Caruso

Male · Adult · 10 years

Update 24.06.2021 Dear animal friends, today another one of our – unfortunately many – concern children was operated on. Caruso was found in Oberwinter on 13.04.21. Unfortunately, he is not only FIV-positive, but also has entropion, which has caused him pain throughout his life. Today, it was finally time: His eyelids were operated on. We are very happy for the dear fellow, but the costs for the many operations are currently causing us great concern. The operation of Caruso cost 454,76€. We would be very grateful for any small donation for the poor fellow! Every euro counts! Hello, I am Caruso. I am a loving tomcat who likes to be stroked by familiar people once in a while. At first, I was a bit shy, but I have settled in well here. Now, I am looking for my forever home. I probably lived outdoors for a long time, and that is also not without its effects on me. I have entropion, which still needs to be looked at by a veterinarian. Additionally, I tested FIV-positive at the animal shelter. Please don't think, however, that you won't have me for long because even FIV-positive cats can live very long. For that, it is important that I am exposed to as little stress as possible. For my new home, I would like kind people who perhaps already have experience with FIV cats and do not expect too much from me. Additionally, I would like to go outside again. I know that because of my illness, that is not possible, which is why it is even more important for me that there might be a secure run or something similar where I can catch a bit of fresh air and observe life outdoors. Come by and get to know me.

Update 24.06.2021 Liebe Tierfreunde, heute wurde ein weiteres unserer - derzeit leider vielen - Sorgenkinder operiert. Caruso wurde am 13.04.21 in Oberwinter gefunden. Leider ist er nicht nur FIV-positiv, sondern hat auch Rolllider, die ihm bisher sein Leben lang Schmerzen bereitet haben. Heute war es nun endlich soweit: Seine Lider wurden operiert. Wir freuen uns sehr für den lieben Kerl, aber die Kosten für die vielen Operationen machen uns derzeit große Sorgen. Die Operation von Caruso kostete 454,76€. Wir würden uns über jede kleine Spende für den armen Kerl freuen! Jeder Euro zählt! Hallo, ich bin Caruso. Ich bin ein lieber Kater, der sich gerne mal von vertrauten Personen streicheln lässt. Am Anfang war ich noch etwas schüchtern, habe mich hier aber gut eingelebt. Jetzt suche ich mein Für-Immer-Zuhause. Ich habe vermutlich lange draußen gelebt, das ist auch nicht spurlos an mir vorbei gegangen. Ich habe Rolllider, die noch von einem Tierarzt angeschaut werden müssen. Außerdem wurde ich im Tierheim FIV positiv getestet. Bitte denkt jetzt aber deswegen nicht, dass ihr nicht lange etwas von mir haben werdet, denn auch Katzen mit FIV können sehr alt werden. Wichtig hierfür ist, dass ich am besten so wenig Stress wie möglich ausgesetzt werde. Für mein neues Zuhause würde ich mir nette Menschen wünschen, die vielleicht schon Erfahrung mit FIV Katzen haben und nicht zu viel von mir erwarten. Außerdem würde ich gerne wieder raus. Ich weiß, dass das wegen meiner Krankheit nicht geht, deswegen ist es mir umso wichtiger, dass es vielleicht einen gesicherten Auslauf oder Ähnliches gibt, wo ich ein bisschen frische Luft schnappen und das Leben draußen beobachten kann. Kommt doch vorbei und lernt mich kennen. Euer Caruso

About Caruso

What life with Caruso looks like

Caruso 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 Caruso, answered.

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