Romulus

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

The siblings came to us because their owner passed away. They are still very reserved and will need time and patience to build trust. They are 1.5 years old, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. After an adjustment period, they need their usual freedom to roam. They can go to a new home either singly or as a pair. Patty: tricolor, Luna: sable, Kingkong: black, Remus and Romulus: spotted with white. Who would like to give them a new home?

Romulus kam zu uns weil sein Besitzer verstorben ist. Er ist noch sehr zurückhaltend und benötigt Zeit und Geduld, bis er Vertrauen fasst. Romulus ist 1,5 Jahre alt, kastriert, geimpft und gechipt. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit braucht er wieder seine gewohnte Freigangmöglichkeit. Wer möchte ihm eine Chance geben? Wer möchte ihm ein neues Zuhause geben?

About Romulus

What life with Romulus looks like

Romulus is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ulm in Ulm.

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 Romulus, answered.

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