Adopt Muffin

Maine Coon · Female · Adult · 8 years

Hello, I am the sweet Muffin! Together with my friend Milka, we were left behind in the apartment after a move and were almost starved. Fortunately, neighbors alerted the authorities, and we were rescued and brought to the animal shelter. There, I arrived completely matted and undernourished, but the caretakers have cared for me so tenderly, fattened me up, and examined me. I was also neutered and vaccinated. Now I am ready to search for a new "forever" home. However, I do have a small flaw – apparently, my tail was broken multiple times in the past and looks a bit odd. I have been checked by the vet and X-rayed, but unfortunately, not much can be done about it. So far, I seem to be managing well with my small disability. I am a very loving cat, initially a bit cautious but actually very cuddly and people-oriented. In my previous life, I was probably a house cat, but I would love to explore the outside world. I could also imagine moving into a home with a secured balcony with a playmate. If you are interested, feel free to contact the animal shelter and arrange a visit!. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Hallo, ich bin die süße Muffin! Zusammen mit meiner Freundin Milka wurde ich nach einem Umzug in der Wohnung zurückgelassen und wäre dort fast verhungert. Glücklicherweise haben Nachbarn die Behörden darauf aufmerksam gemacht und wir konnten gerettet und ins Tierheim gebracht werden. Dort kam ich dann völlig verfilzt und unterernährt an, aber die Pfleger haben sich rührend um mich gekümmert, mich aufgepäppelt und untersucht. Kastriert und geimpft wurde ich auch schon. Jetzt bin ich bereit, nach einem neuen "Für-immer"-Zuhause zu suchen. Eine kleine Macke habe ich allerdings - anscheinend ist irgendwann in der Vergangenheit mein Schwanz mehrfach gebrochen und sieht etwas merkwürdig aus. Ich wurde vom Tierarzt durchgecheckt und geröntgt, leider kann man da aber nicht viel machen. Bisher scheine ich gut mit meiner kleinen Behinderung zurecht zu kommen. Ich bin eine ganz liebe Katze, anfangs zwar etwas vorsichtig aber eigentlich sehr verschmust und menschenbezogen. In meinem früheren Leben war ich wahrscheinlich eine Wohnungskatze, würde aber gerne mal die Welt da draußen erkunden. Ich könnte mir aber auch vorstellen, zusammen mit einem Spielkameraden in eine Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon zu ziehen. Wenn ich Euer Interesse geweckt habe, meldet Euch doch gerne im Tierheim und macht einen Besuchstermin aus! Eure Muffin

Frequently asked

Adopting Muffin, answered.

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