Joscha

Male · Senior · 20 years

Hello, here is the sad Joscha! Once I had a great home in Sinzig. I roamed around all day and had all the cats in the neighborhood under my control. But then the flood came and my can opener managed to save himself and me just in time, for which I am very grateful. In his distress, he brought me to a friend, where it did not even suit me to have a sofa. So I quickly escaped and fought my way through for a whole 3 months completely on my own. On October 22, 2021, a fellow animal lover finally discovered me and I was caught with a trap. Then the animal shelter called my dad, and he visited me here at the animal shelter. I immediately recognized him and he cried terribly because he cannot take me to his new apartment and because I have become so thin. It is awful for such an old outdoor cat to be here in the animal shelter, who was always an independent tomcat. Please get me out of here quickly, I cannot handle living with the young vegetables!

Hallo, hier ist der traurige Joscha! Einst hatte ich ein tolles Zuhause in Sinzig. Ich bin den ganzen Tag durch die Gegend gestreunert und hatte alle Katzen in der Nachbarschaft im Griff. Doch dann kam die Flut und mein Dosenöffner konnte sich und mich noch gerade so retten, wofür ich ihm sehr dankbar bin. In seiner Not hat er mich zu einem Bekannten gebracht, wo es mir überhaupt nicht gefallen hat, da gab es nicht mal ein Sofa. Also bin da schnellstmöglich abgehauen und habe mich ganze 3 Monate völlig alleine durchgekämpft. Am 22.10.21 hat mich dann endlich eine Tierfreundin entdeckt und ich wurde mit einer Falle eingefangen. Dann hat das Tierheim meinen Papa angerufen und er hat mich hier im Tierheim besucht. Ich habe ihn sofort erkannt und er hat schrecklich geweint, weil er mich in seine neue Wohnung nicht mitnehmen darf und weil ich so dünn geworden bin. Hier im Tierheim ist es grauselig für so einen alten Freigänger, der immer Einzelkater war. Bitte holt mich hier schnellstens raus, ich halte das Zusammenleben mit dem jungen Gemüse nicht aus! Euer Joscha

About Joscha

What life with Joscha looks like

Joscha 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 Joscha, answered.

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