How do I contact the shelter about Farah?

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 Farah on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Farah 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 Farah 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 Farah 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 Farah 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.

Farah

Female · Senior · 14 years

Hello, I am Farah. I came to the animal shelter as a found animal. For a long time, I limped around on a farm with a serious injury, where no one attended to my wound. I had such intense pain that it was terrible. Then someone discovered me and alerted the animal shelter. They rescued me and treated my old injury. Because I limped around with this injury for so long, I will never be able to walk normally again. Fortunately, I no longer have any pain, it just looks a bit comical when I walk. I've never had a real home, so I'm still very wary of people. I don't let anyone touch me and prefer to observe what people are doing from a distance. Unfortunately, my old life hasn't passed me by. To my lameness, I also have FIV (Cat AIDS). But don't worry, even with FIV, I can still live a long life. I'm unfortunately no longer allowed to have a proper outdoor run, but I would really wish for a secure garden or a large balcony in my new home. Additionally, my home should be as quiet and free of chaos as possible, as stress isn't good for me. Maybe out there, someone can show me that I can trust you humans. Then I might let someone pet me, but don't expect too much from me. So if someone wants to give me a chance, please contact the animal shelter.

Hallo, ich bin Farah. Ich kam als Fundtier hier ins Tierheim. Lange lief ich verletzt auf einem Hof herum, wo sich keiner um meine Verletzung gekümmert hat. Ich habe so starke Schmerzen gehabt, dass war schrecklich. Dann hat mich aber jemand entdeckt und das Tierheim alarmiert. Sie haben mich gerettet und meine alte Verletzung versorgt. Dadurch, dass ich so lange mit dieser Verletzung rum gelaufen bin, werde ich auch nie mehr normal laufen können. Ich habe zum Glück keine Schmerzen mehr, es sieht halt nur komisch aus, wenn ich laufe. Ich hatte noch nie ein richtige Zuhause, deswegen sind mit Menschen auch noch sehr unheimlich. Ich lasse mich noch nicht anfassen und beobachte lieber aus der Ferne, was die Menschen so treiben. Leider ist mein altes Leben nicht spurlos an mir vorbei gegangen. Zu meinen Gangfehler kommt auch noch dazu das ich FIV (Katzenaids) habe. Aber keine Sorge, auch wenn ich FIV habe, kann ich sehr alt werden. Ich darf leider keinen richtigen Freigang mehr haben, aber ich würde mir so sehr wünschen, dass ich in meinem neuen Zuhause ein gesicherten Garten oder großen Balkon habe. Außerdem sollte mein Zuhause möglichst ruhig und ohne Trubel sein, da Stress nicht gut für mich ist. Vielleicht gibt es ja da draußen jemanden, der mir zeigen kann, dass ich euch Menschen vertrauen kann. Dann würde ich mich bestimmt auch mal streicheln lassen, aber erwartet nicht zu viel von mir. Also wenn mir jemand eine Chance geben will, dann meldet euch doch im Tierheim. Eure Farah
