Louie

Female · Senior · 16 years

A lady who knows what she wants; Louie! The pretty little lady is relatively fit despite her advanced age. She loves to cuddle, but only when it suits her. Otherwise, she can definitely assert herself when she doesn't want something. Of course, you have to support her with grooming, especially as she gets older and can't clean herself as well. A dental check-up may still be pending, but then nothing will stand in the way of the new home. Louie knows how to live with a dog and various cats. We don't know how she reacts to strange cats, but she won't mind an older tomcat. Louie can move out alone or with her buddy Lysander.

DE·Show original

Eine Dame die weiß was sie will; Louie! Die hübsche kleine Lady ist trotz ihres gehobenen Alters relativ fit. Sie schmust unglaublich gerne, aber nur dann wenn es ihr in den Kram passt. Sonst kann sie sich durchaus durchsetzen wenn sie etwas nicht will. Bei der Fellpflege muss man sie natürlich immer wieder unterstützen, vor allem wenn sie sich mit steigendem Alter nicht mehr so gut selbst putzen kann. Eventuell steh noch eine Zahnsanierung an, aber dann steht dem neuen Zuhause nichts mehr im Weg. Louie kennt das Zusammenleben mit einem Hund und verschiedenen Katzen. Wie sie auf fremde Katzen reagiert, wissen wir noch nicht, gegen einen älteren Kater wird sie aber nichts einzuwenden haben. Louie kann alleine oder mit ihrem Kumpel Lysander ausziehen.

About Louie

What life with Louie looks like

Louie is a senior cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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 Louie, answered.

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