Murmel

Female · Senior · 17 years

Hello, I am Murmel. I came here to the animal shelter as a found animal. There isn't much to say about me yet. I'm still quite shy and don't want to be handled just yet. Maybe I'll let some trusting people pet me later. I'm also not the youngest anymore, so I would like to move into a quiet household where I can settle in without stress. Otherwise, I don't have high expectations. For my new home, I would prefer a quiet run around, as I already come from outdoors. I wouldn't want any small children in my new home, as I'm a bit afraid of them. So, if you're looking for a roommate without high expectations, then get in touch with the animal shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin Murmel. Ich kam als Fundtier hier ins Tierheim. Zu mir kann man noch nicht allzu viel sagen. Ich bin noch recht scheu und möchte mich auch noch nicht anfassen lassen. Vielleicht lasse ich mich später mal von vertrauen Personen streicheln. Ich bin auch nicht mehr die jüngste, deswegen möchte ich unbedingt in einen ruhigen Haushalt einziehen, wo ich mich in Ruhe und ohne Stress einleben kann. Ansonsten habe ich keine hohen Ansprüche. Ich würde mir für mein neues Zuhause ruhigen Freigang wünschen, da ich schon von draußen komme. Kleine Kinder würde ich mir für mein neues Zuhause nicht wünschen, da ich etwas Angst vor ihnen habe. Also, wenn ihr noch einen Mitbewohner ohne hohe Ansprüche sucht, dann meldet euch doch im Tierheim. Eure Murmel

About Murmel

What life with Murmel looks like

Murmel 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Murmel, answered.

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