Emmi

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 14 years

Emmi lebt gemeinsam mit Elsa schon viele Jahre bei uns und hatte leider bisher kein Glück bei der Suche nach einem Zuhause. Sie ist eine zurückhaltende und ruhige Katze, die sich bei Besuch von Fremden leider schnell versteckt, weswegen bisher keine Anfragen für sie kamen. Die hübsche Seniorin versteht sich super mit Elsa, wurde aber von manchen anderen Katzen schnell Mobbing-Opfer. Sie würde gerne gemeinsam mit Elsa in ein ruhiges Zuhause ziehen. Bis dahin braucht sie dringend Paten! Von unseren Pflegern lässt sich Emmi liebend gerne streicheln, auch das Spielen mit Katzenangeln findet sie toll und rennt trotz ihres Alters richtig herum, wenn sie mal ihre “5 Minuten” hat. Ihre restlichen Zähne mussten im August 2025 entfernt werden, womit sie allerdings super klar kommt. Auch Trockenfutter und Leckerlies kann sie weiterhin fressen. Ihre Nierenwerte waren nach der OP leider etwas schlecht, weshalb wir auf Nierenfutter umgestellt haben. Im September 2025 waren ihre Nierenwerte bereits deutlich besser. Wir geben ihr trotzdessen noch täglich Nierenfutter und sie ist total fit.

About Emmi

What life with Emmi looks like

Emmi is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ludwigshafen in Germany.

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 Emmi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Emmi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Ludwigshafen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Emmi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Emmi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein 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 Emmi 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 Emmi 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 Tierschutzverein Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Emmi 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.
