Josie

Female · Adult · 5 years

Hello, I am Josie, I was dropped off at the animal shelter together with my brother Sparky because our owners are having a baby and it's become too much for us. Now, without my brother, I am searching for a new home where I can enjoy my free time. Older children are no problem for me. I am very cuddly and love cuddles, but I also need to be able to retreat if it gets too much for me. In my old home, I had a secure balcony where I could enjoy the beautiful days, and I would like not to miss this in my new home. After my settling-in period, I would like to become an outdoor cat again. If you are interested, please contact my foster parents at this breed animal shelter in our area. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Hallo, ich bin die Josie, ich bin zusammen mit meinem Bruder Sparky hier im Tierheim abgegeben worden, da unsere Besitzer ein Baby bekommen haben und uns das zu viel wurde. Jetzt suche ich, auch ohne meinen Bruder, ein neues Zuhause, in dem ich meine freie Zeit genießen kann. Größere Kinder sind für mich kein Problem. Ich bin sehr verschmust und liebe Streicheleinheiten, aber möchte mich auch zurückziehen können, wenn es mir zu viel wird. In meinem alten Zuhause hatte ich einen gesicherten Balkon auf dem ich die schönen Tage genießen konnte, dies möchte ich in meinem neuen Zuhause nicht missen und würde gerne nach meiner Einlebungszeit wieder eine Freigängerin werden. Wenn ich Euer Interesse geweckt habe, dann meldet Euch doch bei meinen Pflegern im Tierheim. Eure Josie

About Josie

What life with Josie looks like

Josie 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 Josie, answered.

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