Ylvi & Ellie

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Ylvi and Ellie, two female, neutered cats, born around 2023 and 2020 respectively, are looking for a forever home. They are very social and would love to be adopted together. Ylvi is very people-oriented, while Ellie is a bit shy at first. They have no known disabilities. They were likely abandoned in the forest and have been living there, which is a known area when people no longer want their cats. From here, they cannot find their way back home or survive, as there are many wild animals, especially wolves, that they fear. Fortunately, someone noticed them and now they are waiting on a safe foster home for a real home where they will be well cared for and loved, not abandoned again. They don't understand what they did wrong. They are always so loving 🙁 They get along well with the other cats on the foster home. The kittens here love Ylvi because she takes care of them like a mom. I, Ellie, am still a bit scared, but I learn every day that there are also kind people. Just give me some time and I will give you my love a thousandfold. Ylvi is very affectionate and lets everyone pet her right away. Together, we are a great team! That's why we would love to find a home together. We would like to be adopted into a pure indoor environment, as we feel comfortable in a safe home environment. A cat-proofed balcony would be nice, but it's not a must. We are spayed/neutered, already have our initial vaccinations against cat flu and distemper, and when we travel to you, we will also receive a microchip, a rabies vaccination, and an EU pet passport.

Standort: Rumänien, Orastie Geschlecht: beide weiblich, kastriert Geboren: Ylvi etwa 2023, Ellie etwa 2020 Charakter: sehr sozial Artgenossen gegenüber. Die beiden würden gern gemeinsam vermittelt werden. Ylvi ist sehr menschenbezogen, Ellie etwas scheu anfangs. Handicap: keins bekannt Hallo ihr da draußen, wir sind die Tigerin Ylvi und die liebe Ellie. Wir wurden wahrscheinlich im Wald ausgesetzt. Auf jeden Fall stromerte wir da herum und das ist ein bekanntes Gebiet, wenn man uns Katzen nicht mehr haben will. Denn von hier aus finden wir nicht mehr nach Hause bzw. überleben das Ganze nicht, weil es hier viele wilder Tiere gibt, besonders vor den Wölfen haben wir große Angst. Zum Glück wurde jemand auf uns aufmerksam und nun warten wir auf einer sicheren Pflegestelle auf ein richtiges Zuhause, in dem man gut auf uns aufpasst und wir geliebt und nicht wieder ausgesetzt werden. Denn wir verstehen die Welt nicht mehr. Was haben wir denn falsch gemacht? Wir sind doch immer so lieb 🙁 Hier auf der Pflegestelle verstehen wir uns mit den anderen Katzen sehr gut. Die Kitten hier lieben Ylvi, weil sie sich wie eine Mama kümmert. Ich, Ellie bin noch etwas verschreckt, lerne ab Tag für Tag mehr, dass es auch liebe Menschen gibt. Gib mir einfach etwas Zeit und ich werde es dir tausendfach meiner Liebe zurückgeben. Ylvi ist total zutraulich und lässt sich gern gleich von jedem streicheln. Zusammen sind wir auf jeden Fall ein tolles Team! Deshalb möchten wir am liebsten gemeinsam ein Zuhause finden. Wir möchten gerne in reine Wohnungshaltung vermittelt werden, denn in sicherer Wohnungsumgebung fühlen wir uns wohl. Schön wäre ein katzengerecht gesicherter Balkon, der ist aber kein Muss. Wir sind kastriert, aben schon unsere Erstimpfungen gegen Katzenschnupfen, -seuche erhalten und wenn wir zu dir reisen, werden wir auch einen Mikrochip, eine Tollwutimpfung und einen EU-Heimtierausweis erhalten.

About Ylvi & Ellie

What life with Ylvi & Ellie looks like

Ylvi & Ellie is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Ylvi & Ellie, answered.

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