Ulf und Ulrich

Male · Adult · 8 years

Ulf und Ulrich came from beautiful Leipzig to us. Unfortunately, their owner passed away, and consequently, there was sometimes a bit too much food; as can be clearly seen. They both hide at first, but they warm up relatively quickly once they get to know you. Ulf should be supported in losing weight in his new home. Once he gets to know you, he is the biggest cuddle bear and will let you rub his belly for hours. Ulrich is a bit more skeptical, as he had to undergo extensive treatment for his bad teeth and experienced incredible pain. But he is also gaining more trust. It is important that they are weighed weekly and that weight loss is supported through diet and exercise. Since the two are very attached to each other, they are looking for a quiet home without small children.

Ulf und Ulrich kamen aus dem schönen Leipzig zu uns. Leider wurde ihr Frauchen dement und dementsprechend gab es auch mal ein Futterschälchen zu viel; wie man deutlich sehen kann. Inzwischen haben die beiden eine tolle Verwandlung hingelegt. Sie verstecken sich zwar beide erstmal, doch tauen sehr schnell auf wenn sie einen erstmal kennen. Beide sollte in ihrem neuen Zuhause noch beim Abnehmen unterstützt werden. Vor allem Ulf würde gerne den ganzen Tag schmusen. Wenn er mal in Fahrt kommt lässt sich stundenlang den Bauch kraulen. Ulrich ist anfangs noch etwas skeptisch, da er lange wegen seiner schlimmen Zähne behandelt werden musste. Doch auch er lässt sich inzwischen schnell überzeugen. Die beiden finden den stressigen Tierheim also nicht so toll & hätten am liebsten ein ruhiges Zuhause mit viel Streicheleinheiten. Da die beiden sehr aneinander hängen, suchen sie gemeinsam ein Zuhause, ohne kleine Kinder.

About Ulf und Ulrich

What life with Ulf und Ulrich looks like

Ulf und Ulrich is a adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Ulf und Ulrich, answered.

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