Daniel

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

I am the wonderful Daniel! After some time to settle in here at the cat shelter, I would like to finally introduce myself to you. The most important thing first: I love cuddling! Petting is a must for me in my future home - without cuddles, I just can't do it. I'm actually a very people-oriented and curious cat. However, I withdraw a bit more here at the cat shelter because I'm not quite comfortable with the company of the other cats. That's why I would like to have a place as a single cat in my new home, with my very own favorite humans. I can also imagine living with older children, provided they have learned the right and respectful way to handle cats. Oh yes, there's one more thing... I really want the opportunity to explore the big world outside! Therefore, a home in a quiet, rather rural and traffic-calmed environment would be ideal for me. So if you are looking for a friendly, people-oriented and above all cuddly cat, then I am definitely worth getting to know! If you are interested, just contact my caregivers and arrange a meeting. I look forward to you! Your Daniel

Hallo, ich bin der tolle Daniel! Nachdem ich etwas Zeit hatte, mich hier im Katzenhaus einzuleben, möchte ich mich nun endlich bei euch vorstellen. Das Wichtigste zuerst: Ich liebe es zu schmusen! Streicheleinheiten sind für mich ein absolutes Muss in meinem zukünftigen Zuhause – ohne Kuscheleinheiten geht bei mir einfach gar nichts. Eigentlich bin ich ein sehr menschenbezogener und neugieriger Kater. Hier im Katzenhaus ziehe ich mich allerdings etwas mehr zurück, denn die Gesellschaft der anderen Katzen ist mir nicht ganz geheuer. Deshalb wünsche ich mir in meinem neuen Zuhause am liebsten einen Platz als Einzelkatze, bei meinen ganz eigenen Lieblingsmenschen. Mit älteren Kindern kann ich mir ein Zusammenleben ebenfalls gut vorstellen, vorausgesetzt, sie haben den richtigen und respektvollen Umgang mit Katzen gelernt. Ach ja, eine Sache wäre da noch … Ich wünsche mir nämlich unbedingt die Möglichkeit, die große Welt da draußen zu erkunden! Deshalb wäre ein Zuhause in einer ruhigen, eher ländlichen und verkehrsberuhigten Umgebung ideal für mich. Wenn ihr also auf der Suche nach einem freundlichen, menschenbezogenen und vor allem verschmusten Kater seid, dann bin ich ein Kennenlernen auf jeden Fall wert! Meldet euch bei Interesse einfach bei meinen Pflegern und vereinbart einen Termin zum Kennenlernen. Ich freue mich auf euch! Euer Daniel

About Daniel

What life with Daniel looks like

Daniel is a large senior european shorthair 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 Daniel, answered.

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