Envy

British Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Update 20.12.2025: The little Envy is still waiting for a home! He's getting braver, today he even let himself be combed thoroughly. Hello, do you still recognize me? I'm Envy and I was recently rehomed. Unfortunately, the children in the family (I'm very sensitive) made me feel afraid, so I was under stress and showed protest behavior. My owners have tried a lot to get me used to them and give me time to get used to children - unfortunately, that didn't help and they had to reluctantly return me to this breed. What else can I tell you about myself? I'm a cautious and friendly tomcat, now looking for a nice and quiet home without children. I'm still a bit skeptical towards people, especially at first. But once I get used to you, I'll become braver and, with a lot of patience, will also let the caretakers stroke me. It would be nice if you could offer me some retreat options at first, such as scratching posts or caves covered with blankets. Then I can get used to my new environment in peace and settle in with you. In the future, I would like to have the opportunity for a rural and traffic-calmed walk. Do you want to meet me? Then contact my caretakers at our area!. This cat needs outdoor access.

Update 20.12.2025: Der kleine Envy wartet immer noch auf ein Zuhause! Er wird immer mutiger, heute hat er sich sogar mal richtig durchkraulen lassen. Hallo, kennt ihr mich noch? Ich bin Envy und wurde vor kurzem vermittelt. Leider haben mir die Kinder (ich bin sehr sensibel) in der Familie Angst gemacht, ich stand deshalb unter Stress und habe Protestverhalten gezeigt. Meine Besitzer haben einiges versucht, um mich besser einzugewöhnen und mir Zeit zu geben, mich an Kinder zu gewöhnen - leider hat das aber nicht geholfen und sie haben mich schweren Herzens zurück ins Tierheim gegeben. Was kann ich euch noch über mich erzählen? Ich bin ein vorsichtiger und netter Kater, der nun ein schönes und ruhiges Zuhause sucht - ohne Kinder. Menschen gegenüber bin ich noch ein bisschen skeptisch - besonders am Anfang. Wenn ich mich aber erst einmal an euch gewöhnt habe, werde ich mutiger und lasse mich mit viel Geduld auch von den Pflegern streicheln. Es wäre schön, wenn ihr mir anfangs einige Rückzugsmöglichkeiten durch z.B. mit Decken abgehängte Kratzbäume oder Höhlen bietet. Dann kann ich mich ganz in Ruhe an meine neue Umgebung gewöhnen und erstmal bei euch ankommen. In Zukunft möchte ich gerne die Möglichkeit zum ländlichen und verkehrsberuhigten Freigang bekommen. Ihr wollt mich mal kennenlernen? Dann meldet euch gerne bei meinen Pflegern im Tierheim! Euer Envy

About Envy

What life with Envy looks like

Envy is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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 Envy, answered.

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