How do I contact the shelter about Zephir & Poldy?

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

Can I adopt Zephir & Poldy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 Zephir & Poldy 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 Zephir & Poldy 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 Berlin Falkenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zephir & Poldy 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.

Zephir & Poldy

European Shorthair · Male

We’re Zephir and Poldy, and together we’re looking for a home where we can grow old side by side. Here’s a bit about us: I’m Zephir (red-and-white), the more outgoing half of our duo—friendly, cuddly, playful, and always up for some fun. Poldy takes a bit longer to warm up and build trust, but he’s confident and sometimes a little stubborn. Once he’s gotten to know his people, though, he reveals his lovable side too. As smart and active cats, we need plenty of mental stimulation and quality time spent with our humans. We’d love to share a home together—either in an apartment of at least 80 m² with a secure balcony, or in a safe environment that’s welcoming to beginners and allows supervised outdoor access. A quiet household without children would be ideal. Our new humans are welcome to have some cat experience already, and they should enjoy spending time engaging with us. Would you like to get to know us better? Please get in touch via the inquiry form below or by phone at Samtpfötchen-Haus 1 (daily from 1 pm to 4 pm, except Saturdays).

Wir sind Zephir und Poldy und suchen gemeinsam ein Zuhause, in dem wir zusammen alt werden dürfen. Das sind wir: Ich, Zephir (rot-weiß), bin der offenere Teil unseres Duos: freundlich, verschmust, verspielt und immer für Beschäftigung zu haben. Poldy raucht etwas mehr Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen, ist selbstbewusst und manchmal auch ein kleiner Dickkopf. Hat er seine Menschen aber erst einmal kennengelernt, zeigt auch er seine liebenswerte Seite. Weil wir kluge und aktive Kater sind, brauchen wir ausreichend Beschäftigung und gemeinsame Zeit mit unseren Menschen. Wir wünschen uns ein gemeinsames Zuhause – entweder in einer Wohnung ab etwa 80 m² mit gesichertem Balkon oder mit anfängerfreundlichem Freigang in einer sicheren Umgebung. Ein ruhiger Haushalt ohne Kinder wäre ideal. Unsere neuen Menschen dürfen gern schon Katzenerfahrung mitbringen und sollten Freude daran haben, sich mit uns zu beschäftigen. Möchtest du uns kennenlernen? Melde dich gern über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Samtpfötchen-Haus 1 unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

Zephir & Poldy is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in 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.
