How do I contact the shelter about Ocean?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigshafen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ocean on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ocean if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigshafen 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 Ocean 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 Ocean 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 Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ocean 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.

Ocean

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Ocean is a young, spayed female cat, born around mid-2025. She is currently a bit uncertain around people and needs time to build trust. Those who give her this time and don't pressure her will surely see Ocean thaw out step by step. We are looking for a quiet home for Ocean, where she can arrive at her own pace. She doesn't want other cats around her, so she should be kept as a single cat. After a suitable acclimation period, Ocean would like to enjoy outdoor time again and explore her surroundings. Those who don't expect a shy cat to be "immediately affectionate" and enjoy building trust together could find in Ocean the perfect companion. If you would like to meet her, please click on the "Request Cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This will give us all the relevant information for an initial conversation.

DE·Show original

Ocean ist eine junge, kastrierte Katzendame, die etwa Mitte 2025 geboren wurde. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sie sich aktuell noch etwas unsicher und braucht daher Zeit, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Wer ihr diese Zeit gibt und sie nicht bedrängt, wird mit Sicherheit erleben, wie Ocean Schritt für Schritt auftaut. Für Ocean suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf. Andere Katzen möchte sie nicht um sich haben, daher sollte sie als Einzelkatze gehalten werden. Nach einer entsprechenden Eingewöhnungszeit möchte Ocean gerne wieder Freigang genießen und ihre Umgebung erkunden. Wer eine etwas zurückhaltende Katze nicht als „sofort verschmust“ erwartet, sondern Freude daran hat, gemeinsam Vertrauen aufzubauen, könnte in Ocean genau die richtige Begleiterin finden. Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Ocean

What life with Ocean looks like

Ocean is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
