Ginger

Female · Senior · 21 years

Hello, I am Ginger. I was dropped off here at the animal shelter because my owner could no longer take care of me. I am a bit shy but can be stroked by familiar people. I am more laid-back and calm on the go, as I am not exactly the youngest anymore. Here at the animal shelter, I have settled in quite well, but of course, I would like to find a real home quickly. I don't need any more chaos and am looking for a quiet and relaxed home. Loud noises and dogs scare me, so I prefer to run away. I get along well with other cats by sympathy, but I would also be happy to be an older, friendly female cat living alone. Maybe someone out there would like to give an older, kind female cat a home, then get in touch with the animal shelter. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Hallo, ich bin Ginger Ich wurde hier im Tierheim abgegeben, weil sich meine Besitzerin nicht mehr um mich kümmern konnte. Ich bin etwas schüchtern, lasse mich aber von vertrauten Personen gerne streicheln. Ich bin eher etwas ruhiger und gemütlich unterwegs, da ich ja auch nicht mehr die Jüngste bin. Hier im Tierheim habe ich mich mittlerweile ganz gut eingelebt, möchte aber natürlich schnell ein richtiges Zuhause finden. Viel Trubel und Aktion brauch ich nicht mehr und suche dementsprechend auch ein ruhiges und entspanntes Zuhause. Laute Geräusche und Hunde mag ich gar nicht, da ergreife ich lieber die Flucht. Mit anderen Katzen komme ich nach Sympathie gut klar. Ich hätte aber auch nichts dagegen eine Einzelprinzessin zu sein. Vielleicht möchte ja jemand da draußen einer älteren, freundlichen Katzendame ein Zuhause schenken, dann meldet Euch doch im Tierheim. Eure Ginger

About Ginger

What life with Ginger looks like

Ginger is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Ginger, answered.

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