Daku

Male · Senior · 11 years

Hello, I'm the awesome Daku. I was dropped off here at the animal shelter. First, I underwent a thorough check-up. They removed some tartar and did a big blood test. Once it was confirmed that I was in good health, I moved into the cat house and immediately captured the attention of my new caretakers. I'm a great, very people-oriented and neutered tomcat. Sometimes, my people are even more important to me than the yummy food they give me. I also like to climb onto their shoulders, although I still need to learn to keep my claws in when doing so. When it comes to cuddling, I'm very careful. Towards other cats, I'm a bit reserved but still friendly. Originally, I came from a suitable-for-apartment-living home, but for my new home, I would love a secure roam or an enclosed balcony so I can catch a bit of fresh air. So, if my interest has piqued yours, just get in touch with the animal shelter and get to know me!. This animal was surrendered to the shelter. This cat needs outdoor access. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Hallo, ich bin der tolle Daku. Ich wurde hier im Tierheim abgegeben. Da wurde ich dann erstmal gründlich untersucht. Es wurde Zahnstein entfernt und ein großes Blutbild gemacht. Nachdem dann geklärt war, dass es mir gut geht, durfte ich hier ins Katzenhaus ziehen und habe gleich meine neuen Pfleger in Beschlag genommen. Ich bin ein toller, sehr menschenbezogener und verschmuster Kater. Manchmal sind mir meine Menschen sogar wichtiger als das leckere Futter, was mir gereicht wird. Auf Schultern klettere ich auch gerne, dabei muss ich aber noch lernen, meine Krallen drinnen zu lassen. Sonst bin ich aber beim Kuscheln sehr vorsichtig. Anderen Katzen gegenüber bin ich etwas zurückhaltend, aber lieb. Ursprünglich komme ich aus einer Wohnungshaltung, würde mir für mein neues Zuhause aber gerne gesicherten Freigang oder einen umnetzten Balkon wünschen, damit ich mal ein bisschen frische Luft schnappen kann. Also, wenn ich Euer Interesse geweckt habe, meldet Euch doch einfach hier im Tierheim und lernt mich kennen! Euer Daku

About Daku

What life with Daku looks like

Daku is a large senior cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Daku, answered.

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