How do I contact the shelter about Cornelius?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigshafen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cornelius on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Cornelius if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigshafen 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 Cornelius 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 Cornelius 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 Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cornelius 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.

Cornelius

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

Cornelius - a little treasure is looking for a home ❤️ Our handsome black and white EKH cat Cornelius was born around 2014 and is already one of the more settled gentlemen. But what he may lack in youthful exuberance, he makes up for with his wonderful nature. Cornelius is simply a little treasure. 🥰 He is sweet, calm and loves it when his humans take time for him. He adores petting - preferably cozy and without a lot of fuss. For people who want a relaxed and cuddly cat companion, Cornelius could be just the right one. Of course, Cornelius also brings one or two health issues with him due to his age. He is an asthmatic and currently requires treatment several times a day. He is also a thyroid patient and receives medication for this. The good thing about it: Cornelius takes his medication very uncomplicated - it works really well over his food. ❤️ We wish Cornelius a quiet home in apartment keeping, where he can enjoy his twilight years and his humans understand that regular medical care is part of his daily routine. What does Cornelius give back for this? A lot of love, peace and grateful cuddling hours. 🐾 We wish for Cornelius: 🏡 a quiet home in pure apartment keeping ❤️ People who are happy about a sweet, cuddly and rather quiet cat 💊 People who are willing to continue his necessary treatment reliably 🛋 a cozy place where Cornelius can just arrive and be loved If you would like to get to know him, please click on the "Request cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This is how we receive all the relevant information for an initial conversation in advance.

Cornelius – ein kleiner Goldschatz sucht sein Zuhause ❤️ Unser hübscher schwarz-weißer EKH-Kater Cornelius wurde etwa 2014 geboren und gehört damit schon zu den etwas gesetzteren Herren. Doch was ihm vielleicht an jugendlichem Übermut fehlt, macht er mit seinem wundervollen Wesen mehr als wett. Cornelius ist einfach ein kleiner Goldschatz. 🥰 Er ist lieb, ruhig und genießt es sehr, wenn seine Menschen sich Zeit für ihn nehmen. Streicheleinheiten stehen bei ihm ganz hoch im Kurs – am liebsten gemütlich und ohne viel Trubel. Für Menschen, die sich einen entspannten und verschmusten Katzenpartner wünschen, könnte Cornelius genau der Richtige sein. Natürlich bringt Cornelius aufgrund seines Alters auch das ein oder andere gesundheitliche Thema mit. Er ist Asthmatiker und benötigt derzeit mehrmals täglich eine Behandlung. Außerdem ist er Schilddrüsenpatient und bekommt hierfür Medikamente. Das Schöne daran: Seine Medikamente nimmt Cornelius ausgesprochen unkompliziert – über sein Futter klappt das richtig gut. ❤️ Für Cornelius wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, in dem er seinen Lebensabend genießen darf und seine Menschen Verständnis dafür haben, dass regelmäßige medizinische Versorgung zu seinem Alltag gehört. Was Cornelius dafür zurückgibt? Ganz viel Liebe, Ruhe und dankbare Kuschelstunden. 🐾 Für Cornelius wünschen wir uns: 🏡 ein ruhiges Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung❤️ Menschen, die sich über einen lieben, verschmusten und eher ruhigen Kater freuen💊 Menschen, die bereit sind, seine notwendige Behandlung zuverlässig weiterzuführen🛋️ einen gemütlichen Platz, an dem Cornelius einfach ankommen und geliebt werden darf Wenn Sie ihn kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus.

About Cornelius

What life with Cornelius looks like

Cornelius is a small senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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.
