Blacky

Male · Senior · 14 years

Hello, I am Blacky. I ended up here because my mistress passed away. This makes me incredibly sad because I was bottle-fed by her and have lived with her until now. Here, I have become quite withdrawn and didn't want to eat at first. I am slowly getting used to life here, though. I still don't allow anyone to pet me, but I am sure that if I find a primary caregiver, I will definitely let them pet me. I hope to find a new home soon because this place is not to my liking. I am also not the youngest and am therefore looking for a new home quickly. I don't enjoy a lot of fuss. I also don't like small children. I simply want a quiet home. So, if you are still looking for a quiet tomcat, please contact the animal shelter.

Hallo, ich bin Blacky. Ich bin hier gelandet, weil mein Frauchen verstorben ist. Das macht mich super traurig, denn von ihr wurde ich mit der Flasche groß gezogen und durfte bis jetzt bei ihr leben. Hier habe ich mich deswegen stark zurück gezogen und wollte auch erst nicht fressen. So langsam lebe ich mich hier aber ein. Streicheln lasse ich mich hier noch nicht, aber ich bin mir sicher, wenn ich mal eine Bezugsperson gefunden habe, dann lasse ich mich bestimmt auch mal streicheln. Ich hoffe, dass ich schnell wieder ein neues Zuhause finde, denn hier gefällt es mir natürlich nicht so gut. Ich bin ja auch nicht mehr der Jüngste und suche deshalb schnell ein neues Zuhause. Viel Trubel mag ich gar nicht. Kleine Kinder mag ich auch nicht gerne. Ich wünsche mir einfach ein ruhiges Zuhause. Also, wenn ihr noch einen ruhigen Kater sucht, dann meldet euch doch im Tierheim. Euer Blacky

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Blacky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Blacky?
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 Blacky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Blacky 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 Blacky 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 Blacky 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 Blacky 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.
