Rambo

Male · Senior · 13 years

Hello, I am Rambo. I came here to the animal shelter as a found animal. As you can see, I've been through a lot in the past. Now I can leave those days on the streets behind me. At first, I'm a bit shy around people, but that fades quickly once I trust someone. I really enjoy being petted by people I trust. But even better, I love when food is brought to me. I loveee food. What could be better? I always gobble up my big portion right away and could eat more. So, with treats, you can definitely earn my trust. Unfortunately, I contracted FIV on the streets. But don't worry, even though I have FIV (cat AIDS), I can still live a long and happy life. One should not be deterred by the disease. In my new home, of course, I can't have free roam, but I would be very happy to have an enclosed balcony or something similar where I can catch some fresh air and peek at the outside world. So, who out there still wants to give me a beautiful life?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin Rambo. Ich kam als Fundtier hier ins Tierheim. Wie man mir ansehen kann, habe ich in der Vergangenheit schon einiges durchgemacht. Die Tage auf der Straße kann ich nun hinter mir lassen. Ich bin zu Menschen anfangs etwas schüchtern, aber das legt sich schnell, wenn ich Vertrauen gefasst habe. Ich genieße es sehr, von mir vertrauten Personen gestreichelt zu werden. Aber noch besser finde ich es, wenn mir Essen gebracht wird. Ich lieeebe Essen. Was gibt es schöneres? Ich mampfe immer direkt meine große Portion weg und könnte direkt weiter fressen. Also, mit Leckerchen kann man auf jeden Fall mein Vertrauen gewinnen. Leider habe ich mich auf der Straße mit FIV angesteckt. Aber keine Sorge, auch wenn ich FIV (Katzenaids) habe, kann ich sehr alt werden und ein schönes Leben haben. Von der Krankheit sollte man sich auf keinen Fall abschrecken lassen. Freigang darf ich in meinem neuen Zuhause dann natürlich nicht bekommen, aber ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ich einen abgenetzten Balkon oder ähnliches hätte, wo ich frische Luft schnappen und ein bisschen der Welt da draußen zugucken kann. Also, wer da draußen möchte mir nochmal ein schönes Leben schenken? Euer Rambo

About Rambo

What life with Rambo looks like

Rambo is a large 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 Rambo, answered.

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