Leon

Male · Senior · 13 years

Hello, I am Leon. I came here to the animal shelter as a found animal. At first, I was very reserved and found people quite scary. Now, however, I even let my familiar people pet me and I really enjoy it. I am developing into a real snuggle bug. Despite all this, I am still very reserved and unsure, and I like to hide in caves. Therefore, I wish for a home where it is very quiet and there should be no small children, as they are simply too loud and wild for me. Of course, I would like to be released back into the outdoors later and have fresh air in my nose, maybe then I will also bring you a few gifts from outside ;-). I get along with other cats well depending on the relationship, but they shouldn't be too wild. Come and visit me soon and get to know me. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin Leon. Ich kam als Fundtier hier ins Tierheim. Anfangs war ich sehr zurückhaltend und fand Menschen ziemlich gruselig. Inzwischen lasse ich mich aber von mir vertrauten Personen sogar streicheln und genieße dies sehr. Ich entwickele mich noch zu einer richtigen Schmusebacke. Trotz allem bin ich noch immer sehr zurückhaltend und unsicher und verstecke mich gerne in Höhlen. Daher wünsche ich mir ein Zuhause in dem es sehr ruhig ist und es sollte dort keine kleinen Kinder geben, die sind mir einfach zu laut und wild. Natürlich möchte ich später wieder in den Freigang und mir dort frische Luft um meine Nase wehen lassen, vielleicht bringe ich Dir dann auch ein paar Geschenke von draußen mit ;-). Mit anderen Katzen verstehe ich mich je nach Sympathie gut, allerdings sollten diese nicht zu wild sein. Kommt mich bald besuchen und lernt mich kennen. Bis bald, euer Leon

About Leon

What life with Leon looks like

Leon 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 Leon, answered.

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