Rico, Rubi &Raya

Mixed Breed · Male

Rico, Raya & Rubi Gender: male (Rico), female (Raya, Rubi) Compatibility: all together, as a pair or with an age-matched cat/tom Specials: very anxious The three little ones came to us as found cats with their mother. They are very anxious and reserved. The cats need people who give them a lot of time and patience. You can't pet or touch them. Children should not live in the household because the little ones can use their teeth well. Later, they would like to enjoy outdoor access at all events. All three would like to move out together, as a pair or with a nice age-matched cat/tom. The small ones play very well when they have had some time to get used to the people in the room.

Name: Rico, Raya & Rubi Geschlecht: männlich (Rico), weiblich (Raya,Rubi) Verträglichkeit: alle zusammen, als Pärchen oder zu einer gleichaltrigen Katze/Kater Besonderheiten: sehr ängstlich Die 3 kleinen kamen mit ihrer Mutter als Fundkatzen zu uns. Sie sind sehr ängstlich und zurückhaltend. Die Katzen benötigen Menschen die ihnen sehr viel Zeit und Geduld geben. Streicheln und anfassen kann man sie nicht. Kinder sollten deswegen nicht mit im Haushalt leben, da die kleinen ihre Zähne gut einsetzen können. Später möchten sie aufjedenfall den Freigang genießen dürfen. Gerne würden alle 3 zusammen ausziehen, als Pärchen oder zu einer netten gleichaltrigen Katze/ Kater. Die kleine spielen sehr gerne, wenn sie etwas Zeit hatten sich an den Menschen im Raum zu gewöhnen.

About Rico, Rubi &Raya

What life with Rico, Rubi &Raya looks like

Rico, Rubi &Raya is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. in Recklinghausen.

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 Rico, Rubi &Raya, answered.

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