Melly

Female · Senior · 17 years

Hello, I am Melly. I was brought here because I got a bit dirty when a second cat joined our family. When I arrived, I was of course checked by the vet. It was determined that I have a thyroid overfunction. I need to take a tablet once a day, but I always mix it with my food, so that’s no problem. Otherwise, I am completely healthy. Here, I am a bit reserved at first, but I also let myself be stroked by familiar people. I definitely want to be a single princess and do not need a friend. If something doesn’t suit me, I show it. I would also like some free roam. I already had a screened balcony from my old home, where I enjoyed spending time. Due to my age, I am also a bit more calm, but if someone is looking for a quiet cat that doesn’t require much, but will definitely snuggle up, then get in touch with this breed at our area. This animal was surrendered to the shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin Melly. Ich wurde hier abgegeben, weil ich unsauber wurde, als eine zweite Katze zu uns gezogen ist. Als ich hier angekommen bin, wurde ich natürlich erstmal vom Tierarzt durchgecheckt. Da wurde festgestellt, dass ich eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion habe. Ich muss deswegen einmal am Tag eine Tablette bekommen, aber die fresse ich immer in meinem Futter mit, dass ist kein Problem. Ansonsten bin ich völlig gesund. Hier bin ich noch etwas zurückhaltend, aber bei vertrauten Personen lasse ich mich auch mal streicheln. Ich will auf jeden Fall eine Einzelprinzessin sein, denn eine Freundin brauche ich nicht. Wenn mir etwas nicht passt, dann zeige ich das auch. Freigang würde ich mir auch wünschen. Ich kenne von meinem alten Zuhause schon einen gesichterten Balkon, da habe ich mich auch ganz gerne mal aufgehalten. Aufgrund meines Alters bin ich auch schon etwas ruhiger, aber wenn jemand eine ruhige Katze sucht, von der man nicht zu viel erwartet, die sich aber bestimmt mal schmusen lässt, dann meldet euch doch im Tierheim. Eure Melly

About Melly

What life with Melly looks like

Melly 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

Frequently asked

Adopting Melly, answered.

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