Moon

Male · Young · 1 year

Moon comes from a larger group of cats. The animals were not spayed or neutered, so the group eventually grew so large that the owners decided to give the animals away. Moon is naturally a bit shy at the moment. He still watches carefully what people are doing and hides behind his siblings. He needs a little time and affection, then he will learn that people are friendly and you can also play great with them. Moon has only known indoor living so far. If you want to offer him outdoor access, the living situation must be quiet accordingly. In the new home, a young cat/tom should be waiting for him, for play sessions, cuddle time and shared adventures. He came to us together with Bella and Tillmann, he gets along well with both and could move out with one of them. At the time of departure, Moon is spayed/neutered, microchipped and treated against parasites. He is happy to receive visitors at the foster home and is looking forward to people who want to give a loving cat a nice home. PS A.S. Wachtberg

DE·Show original

Moon stammt aus einer größeren Katzengruppe. Die Tiere waren nicht kastriert und so wurde die Gruppe schließlich so groß, dass die Besitzer sich entschlossen haben, die Tiere abzugeben. Moon ist natürlich im Moment noch etwas eingeschüchtert. Er beobachtet noch vorsichtig, was die Menschen so treiben und versteckt sich hinter seinen Geschwistern. Er braucht ein bisschen Zeit und Zuneigung, dann wird er lernen, dass Menschen freundlich sind und man auch toll mit ihnen spielen kann. Moon kennt bisher nur Wohnungshaltung. Falls man ihm Freigang anbieten möchte, muss die Wohnsituation entsprechend ruhig sein. Im neuen Zuhause sollte ein/e ebenfalls junge Katze/Kater auf ihn warten, für Spielrunden, Kuschelzeit und gemeinsame Abenteuer. Er kam zusammen mit Bella und Tillmann zu uns, mit beiden versteht er sich gut und könnte mit einem von beiden zusammen ausziehen. Bei Auszug ist Moon kastriert, gechipt und gegen Parasiten behandelt. Er empfängt auf der Pflegestelle gerne Besuch und freut sich auf Menschen, die einem lieben Kater ein schönes Zuhause geben wollen. PS A.S. Wachtberg

About Moon

What life with Moon looks like

Moon is a young adult cat waiting at Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. in Schalkenbach.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Moon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Moon?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Moon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Moon if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Moon 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 Moon 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 Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Moon 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.
