Ruby

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

>Ruby ist eine wunderschöne weiße BKH-Katzendame, geboren im September 2023, und wurde durch einen anderen Tierschutzverein zu uns übernommen. Sie ist eine ganz besondere Traumkatze, die mit ihrem lieben Wesen schnell alle Herzen erobert. Ruby ist sehr lieb, verschmust und einfach eine rundum unkomplizierte Katze. Sie mag eigentlich alles und genießt sowohl die Nähe zu ihren Menschen als auch die schönen Dinge des Katzenlebens. Mit ihrer freundlichen und entspannten Art macht sie es ihren Menschen leicht, sich in sie zu verlieben. Für Ruby können wir uns sowohl ein Zuhause als Einzelkatze als auch als Zweitkatze vorstellen. Ob sie mit einem anderen Artgenossen zusammenleben möchte, müsste man nach Sympathie entscheiden. Bei einem passenden Katzenkumpel wäre eine Vergesellschaftung durchaus vorstellbar.

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Oberhausen in Oberhausen.

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 Ruby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ruby?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Oberhausen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ruby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ruby if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhilfe Oberhausen 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 Ruby 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 Ruby 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 Katzenhilfe Oberhausen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ruby 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.
