Themba (zusammen mit Taani)

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

Themba is a calm, sensitive and reserved cat. He spends most of his time in one of his hiding places where he feels safe. However, with people he trusts, he shows a completely different side: he lets himself be stroked without problems and enjoys the quiet moments with his caregivers. It is clearly noticeable that the animal shelter situation is a burden for him and he longs for a permanent home.In the animal shelter, Themba met his friend Taani. The two have become inseparable. Taani always seeks his proximity, cuddles up to him in his hiding place and thereby gives him visible security and comfort. Themba also orients himself towards her, so that the two have become a well-coordinated team. Therefore, they are only placed together.We wish Themba and Taani a quiet home with patient people who give them the time to arrive at their own pace and build trust. Since both were originally outdoor cats, they would like to explore their surroundings again after a suitable acclimatization period. Therefore, they will only be placed in a traffic-calmed and quiet residential area. Children should not live in the new home, as a quiet environment without a lot of hustle and bustle is particularly important to them.

„Themba“ ist ein ruhiger, sensibler und zurückhaltender Kater. Die meiste Zeit verbringt er in einem seiner Verstecke, wo er sich sicher fühlt. Bei Menschen, denen er vertraut, zeigt er jedoch eine ganz andere Seite: Er lässt sich problemlos streicheln und genießt die ruhigen Momente mit seinen Bezugspersonen. Es ist deutlich zu spüren, dass ihn die Tierheimsituation belastet und er sich nach einem festen Zuhause sehnt.Im Tierheim hat „Themba“ seine Freundin „Taani“ kennengelernt. Die beiden sind mittlerweile unzertrennlich. „Taani“ sucht immer wieder seine Nähe, kuschelt sich zu ihm in sein Versteck und schenkt ihm dadurch sichtbar Sicherheit und Geborgenheit. Auch „Themba“ orientiert sich an ihr, sodass die beiden ein eingespieltes Team geworden sind. Deshalb werden sie ausschließlich gemeinsam vermittelt.Für „Themba“ und „Taani“ wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei geduldigen Menschen, die ihnen die Zeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Da beide ursprünglich Freigänger waren, möchten sie nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit wieder ihre Umgebung erkunden können. Sie werden daher ausschließlich in eine verkehrsarme und ruhige Wohngegend vermittelt. Kinder sollten nicht im neuen Zuhause leben, da ihnen ein ruhiges Umfeld ohne viel Trubel besonders wichtig ist.

Frequently asked

Adopting Themba (zusammen mit Taani), answered.

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