Blacky

Male · Adult · 10 years

Hello, I am Blacky. I was taken out of my old home by an employee here. It wasn't very nice there at all. They say here it was a Messi household and I can be glad that I'm here now. I am very glad to be here in this big cat shelter with so much space and order. I am very picky about my food; every morning, different things are placed in front of me, and I can choose what I want to eat. I am a loving tomcat who, however, sometimes likes to retreat in new situations or when meeting strangers. Once my trust is won, though, I might even let someone pet me. For my new home, I would very much like some freedom. I also wouldn't mind having a new friend or companion, who could show me that it's not so bad to come out and snuggle on my own sometimes. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin Blacky. Ich wurde von den Mitarbeiterin hier aus meinem alten Zuhause raus geholt. Dort war es garnicht schön. Die Leute hier sagen immer es war ein Messi Haushalt und ich kann froh sein, dass ich jetzt hier bin. Das bin ich auch. Hier im großen Katzenhaus ist so viel Platz und Ordnung. Ich bin sehr wählerich beim Futter, jeden Morgen bekomme ich verschiedenes hingestellt und kann mich dann entscheiden was ich essen möchte. Ich bin ein lieber Kater, der aber in neuen Situaionen oder bei fremden Menschen, gerne mal auf Rückzug geht. Wenn man aber erstmal mein vertrauen gewonnen hat, dann lasse ich mich auch mal schmusen. Für mein neues Zuhause würde ich mich sehr gerne Freigang wünschen. Gegen einen neuen Freund oder Freundin hätte ich auch nichts einzuwenden. Die könnte mir dann auch zeigen, dass es nicht schlimm ist einfach mal von selber raus zu kommen und zu schmusen. Euer Blacky

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a large 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 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.
