Romeo

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 14 years

Romeo had to end up at the animal shelter because his owner passed away. He is people-oriented and enjoys every cuddle. He doesn't need other cats to be happy; he keeps to himself quite a bit. Romeo is 14 years old, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He has a thyroid overfunction and needs medication twice a day. Since Romeo was previously an outdoor cat, he should also have a possibility for outdoor access in his new home. Who would like to meet and take in Romeo? Who would like to give him a new home?

DE·Show original

Romeo musste ins Tierheim da sein Besitzer gestorben ist. Er ist menschenbezogen und genießt jede Streicheleinheit. Andere Katzen braucht er nicht zum Glücklichsein, er hält sich bei uns sehr zurück. Romeo ist 14 Jahre alt, kastriert, geimpft und gechipt. Er hat eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion und braucht zweimal am Tag ein Medikament. Da Romeo bisher Freigänger war, sollte er auch im neuen Zuhause eine Freigangmöglichkeit bekommen. Wer möchte Romeo kennenlernen und aufnehmen? Wer möchte ihm ein neues Zuhause geben?

About Romeo

What life with Romeo looks like

Romeo is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ulm in Ulm.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Romeo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Romeo?
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 Romeo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Romeo 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 Romeo 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 Romeo 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 Romeo 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.
