to my foster family around 10 days old, who made sure I grew big and strong. My name is meant to steer fate in the right direction 🫣. I am an extremely open-minded little guy and have no fear! My best friend (which unfortunately only I see) is the dog of my foster family. My buddy Swiper suddenly appeared, initially he was really impressive but we quickly became friends, even though Swiper showed some shyness at first, now he has really thawed out, it's okay not to attack everyone right away, just like me. As you can see, we are two lively cool little (big) guys who are looking for our perfect home where we can really let off steam, with lots of climbing opportunities and spaces to run around 🥰. Although we are big explorers, we would be completely happy with apartment living, a dog is welcome to live with you if he likes cats. Then please send us an email with information and photos about the future cat's care or leave a message on our answering machine. We would be very happy to make an appointment and show you our cats, as well as possible furnishing options. In a personal conversation we will individually address you and the needs of each animal and find the best possible human-cat constellation with you.

Hallo ihr Menschen da draußen, nach langer Zeit und vielen ersten Erfahrungen möchten wir uns gerne vorstellen! Wir sind Swiper (rot-weiß) und Tamme (getigert). Wir haben zwei unterschiedliche Geschichten, die nun vor einer Weile zusammen geführt wurden. Ich, Tamme, kam mit ca. 10 Tagen zu meiner Pflegefamilie, die dafür gesorgt hat, dass ich groß und stark werde. Mein Name soll das Schicksal aber auch in die richtige Richtung lenken 🫣. Ich bin ein äußerst aufgeschlossener kleiner Kerl und habe vor nichts Angst! Mein allerbester Freund (das sehe leider nur ich so) ist der Hund meiner Pflegefamilie. Mein Kumpel Swiper ist plötzlich einfach da gewesen, anfangs war er echt ziemlich beeindruckend aber wir wurden schnell Freunde, auch wenn Swiper anfangs sich etwas schüchtern zeigte, mittlerweile ist er richtig aufgetaut, ist ja auch okay nicht gleich jeden zu überfallen, so wie ich. Wie ihr vielleicht seht, sind wir zwei aufgeweckte coole kleine (große) Kerle, die unser perfektes Zuhause suchen, wo wir uns so richtig austoben dürfen, mit ganz vielen Klettermöglichkeiten und Strecken zum flitzen 🥰. Auch wenn wir große Entdecker sind, wären wir mit reiner Wohnungshaltung vollkommen zufrieden, ein Hund darf gerne auch bei euch wohnen, wenn er Katzen mag. Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen und Fotos über die zukünftige Haltung der Katze oder hinterlasse eine Nachricht auf unserem Anrufbeantworter. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Katzen, sowie mögliche Einrichtungsvarianten. Im persönlichen Gespräch gehen wir individuell auf dich und die Bedürfnisse des einzelnen Tieres ein und suchen die bestmögliche Mensch-Katzen-Konstellation mit dir aus.

About Swiper & Tamme

What life with Swiper & Tamme looks like

Swiper & Tamme is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

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 Swiper & Tamme, answered.

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