Irena

Female · Adult · 8 years

Hello, I am Irena. I come from another animal welfare association and am now here. Not much is known about my past. I was probably a mother at one point and lived in a shelter where I received food. I didn't have much to do with people, so I am not used to being touched and prefer to avoid contact. Maybe that will change with the right people. I have settled in well here and get along well with the other cats. For my new home, I would like to have some roam-free time again, as I do come from outdoors. Otherwise, I don't have many demands. I just want a home where I can settle in in peace without being pushed too much. Maybe I could have a feline friend, but that is not a must. Come by and take a look at me. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin Irena. Ich komme von einem andern Tierschutzverein und bin nun hier. Über meine Vergangenheit weiß man nicht viel. Ich war wohl schon einmal Mutter und habe bei einem Stall gelebt, wo ich Futter bekam. Mit Menschen hatte ich nie viel zu tun, deswegen lasse ich mich auch noch nicht anfassen und meide den Kontakt lieber. Vielleicht wird sich das ja bei den richtigen Menschen noch ändern. Ich habe mich hier gut eingelebt und verstehe mich auch gut mit den anderen Katzen hier. Für mein neues Zuhause würde ich mir wieder Freigang wünschen, da ich ja schon von draußen komme. Ansonsten habe ich keine großen Ansprüche. Ich möchte einfach ein Zuhause in dem ich mich in Ruhe einleben kann, ohne zu viel bedrängt zu werden. Vielleicht auch einen Katzenfreund, aber das ist kein Muss. Kommt doch vorbei und schaut mich an. Eure Irena

About Irena

What life with Irena looks like

Irena is a large 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 Irena, answered.

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