Machdu

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

I am Machdu! 🐾 I came to the animal shelter as a found animal and currently live here with a few other feline friends in the cat house. Let me tell you, I am the queen! 👑 You want to know why? It's simple, I like to lie at the top of the scratching post. Nobody can bother me there and I have everything under control. 😸 Sometimes there's a little squabbling down there, so I prefer to stay out of it. After all, as a queen, I have better things to do. 😉 I am a rather reserved and cautious cat. But my caregivers come to cuddle with me regularly. When I want to, I can be very sweet and affectionate, sometimes I also show very clearly when I'm not in the mood. I know what I want. 😼 With other cats, I get along depending on my sympathy and I get along well with some of my fellow felines. For my new home, I wish for loving people, a lot of patience and understanding. Also, after a suitable acclimatization period, I absolutely want to get outdoor access to nature, because there is certainly still so much to discover for me. 🌿 Maybe you are the person with whom I can lay down my crown forever. ❤️ If I have piqued your interest, then please contact my caregivers. Just call the animal shelter and arrange an appointment to get to know each other. Your Machdu🐱

Hallo ihr Lieben, ich bin Machdu! 🐾 Ich kam als Fundtier ins Tierheim und lebe hier momentan mit ein paar anderen Artgenossen im Katzenhaus. Ich sage es mal so: Ich bin die Königin! 👑 Ihr wollt wissen, warum? Ganz einfach, ich liege am liebsten ganz oben auf dem Kratzbaum. Dort kann mich so schnell keiner nerven und ich habe gleichzeitig alles ganz genau im Blick. 😸 Unten gibt es manchmal ein kleines Gezicke, da halte ich mich lieber raus. Schließlich habe ich als Königin Besseres zu tun. 😉 Ich bin eher eine zurückhaltende und vorsichtige Katze. Meine Pfleger kommen mich aber regelmäßig kuscheln. Wenn ich möchte, kann ich ganz lieb und verschmust sein, manchmal zeige ich allerdings auch sehr deutlich, wenn mir gerade nicht danach ist. Ich weiß eben, was ich möchte. 😼 Mit anderen Katzen komme ich je nach Sympathie durchaus zurecht und mit einzelnen Artgenossen vertrage ich mich gut. Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir liebe Menschen, viel Geduld und Verständnis. Außerdem möchte ich nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit unbedingt Freigang in die Natur bekommen, denn dort gibt es bestimmt noch so viel für mich zu entdecken. 🌿Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, bei dem ich meine Krone für immer ablegen darf. ❤️ Wenn ich eure Interesse geweckt habe, dann meldet euch doch gerne bei meinen Pflegern. Ruft einfach im Tierheim an und vereinbart einen Termin zum Kennenlernen. Eure Machdu🐱

About Machdu

What life with Machdu looks like

Machdu is a adult european shorthair 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 Machdu, answered.

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