How do I contact the shelter about Mäuserich?

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 Mäuserich on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mäuserich 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 Mäuserich 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.

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.

Hello, I’m the handsome little mouse-cat! Oh man, I’ve already been through so much in my young life, let me tell you! As soon as I arrived at the animal shelter as a found cat, my caregivers immediately noticed that something was wrong with my gait. So they took me to the vet, where it was diagnosed that I have a patellar luxation in my right hind leg. That means my kneecap has slipped out of place, causing severe pain when I walk. Unfortunately, things weren’t that simple for me... which is why it took no fewer than two surgeries on my leg before everything finally turned out just right. My caretakers say I was incredibly brave during my recovery period. Even though I still find humans pretty scary, I let myself be touched and treated without much resistance. It was almost as if I realized that you bipeds only want to help me. After several months of rest in my crate, I was finally allowed to move into the cat house—yay! Walking without pain for the first time ever—it was amazing! Now I’m finally ready to move into a forever home! Since I come from “outside,” I’d really love to have outdoor access in a more rural setting. I’d certainly make a great farm cat and an awesome mouse catcher, even though I’m still shy and suspicious around people. Of course, I could also join a “normal” household—as long as you’re aware that I’ll need plenty of time and patience to build trust with you humans. Maybe someday I’ll realize that you bipeds are actually quite nice—but maybe I’ll stay shy all my life. So I’m kind of a little surprise package—and if that’s okay with you, then I’m just the right cat for you! Do you already have cats living in your home? No problem—I get along very well with the other cats here at the cat house. So as a second cat, I’d be a perfect match. If you think I’d fit well into your life, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with my foster carers at the animal shelter! Until then, I’ll keep waiting here. Your little mouse-cat

Hallo, ich bin der hübsche Mäuserich! Oh man, hab ich schon viel mitgemacht in meinem jungen Leben, kann ich euch sagen! Kaum bin ich als Fundkater ins Tierheim gekommen, fiel meinen Plegern auch schon auf, dass etwas mit meinem Gangbild nicht in Ordnung ist. Also wurde ich zum Tierarzt gebracht, wo festgestellt wurde, dass ich eine Patellaluxation am rechten Hinterbein habe. Das heißt, dass meine Kniescheibe herausgesprungen ist, was starke Schmerzen beim Laufen verursacht. Leider war die ganze Angelegenheit nicht so einfach bei mir... weshalb es ganze zwei Operationen am Bein gebraucht hat, bis alles so war, wie es letztendlich sein sollte. Ich war in meiner Genesungszeit sehr tapfer, sagen meine Tierpfleger. Obwohl ich euch Menschen noch sehr gruselig finde, habe ich mich ohne große Gegenwehr anfassen und behandeln lassen. Es war ganz so, als ob ich gemerkt habe, dass ihr Zweibeiner mir nur helfen möchtet. Nach einigen Monaten Boxenruhe durfte ich endlich ins Katzenhaus ziehen, juhu! Das erste mal wieder ohne Schmerzen laufen, das war toll! Jetzt bin ich endlich bereit in ein Für-Immer-Zuhause zu ziehen! Da ich von "Draußen" komme, wünsche ich mir unbedingt Freigang in einer eher ländlichen Umgebung. Ich wäre bestimmt eine super Hofkatze & ein toller Mäusefänger, da ich dem Menschen gegenüber noch scheu und misstrauisch gegenüber eingestellt bin. Natürlich kann ich auch in einen "normalen" Haushalt ziehen, solange ihr euch bewusst seid, dass ich viel Zeit und Geduld beanspruche, um Vertrauen zum Menschen aufzubauen. Vielleicht merke ich irgendwann, dass ihr Zweibeiner ganz nett seid - vielleicht bleibe ich aber auch mein Leben lang scheu. Ich bin also ein kleines Überraschungspaket - wenn das für euch in Ordnung ist, bin ich genau der richtige Kater für euch! Ihr habt bereits Katzen, die bei euch im Haushalt leben? Das ist kein Problem, hier im Katzenhaus zeige ich mich sehr verträglich mit den anderen. Als Zweitkatze sollte ich also bestens geeignet sein. Wenn ihr glaubt, dass ich gut in euer Leben passen könnte, dann meldet euch unbedingt bei meinen Pflegern im Tierheim! Bis dahin warte ich hier. Euer Mäuserich
