Tara & Vicky

European Shorthair · Female

I am Tara and my friend next to me is named Vicky, we are real Black Beauties. I am quite laid-back and calm in nature, in contrast to my friend Vicky, who is often very energetic and zooms around. One could say we are like Yin and Yang. By the way, you can easily recognize me by my few white chest hairs, while Vicky has little vampire fangs.

Ich bin Tara und meine Freundin neben mir heißt Vicky, wir sind echte Black-Beautys. Ich bin ziemlich entspannt & ruhiger Natur, im Gegensatz zu meiner Freundin Vicky, die ist nämlich manchmal sehr energiegeladen und flitzt durch die Gegend. Man könnte sagen, wir sind wie Ying & Yang. Mich könnt ihr übrigens gut an meinen paar weißen Brusthaaren erkennen, während Vicky kleine Vampirzähnchen hat. An sich kommt jede von uns mit anderen Katzen zurecht, aber da wir so verschieden sind, ist es oft schwierig andere Katzenkumpel zu finden, denn entweder mag ich sie nicht oder Vicky, aber wir reichen

About Tara & Vicky

What life with Tara & Vicky looks like

Tara & Vicky is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tara & Vicky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tara & Vicky?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Meine Katzenstation handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tara & Vicky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tara & Vicky if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Meine Katzenstation 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tara & Vicky 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 Tara & Vicky 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 Meine Katzenstation early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tara & Vicky 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.
