Colby

Male · Adult · 5 years

Hello, I am Colby, now I am already the second time in my young life at the animal shelter???. As a baby, I was here with my siblings and my mom. We all, including me, found a nice home... Unfortunately, the child in my family got sick because of me (allergy). Therefore, I had to come back here unfortunately. Now I am once again on the lookout for a nice home. I would also like to get to know the outside world if I am eventually released. A buddy or a playmate would also be nice, but it doesn't have to be a must if I am later released, then I will find my buddies there. I am very people-oriented, loving, playful, and very cuddly. Children are also very welcome in my new home. So, contact my foster parents and come visit me. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin der Colby, nun bin ich schon zum zweiten Mal in meinem jungen Leben hier im Tierheim????. Als Baby war ich mit meinen Geschwistern und meiner Mama hier. Wir alle, auch ich, haben dann ein schönes Zuhause gefunden... Leider wurde in meiner Familie das Kind wegen mir krank (Allergie). Daher musste ich nun leider wieder hierher. Nun bin ich wieder auf der Suche nach einem schönen Zuhause, gerne würde ich dann später den Freigang kennenlernen, bisher kenne ich die Welt da draußen nur vom Fenster aus. Ein Kumpel oder Mädel zum spielen wäre auch schön, muss aber nicht zwingend sein, wenn ich später raus darf such ich mir dort meine Kumpels. Ich bin sehr menschenbezogen, lieb, verspielt und sehr kuschelbedürftig. Kinder dürfen auch gerne in meinem neuen Zuhause leben. Also, meldet euch euch bei meinen Pflegern und kommt mich besuchen. Bis bald, euer Colby

About Colby

What life with Colby looks like

Colby is a 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 Colby, answered.

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