Petro

Male · Senior · 22 years

Hello, I am Petro. I am allowed to introduce myself again. I found a home, but the existing tomcat did not like me. Now I am searching for a home where I can be a lone prince. I would love it if my new people are always there for me and I do not have to be alone, as I do not like being alone. So far, I have only lived in the apartment, but I would be delighted to sometimes also walk through the grass in the garden with my old paws and warm my old bones in the sun, but only with a secure release where nothing can happen to me. What I totally love is when my new people let me sit at the table with them while eating. I find that as a family member, I should also be allowed to sit at the table. At first, I am a bit reserved, but I also enjoy being stroked and really enjoy that. Small children should not live in my new home, as the chaos would be nothing for an old grandpa like me. If you have a quiet, warm spot for a nice old grandpa like me, make a quick appointment with my foster parents to meet me. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin Petro. Ich darf mich hier nochmal vorstellen. Ich hatte ein Zuhause gefunden, allerdings mochte mich der bereits vorhandene Kater nicht. Jetzt suche ich ein Zuhause wo ich ein Einzelprinz sein darf. Ich fände es toll, wenn meine neuen Menschen immer für mich da sind und ich nicht alleine bleiben muss, da ich nicht gerne alleine bin. Bisher habe ich immer nur in der Wohnung gelebt, würde mich aber freuen ab und zu auch mal mit meinen alten Pfoten durch das Gras im Garten zu laufen und meine alten Knochen in der Sonne wärmen zu können, aber nur mit gesichertem Freigang, wo mir nichts passieren kann. Was ich total toll finde ist, wenn mich meine neuen Leute beim Essen mit am Tisch sitzen lassen. Ich finde als Familienmitglied, sollte ich auch mit am Tisch sitzen dürfen. Anfangs bin ich etwas zurückhaltend, lasse mich dann aber auch gerne streicheln und genieße das sehr. Kleine Kinder sollten in meinem neuen Zuhause nicht wohnen, der Trubel wäre nichts mehr für einen alten Opa wie mich. Wenn ihr ein ruhiges, warmes Plätzchen für einen netten alten Opi wie mich habt, macht schnell einen Termin zum kennen lernen bei meinen Pflegern aus. Euer Petro

About Petro

What life with Petro looks like

Petro 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.

🇩🇪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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Petro, answered.

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