Flip

Male · Adult · 6 years

Hello, I am Flip, I came here as a found animal but no one misses me. At first, I was very shy and wouldn't let anyone near me. Now, however, I've been bribed with treats and have realized that people aren't so bad. If I know the people, I enjoy being stroked, but only when I want to. When I'm done, I'll show you. How I get along with other cats is still not known. But I think an ideal home for me would be one with 24/7 outdoor access. Maybe a human as a door opener would suffice if you don't have a cat flap. Children should be old enough and understand cat language a little so there are no misunderstandings. So, if you have a lovely shelter in a rural, quiet location and are looking for a great tomcat, call my foster parents and arrange a meet and greet.

Hallo, ich bin der Flip, hierher kam ich als Fundtier aber niemand vermisst mich. Anfangs war ich sehr schüchtern und hab niemanden an mich herangelassen. Inzwischen wurde ich aber mit Leckerchen bestochen und habe gemerkt, dass die Menschen gar nicht so übel sind. Wenn ich die Menschen kenne, lasse ich mich gerne streicheln und genieße es, aber nur, solange ich möchte. Wenn ich genug habe, zeige ich Euch das. Wie ich mit anderen Katzen klar komme, weiß man noch nicht genau. Ich denke aber, ein Zuhause für mich alleine mit 24/7 Zugang nach draußen wäre ideal. Wahrscheinlich würde mir ein Mensch als Türöffner aber auch genügen, wenn Ihr keine Katzenklappe habt. Kinder sollten, wenn, schon größer sein und die Sprache der Katzen ein wenig beherrschen, damit es da keine Missverständnisse gibt. Also wenn Ihr eine schöne Bleibe in ländlicher, verkehrsberuhigter Lage habt und einen tollen Kater sucht, ruft schnell bei meinen Pflegern an und macht einen Kennenlerntermin aus. Bis bald, Euer Flip

About Flip

What life with Flip looks like

Flip is a adult 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 Flip, answered.

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