How do I contact the shelter about Riley?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Riley on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Riley if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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 Riley 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 Riley 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 u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Riley 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.

Adopt Riley

British Shorthair · Male · Senior · 16 years

Hi! We know and still not! I was named Riley, but I've since taken on my nickname "Eule." It stems from the fact that when I first moved in, I was always wide-eyed: "WAAAS?!? ALLES was new, foreign, and exciting for me. It must be that at 10 years old, suddenly everything changes! Spaying, vet visits, dental work, worming/flea treatment, pain medication... HELP!! I am the living proof that "street life" is absolutely not a cakewalk. I am marked by many, many altercations. I have a yellow-blue and a blue (blind) eye, so I am visually impaired. I have FIV (Feline AIDS), had many teeth extracted, and my fur was in no good condition. That has changed significantly. At first, I stood out a lot due to my street manners. For example, I almost finished the entire food bowl, eating everything I could get my paws on as quickly as possible. With some teeth missing and being older, I need a can opener to make my wet food small enough. I still love to eat a lot (every day food?? unbelievable), but now I'm more civilized. I am absolutely house-trained, it doesn't draw me outside, but I'm still in combat mode when I meet other cats... "Sorry"! Unfortunately, I can't retract my claws anymore, which can be a nuisance if I get stuck. But I manage with that. But what I also offer: I am the best end-of-day buddy you could wish for! I love cuddling, I enjoy fur grooming (you brush, I enjoy ;-)), I like being stroked, I like to talk and chat with you a lot, even if you don't understand my answers right away (that will come!). I like to play and I love treats (please small and soft) and if you let me: lying on your lap and watching TV... haach! If you need an Eule, come and visit me at the foster home. If you have cat experience and like feisty felines, apply, I'm very looking forward to you!

Hi! Wir kennen und noch nicht! Ich wurde Riley getauft, aber ich höre inzwischen auf meinen Spitznamen "Eule". Der stammt daher, dass ich Anfangs nach dem Einzug immerzu nur noch die Augen aufgerissen habe:" WAAAS?!? ALLES war neu, fremd und aufregend für mich. Das muss man 10 Jahre alt werden und dann geht plötzlich die Post ab! Kastrieren, Augenarzt, Zahnarzt Wurm/ Floh/ Schmerzmittel Impfung…HILFE!! Ich bin der lebende Beweis dafür, dass das "Leben auf der Straße" absolut kein Zuckerschlecken ist. Ich bin gezeichnet von vielen, vielen Revierkämpfen. Ich habe ein gelb blaues und ein blaues (=blindes) Auge, bin also sehbehindert. Ich habe FIV (Katzenaids), musste viele Zähne hergeben, mein Fell war in keinem guten Zustand. Das hat sich inzwischen sehr geändert. Anfangs fiel ich sehr wegen meinen Straßenmanieren auf. Ich habe z.B. beinahe den ganzen Fressnapf leer gefressen, so hastig habe ich alles geschluckt was ich kriegen konnte. Da mir einige Zähnchen fehlen und ich ja schon älter bin, brauche ich einen Dosenöffner, der mir das Nassfutter klein macht. Ich fresse immer noch viel zu gerne (jeden Tag Futter?? unglaublich), aber inzwischen manierlich. Ich bin absolut stubenrein, es zieht mich nicht mals nach draußen, allerdings - bin ich immer noch im Kampfmodus, wenn ich auf andere Katzen treffe..."Tschuldigung"! Leider kann ich auch meine Krallen nicht mehr einziehen, das ist lästig, wenn ich mal wieder hängen bleibe. Aber damit komme ich gut klar. Was ich aber auch noch im Angebot habe: Ich bin der beste Feierabendkumpel, den Du dir wünschen kannst! Ich liebe kuscheln, ich genieße Fellpflege (du bürstet, ich genieße ;-)), ich mag streicheln, ich rede gerne und viel mit dir, auch wenn du meine Antworten nicht gleich verstehst (das kommt schon noch!). Ich spiele gerne und ich liebe Leckerlis (bitte klein und weich) und wenn du mich lässt: auf dem Schoß liegen und Fernsehen... haach! Brauchst du´ne Eule, besuche mich doch mal auf der Pflegestelle. Wenn du Katzenerfahrung hast und charakterstarke Rabauken magst, bewerbe Dich, ich warte sehr auf Dich! Gruß Riley
