How do I contact the shelter about Tres & Cuatro?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Velbert handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tres & Cuatro on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tres & Cuatro if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Velbert 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 Tres & Cuatro 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 Tres & Cuatro 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 Velbert early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tres & Cuatro 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.

Tres & Cuatro

British Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Two charming apartment cats had to leave their old home because their owner could no longer care for them. Now they are waiting at the shelter for their new favorite people. Tres and Cuatro are two dream cats in a double pack, proving that you don't always have to stretch all four to be perfect in life. Tres: the action hero on three legs The name here is a program, because he owes his name to the fact that he darts through life on three legs. Anyone who feels sorry for him doesn't know Tres yet! The missing leg doesn't slow him down at all. He has absolutely no limitations, is ready for any nonsense, and loves action, games, and adventure. When Tres dashes through the cat room, you forget that a leg is missing - he just has energy for four 😉 . Cuatro: the rock in the fire To maintain mathematical balance, there is Cuatro. He is completely wrapped in white and the perfect counterpart to his sporty buddy. Cuatro is the more relaxed, deeply relaxed representative. While Tres rocks the room, Cuatro prefers to watch the spectacle from the couch, or lies at his human's feet to be stroked. He is a master of gentle purring and the absolute peace pole of the duo. As different as their temperament is, they agree on two things - people and cuddling. Both cats are very people-oriented, affectionate, and want to be in the middle of the action. For Tres & Cuatro, we are looking for a loving home in pure apartment living (a secured balcony would be an enrichment, but not a must), with people with plenty of time, so they can pack their bags soon.

Jetzt warten sie bei uns im Tierheim auf ihre neuen Lieblingsmenschen. Tres und Cuatro sind zwei Traumkater im Doppelpack, die beweisen, dass man im Leben nicht immer alle viere von sich strecken muss, um perfekt zu sein. Tres: der Actionheld auf drei Pfoten Der Name ist hier Programm, den er verdankt seinen Namen der Tatsache, dass er mit drei Beinen durchs Leben flitzt. Wer jetzt Mitleid hat, kennt Tres noch nicht! Das fehlende Beinchen bremst ihn kein bisschen aus. Er hat absolut keine Einschränkungen, ist für jeden Quatsch zu haben und liebt Action, Spiele und Abenteuer. Wenn Tres durch die Katzenstube saust, vergisst man glatt, das da ein Bein fehlt-er hat einfach Energie für vier 😉 . Cuatro: der Fels in der Brandung Um das mathematische Gleichgewicht zu wahren, gibt es Cuatro. Er ist ganz in weiß gehüllt und der perfekte Gegenpol zu seinem sportlichen Kumpel. Cuatro ist eher der ruhige, tiefenentspannte Vertreter. Während Tres die Bude rockt, schaut Cuatro sich das Spektakel lieber gemütlich von der Couch aus an, oder liegt seinen Menschen zu Füssen, um sich den Bauch kraulen zu lassen. Er ist ein Meister des sanften Schnurrens und der absolute Ruhepol des Duos. So unterschiedlich ihr Temperament auch ist, in zwei Dingen sind sie sich völlig einig – Menschen und Kuscheln. Beide Kater sind sehr menschenbezogen, verschmust und wollen am liebsten mitten im Geschehen sein. Für Tres & Cuatro suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung (ein gesicherter Balkon wäre eine Bereicherung, aber kein Muss), bei Menschen mit viel Zeit, damit auch sie bald ihre Köfferchen packen dürfen.

About Tres & Cuatro

What life with Tres & Cuatro looks like

Tres & Cuatro is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Velbert in Velbert.

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.
