Enrique

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Enrique is a rather quiet and sensitive tomcat who enjoys the proximity to humans but clearly shows when he needs some space. He looks for people who respect his body language and give him the time and freedom he needs. Once Enrique has built trust, he shows himself to be friendly and likes to be near his trusted people. For him, a relaxed environment is important where he can decide for himself when he wants to be close and when he prefers his peace. We wish for Enrique a home as a single cat with access, so he can go on his excursions outside and then retreat to his safe home. If you would like to meet him, please click the "Inquire about Cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way, we can get all relevant information in advance for our first conversation. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Enrique ist ein eher ruhiger und sensibler Kater, der die Nähe zu Menschen durchaus genießt, dabei aber klar zeigt, wann ihm etwas zu viel wird. Er sucht Menschen, die seine Körpersprache respektieren und ihm die Zeit und den Freiraum geben, die er braucht. Hat Enrique Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt er sich freundlich und gerne in der Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen. Dabei ist ihm ein entspanntes Umfeld wichtig, in dem er selbst entscheiden darf, wann er Nähe möchte und wann er lieber seine Ruhe genießt. Für Enrique wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause als Einzelkatze mit Freigang, damit er draußen seine Streifzüge unternehmen und sich anschließend in sein sicheres Zuhause zurückziehen kann. Wenn Sie ihn kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Enrique

What life with Enrique looks like

Enrique is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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 Enrique, answered.

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