Adopt Rhea

Female · Adult · 5 years

Rhea was found and has never been missed. After some investigations, we suspect why. Rhea needs medication for her pancreas and has tested positive for feline coronavirus. Rhea absolutely dislikes other cats and even small children should not live in her new home. She decides when she wants to come for cuddles. Rhea wishes to be a house cat with a cat-safe netted balcony. For Rhea, we are looking for sensitive people with patience who are willing to also carry her health issues. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Rhea wurde gefunden und nie vermisst. Warum wissen wir vermutlich nach einigen Untersuchungen. Rhea braucht Medikamente für die Bauchspeicheldrüse und ist positiv auf das feline Coronavirus getestet. Rhea mag absolut keine anderen Katzen und auch Kleinkinder sollten nicht in ihrem neuen Zuhause leben. Sie entscheidet gerne selbst, wann sie zum schmusen kommt. Rhea wünscht sich ein Zuhause als Wohnungskatze mit vernetztem Balkon. Für Rhea suchen wir einfühlsame Menschen mit Geduld, die bereit sind auch ihre gesundheitlichen Probleme mit zu tragen.

About Rhea

What life with Rhea looks like

Rhea is a small adult cat waiting at Tierheim Nürnberg in Nuremberg.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires medication for pancreatic issues and is positive for feline coronavirus

🇩🇪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 Rhea, answered.

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