Camillo

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 10 years

lieb und ruhig, verteilt schon mal einen Liebesbiss - weiter unten lesen Sie mehr Über Camillo Camillo, so haben wir den vor dem Tierheim einfach abgeladenen Kater genannt. Leider war der/die frühere Katzenbesitzer/in nicht in der Lage ein paar Angaben, wie Namen, Alter etc. zu machen. Wir finden das immer sehr traurig, denn wenn man ein Tier – und somit auch eine gewissen Verantwortung – hat, sollte man doch den Mut besitzen und dem Tier eine faire Chance geben und sein Alter, den Namen, die Eigenarten etc. zu nennen. Wir reißen niemand den Kopf ab! Nun versuchen wir ein neues Zuhause für Camillo zu finden. Es könnte sein, dass er nur in der Wohnung gelebt hat. Er ist freundlich und lässt sich gerne streicheln, gibt aber auch schon mal einen Liebesbiss ab, daher sollte man schon Erfahrung mit Katzen haben und anhand der Zeichen die Katzen geben, wissen, wann man mal aufhört zu streicheln. Wir suchen ruhige Katzenfreunde (einzeln oder auch als Paar), die Camillo ein liebevolles Zuhause geben. Wir denken, dass er ein einer ausreichend großen Wohnung (ca. 80qm) mit gesichertem Balkon happy wäre, aber sicherlich auch nichts gegen Freigang in einer ruhigen Gegend hätte.

About Camillo

What life with Camillo looks like

Camillo is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Camillo, answered.

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