Adopt Romy

European Shorthair · Female

Sorry, but... uh... I'm very shy around people. I do meow at them now when I want food, but I’m pretty much the picture next to the word “shy” in your dictionaries. Still, over the years, I’ve learned more about you and show myself more often. By the way, my name is Romy. With other cats, it’s a different story; I need them, as I’m a very social cat, indeed!

Ent… entschuldige, aber, äh… ich bin sehr schüchtern, wenn es um Menschen geht. Ich mauze sie mittlerweile an, wenn ich Futter will, aber ich bin einfach das, was neben dem Begriff „schüchtern“ in euren Wörterbüchern abgebildet ist. Trotzdem, über die Jahre habe ich schon mehr über euch gelernt und zeige mich öfter. Übrigens, mein Name ist Romy. Bei anderen Katzen sieht es auch anders aus, die brauche ich, bin ja eine sehr soziale Katze, jawohl! Wenn ich mit jemandem hier mit in dein neues Zuhause ziehen dürfte wäre das natürlich genial, aber kein muss, dann solltest du aber schon wenigstens e

About Romy

What life with Romy looks like

Romy is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Romy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Romy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Meine Katzenstation 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 — Meine Katzenstation 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 Meine Katzenstation 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.
