Onyx

British Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Hello, I am the cute Onyx! I came to the animal shelter as a found animal, and since nobody seems to miss me, I am now looking for a new home. I love cuddling so much, I would cuddle all day long! My caretakers say that I am a real bundle of energy. That's why I would like to have the opportunity to explore the world through a supervised outing! So far, I have shown myself to be compatible with the other cats, and being a second cat to bring in is therefore no problem for me. If you are looking for a truly wonderful guy, I am definitely the right one for you! Feel free to contact the animal shelter if you are interested!. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin der hübsche Onyx! Ich kam als Fundtier ins Tierheim und weil mich wohl niemand vermisst, suche ich nun einen neuen Besitzer. Streicheleinheiten finde ich sooo toll, am liebsten würde ich den ganzen Tag kuscheln! Meine Pfleger sagen, dass ich ein echtes Energiebündel bin. Deswegen möchte ich durch verkehrsberuhigten Freigang die Möglichkeit haben, die Welt zu erkunden! Mit den anderen Katzen zeige ich mich bisher verträglich, Als Zweitkatze. einzuziehen ist daher kein Problem für mich. Wenn Ihr also einen rundum tollen Kerl sucht, bin ich bestimmt der Richtige für Euch! Meldet Euch bei Interesse doch gerne im Tierheim! Euer Onyx

About Onyx

What life with Onyx looks like

Onyx is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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 Onyx, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Onyx?
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 Onyx on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Onyx 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Onyx 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 Onyx 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 Onyx 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.
