Alfred

Male · Adult · 7 years

Hey, I'm Alfred and I'd like to briefly introduce myself and my situation: Unfortunately, my brother Oskar and I can no longer stay with our human family as his life situation has changed so that we can no longer have our beloved freedom. Therefore, we are now moving to a new, loving home where we can go out again. We would very much like to move into a new home as a double pack if that's possible, because we've always been together. I'm not really shy, but more of a little explorer who is brave enough to explore the new. When you come in the door and I'm at home, be prepared for cuddle attacks. In my previous home, they've been a bit too generous with my food. I should probably lose about a kilo, but we'll definitely get that back, especially when I have my freedom again. I love to roam over fields and meadows, but I've never brought "gifts" back before. Curious? I would be delighted if I were rehomed together with the tomcat Oskar :-) Then come by and get to know me. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hey, ich bin Alfred und ich möchte mich und meine Situation kurz vorstellen: Leider können mein Bruder Oskar und ich nicht mehr bei unserem Menschen bleiben, da sich seine Lebenssituation so verändert hat, dass wir unseren geliebten Freigang nicht mehr haben könnten. Darum dürfen wir jetzt in ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause umziehen, wo wir wieder raus können. Wir würden sehr gern im Doppelpack in ein neues Zuhause einziehen, wenn das geht, denn wir sind ja schon immer zusammen. Ich bin nicht wirklich scheu, sondern eher ein kleiner Entdecker, der mutig genug ist, Neues zu erkunden. Wenn du zur Tür rein kommst und ich Zuhause bin, dann mach dich auf Kuschelattacken gefasst. In meinem bisherigen Zuhause hat man es etwas zu gut mit meinem Futter gemeint. Ich sollte ungefähr ein Kilo abnehmen, aber das bekommen wir sicher schnell wieder hin, spätestens, wenn ich wieder Freigang habe. Ich liebe es, über Felder und Wiesen zu streunern, habe aber bisher noch nie "Geschenke" mitgebracht. Neugierig? Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ich zusammen mit dem Kater Oskar vermittelt werde :-) Dann komm vorbei und lern mich kennen.

About Alfred

What life with Alfred looks like

Alfred is a small adult cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alfred, answered.

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