Ziggy + Marley

British Shorthair · Male · Senior · 14 years

Ziggy + Marley Ziggy seeks a lot of affection and loves to sit on shoulders and be stroked. Marley is a bit more reserved but also enjoys contact once he gets to know you. Neither brother likes to be pressured. Both brothers were more stressed in the presence of other cats, which often led to tension between them. After moving into their own room, the situation has slowly calmed down; they seek each other's company and lie together a lot. If you are interested in our cats, please contact the animal shelter directly by phone (leave a message on AB if you prefer) or by email with your phone number, so that we can discuss more details and potentially arrange a meeting to get to know them.

DE·Show original

Ziggy + Marley Ziggy sucht nach dem Kennenlernen viel Körperkontakt. Er liebt es, auf den Schultern zu sitzen und sich streicheln zu lassen. Marley ist etwas zurückhaltender, braucht etwas Zeit, freut sich dann aber auch über Kontakt. Bedrängt werden möchten beide nicht. Im Bestand mit fremden Katzen waren beide Brüder eher gestresst, weshalb die Harmonie zwischen ihnen öfter ins Wanken kam. Nach Umzug in ein eigenes Zimmer entspannte sich die Lage langsam wieder; sie suchen gegenseitig Nähe und liegen viel zusammen. Wenn Sie Interesse an unseren Katzen haben, melden Sie sich bitte direkt telefonisch im Tierheim unter (gerne Nachricht auf AB hinterlassen) oder per Mail mit Angabe Ihrer Telefonnummer an , dann kann Näheres besprochen und gegebenenfalls ein Termin zum Kennenlernen ausgemacht werden.

About Ziggy + Marley

What life with Ziggy + Marley looks like

Ziggy + Marley is a senior british shorthair dog waiting at Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Ziggy + Marley, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ziggy + Marley?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ziggy + Marley on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ziggy + Marley if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg 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 Ziggy + Marley already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs 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 Ziggy + Marley 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 Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ziggy + Marley 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.
