Redneck

Female · Adult · 7 years

Redneck is a gray tabby female cat with a gentle nature and a desire for a peaceful home. She currently lives at a feeding station in Gross-Gerau, where she is part of a group of cats – but unfortunately, she is often pushed aside or bullied by the others. Redneck clearly shows that she seeks closeness and security with humans. She now allows herself to be petted, enjoys the affection, and actively seeks contact with familiar people. She would so much like to belong – she even shows great interest in going into the house through the cat door. However, the other cats do not allow this. In 2020, Redneck was neutered as part of a spaying campaign, a cooperation between Artgerecht Tierschutz e.V. and the Landestierschutzverband Hessen, and has since remained at her feeding station. There, she has built trust and learned that humans mean well. Her movements sometimes seem a bit clumsy, likely due to an old injury, but she gets along wonderfully: she can climb, play, and hunt just like any other cat. For Redneck, we wish for a quiet home where she can first acclimate indoors and feel safe. After this adjustment period, if the environment is suitable, she should also be allowed to have outdoor access again. It is important that there are no dominant cats in her new home, as she prefers to live in peace and thrives when not pressured by others. Redneck truly deserves to finally find her own place – a home where she is welcome, can enjoy closeness, and simply be herself. We want to spare our animals long journeys and hope for inquiries within a radius of up to 100 kilometers.

Redneck ist eine graugetigerte Katzendame mit einem sanften Wesen und dem Wunsch nach einem friedlichen Zuhause. Sie lebt derzeit an einer Futterstelle in Groß-Gerau, wo sie Teil einer Katzengruppe ist – doch dort wird sie leider oft von den anderen verdrängt oder gemobbt. Dabei zeigt Redneck ganz deutlich, dass sie Nähe und Geborgenheit beim Menschen sucht. Sie lässt sich inzwischen streicheln, genießt die Zuwendung und sucht aktiv den Kontakt zu vertrauten Personen. Sie würde so gerne dazugehören – sie zeigt sogar großes Interesse daran, durch die Katzenklappe ins Haus zu gehen. Doch die anderen Katzen lassen das leider nicht zu. Redneck wurde 2020 im Rahmen einer Kastrationsaktion, einer Kooperation zwischen Artgerecht Tierschutz e.V. und dem Landestierschutzverband Hessen, kastriert und ist seither an ihrer Futterstelle geblieben. Dort hat sie Vertrauen aufgebaut und gelernt, dass Menschen ihr Gutes wollen. Ihre Bewegungen wirken manchmal etwas tapsig, vermutlich durch eine ältere Verletzung, doch sie kommt wunderbar zurecht: Sie kann klettern, spielen und jagen wie jede andere Katze. Für Redneck wünschen wir uns jetzt ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sie zunächst im Haus ankommen und sich in Sicherheit eingewöhnen darf. Nach dieser Eingewöhnungszeit sollte sie – wenn die Umgebung passt – auch wieder Freigang haben dürfen. Wichtig ist, dass sie in ihrem neuen Zuhause keine dominanten Katzen um sich hat, da sie lieber in Ruhe lebt und den Menschen gegenüber aufblüht, wenn sie nicht bedrängt wird. Redneck hätte es so sehr verdient, endlich ihren eigenen Platz zu finden – ein Zuhause, in dem sie willkommen ist, Nähe zulassen darf und einfach sie selbst sein kann. Wir möchten unseren Tieren lange Fahrstrecken ersparen und hoffen auf Anfragen im Umkreis von max. 100 Kilometern.

About Redneck

What life with Redneck looks like

Redneck is a large adult cat waiting at Artgerecht Tierschutz e.V. in Langen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Redneck, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Redneck?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Artgerecht Tierschutz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Redneck on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Redneck if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Artgerecht Tierschutz e.V. 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 Redneck 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 Redneck 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 Artgerecht Tierschutz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Redneck 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.
