How do I contact the shelter about Garfield?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Garfield on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Garfield if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. 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 Garfield 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 Garfield 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 Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Garfield 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.

Garfield

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

NAME0 *10.05.2025: NAME0 and his brother Pamuk were dropped off with us for private reasons. In their old home, they could walk around in a protected courtyard, so we would like them to have a house or a large apartment (with an enclosed balcony) with plenty of space to play and run in the new home. Both tomcats have been presented to the vet and are dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. Children can be in the new home, as long as they handle animals responsibly. NAME0 is braver than his brother Pamuk, but he also takes his time to assess the situation. However, if you lure him out with treats or a toy fishing rod, he will come out, purr around your legs, and loves to be stroked everywhere. Unfortunately, NAME0 only has one eye, which he had removed as a kitten. It doesn’t hinder his adventures; he jumps and plays just like any other kitten. It doesn’t affect him at all. For this reason, we also do not want a free roam. Other fellow animals in the new home wouldn’t be a problem, as long as the two kittens get enough attention and time for cuddle sessions. The foster home in Bonn looks forward to kind interested parties. foster home: G.W. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Garfield *10.05.2025: Garfield und sein Bruder Pamuk wurden aus privaten Gründen bei uns abgegeben. In ihrem alten Zuhause konnten sie in einem beschützten Hof ihre Runden drehen, deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie auf jeden Fall ein Haus oder eine große Wohnung (eingenetztem Balkon) mit viel Platz zum Toben und Spielen. Beide Kater wurden dem Tierarzt vorgestellt und sind entwurmt, gechipt, geimpft und kastriert. Im neuen Zuhause können gerne auch Kinder sein, die vernünftig mit Tieren umgehen. Garfield ist mutiger als sein Bruder Pamuk, er peilt allerdings auch erst die Lage, aber wenn man ihm mit Leckerlie oder Spiel Angel aus seinem Versteck gelockt hat, kommt er heraus, schnurrt einem um die Beine und mag gerne überall gestreichelt werden. Garfield hat leider nur ein Auge, dass er als Kitten entfernt bekam. Es hindert ihn aber nicht an seinen Abenteuern, er springt und spielt wie jedes andere Kätzchen. Es beeinträchtigt ihn überhaupt nicht. Aus diesem Grund möchten wir auch keinen Freigang. Andere Artgenossen im neuen Zuhause wären kein Problem, Hauptsache die zwei Jungkater bekommen genug Aufmerksamkeit und Zeit für Kuschelstunden sind vorhanden. Die Pflegestelle in Bonn freut sich auf nette Interessenten. Pflegestelle: G.W. Bonn

About Garfield

What life with Garfield looks like

Garfield is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. in Schalkenbach.

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.
