How do I contact the shelter about Balisto?

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 Balisto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Balisto 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 Balisto 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.

Balisto

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Hello, I'm the little Balisto! Together with my siblings, I came to the animal shelter as a found animal, and now it's finally time for my own home! Like most kittens, I'm very curious and want to explore everything that comes under my paws. My favorite activities are eating, sleeping, and playing a lot - preferably with my siblings and the kittens who live here in the animal shelter. I don't want to miss out on that in my new home! That's why I only want to go with another kitten or a fellow animal of the same age. Since we've lived outdoors for the first few weeks of our lives, we're still not entirely comfortable with humans. We are very interested in you two-leggeds and would love to be petted, but we don't want to be touched quite as much yet. If you have a little patience and show us that humans can be really great, we'll surely enjoy a few scratches behind the ears. It would be nice if I could explore the world after my neutering in a less busy environment. If you're interested in me or my siblings, feel free to contact my foster parents at the animal shelter!

Hallöchen, ich bin der kleine Balisto! Zusammen mit meinen Geschwistern kam ich als Fundtier ins Tierheim und nun wird es endlich Zeit für ein eigenes Zuhause! Wie die meisten Kitten bin ich sehr neugierig und möchte alles erkunden, was mir unter die Pfoten kommt. Meine Lieblingsbeschäftigungen sind fressen, schlafen und ganz viel spielen - am liebsten mit meinen Geschwistern und den Kitten, mit denen ich hier im Tierheim zusammenlebe. Das möchte ich in meinem neuen Zuhause auf keinen Fall mehr missen! Deshalb ziehe ich nur zusammen mit einem anderen Kitten oder zu einem gleichaltrigen Artgenossen aus. Da wir die ersten Wochen unseres Lebens draußen gelebt haben, sind uns Menschen noch nicht ganz geheuer. Wir sind zwar sehr interessiert an euch Zweibeinern und werden gerne bespaßt, wollen aber noch nicht so gerne angefasst werden. Wenn Ihr aber ein wenig Geduld habt und uns zeigt, dass Menschen echt toll sein können, genießen wir sicherlich die ein oder andere Streicheleinheit. Es wäre schön, wenn ich nach meiner Kastration die Welt in einer verkehrsberuhigten Umgebung erkunden darf. Wenn Ihr Interesse an mir oder meinen Geschwistern habt, dann meldet Euch doch gerne bei meinen Pflegern im Tierheim! Euer Balisto
