Esprit

British Shorthair · Female · Adult · 8 years

Hello you two-leggeds, I am the nice and cuddly Esprit, a real dream cat, one could say! I ended up in the animal shelter because I probably fell into the hands of a known animal trafficker via the internet. Like many other animals, I've already become a wandering cup at four years old. That has to change now! I want a forever home and as soon as possible. Here in the cat house, I find the other cats quite silly. I am a princess and would prefer to have my kingdom all to myself. However, I love people and their attention. I am very fond of being petted and snuggled, and with children in my new home who are a bit more calm, I wouldn't have any problems either. Just because I am a BKH (likely referring to a breed or a specific condition) doesn't mean I want to live as a house cat. After a settling-in period, I want to keep my beautiful fur in the fresh air and explore the gardens of the neighborhood. So, you two-leggeds. If you can offer me a suitable home, give my tins a ring and make an appointment to meet me.

Hallo ihr Zweibeiner, ich bin die nette und verschmuste Esprit, eine echte Traumkatze könnte man sagen! Ich kam ins Tierheim, da ich wahrscheinlich übers Internet in die Hände einer den Pflegern bekannten Tierhändlerin geraten bin. Wie so viele Tiere, bin ich schon mit meinen vier Jahren zu einem Wanderpokal geworden. Das muss sich jetzt ändern! Ich will ein Für-Immer-Zuhause und zwar schnellstmöglich. Hier im Katzenhaus finde ich die anderen Katzen ziemlich doof. Ich bin eben eine Prinzessin und hätte mein Reich gerne für mich allein. Umso mehr liebe ich die Menschen und ihre Aufmerksamkeit. Schmusen und streicheln lasse ich mich sehr gerne, mit ruhigeren Kindern in meinem neuen Zuhause hätte ich mit Sicherheit auch kein Problem. Nur weil ich eine BKH bin, heißt das aber nicht, dass ich als Stubenhocker leben möchte. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit möchte ich meinen schönen Pelz in die frische Luft halten und die Gärten der Nachbarschaft erkunden. So, ihr Zweibeiner. Wenn ihr mir ein passendes Zuhause bieten könnt, klingelt doch mal bei meinen Dosenöffnern durch und macht einen Termin aus, um mich kennenzulernen. Bis bald Eure Esprit

About Esprit

What life with Esprit looks like

Esprit is a 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 Esprit, answered.

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