Romy

Female · Adult · 7 years

Hello, I am Romy. Before I came to the animal shelter as a found animal, I lived outdoors for a long time, unneutered, with many others. Now I have settled in well, I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, but I still don't quite know what to think of people. I am very reserved and have not yet allowed myself to be stroked. If you pressure me too much, I might also bite. Since I came from outdoors, I would really like it if I could go back outside again after an adjustment period in my new home. I would like my new owners to take a lot of time to help me with the adjustment and to show me that maybe being stroked isn't so bad. Please don't expect me to be lying on your lap after just one week; it will take a bit longer. But once the ice is broken, I am definitely a great companion. I could certainly get along with a social second cat. Small children should not live in my new home. I could also imagine a new home as a mouse catcher. Come by and get to know me.

Hallo, ich bin Romy. Bevor ich als Fundtier ins Tierheim kam, habe ich lange unkastriert, mit vielen anderen, draußen gelebt. Mittlerweile habe mich gut eingelebt, bin kastriert, geimpft und gechippt, aber ich weiß noch nicht so recht, was ich von Menschen halten soll. Ich bin sehr zurückhaltend und lasse mich noch nicht streicheln. Wenn man mich zu sehr bedrängt, kann ich auch mal zulangen. Da ich von draußen komme, fände ich es super, wenn ich in meinem neuen Zuhause, nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit, auch wieder raus darf. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass sich meine neuen Besitzer ganz viel Zeit nehmen, um mir die Eingewöhnung zu erleichtern und die mir zeigen, dass es vielleicht doch ganz schön ist, gestreichelt zu werden. Bitte erwartet nicht von mir, dass ich gleich nach einer Woche auf eurem Schoß liege, das wird schon ein bisschen länger dauern. Wenn das Eis aber erst einmal gebrochen ist, bin ich bestimmt ein toller Begleiter. Mit einer sozialen Zweitkatze hätte ich sicherlich kein Problem. Kleine Kinder sollten in meinem neuen Zuhause nicht leben. Ein neues Zuhause als Mäusefänger könnte ich mir auch gut vorstellen. Kommt doch vorbei und lernt mich kennen. Eure Romy

About Romy

What life with Romy looks like

Romy is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Romy, answered.

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