Rhone

Female

Rhone is a cat from our “River Group” (see also Seine and Thames). She and her friends come from a feral population and were initially very aloof. However, Rhone in particular is gradually gaining more trust and can already be quite easily bribed with treats. With time and patience, she’s also getting better and better at letting people touch her—and with enough patience, she could even develop into a real cuddle cat. Since she’s never lived without other cats, we’re looking for a home for Rhone with an already established, confident male cat. A shared...

Rhone ist eine Katze aus unserer „Fluss-Gruppe“ (siehe auch Seine und Themse). Sie und ihre Freunde stammen aus einem Wildbestand und waren anfangs sehr abweisend. Besonders Rhone fasst aber immer mehr Vertrauen und lässt sich teils schon sehr gut mit Leckerlies bestechen. Auch anfassen klappt nach und nach immer besser und mit der nötigen Geduld könnte sie sich noch zu einer richtigen Schmusekatze entwickeln. Da sie nie ohne Artgenossen gelebt hat, suchen wir für Rhone ein Zuhause bei einem bereits vorhandenen souveränen Kater. Eine gemeinsame

About Rhone

What life with Rhone looks like

Rhone is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

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 Rhone, answered.

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