Romy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Romy, who is actually called Mia, was renamed because there are so many Mias at the shelter. Romy gave birth to her kittens in Romania under terrible conditions. To add to her misery, she was attacked by a large animal when the kittens were only one day old. But Romy was brave and defended her kittens, getting severely injured in the process. She was taken to a veterinary clinic with her kittens, and after months, everything has healed and been forgotten, and the kittens are now grown. A tourist who loves animals saw everything and brought Romy to Germany. However, due to her job, she is constantly traveling and cannot keep Romy. The Katzenhilfe has agreed to take the cat and find her a good and loving home. Romy is estimated to be about 1 1/2 years old, is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She is a real cuddly cat, very loving and affectionate. She has a good and honest character, is completely uncomplicated and adaptable. She also loves to be held and carried around. She gets along with other cats, but doesn't really care for their company. Romy also gets along with calm and loving dogs. We are looking for a large apartment with a secure balcony for the beautiful, loving cat. However, she doesn't want to be alone all day without another social cat/dog, or you are not working full-time. Romy can also move in with you if you let her roam free, as she can find her friends outside. However, the area should be cat-friendly and not have a dangerous street nearby.

Romy heißt eigentlich Mia, aber da es derzeit so viele Mias gibt wurde sie kurzerhand auf Romy umgetauft. Romy hat in Rumänien unter schlimmen Bedingungen ihre Babys auf die Welt gebracht. Zu all dem Elend wurde sie auch noch von einem anderen großen Tier angegriffen als die Babys erst 1 Tag alt waren. Aber Romy war todesmutig und hat ihre Babys verteidigt, dabei wurde sie schwer verletzt. Sie kam mit Babys in eine Tierklinik und heute nach Monaten ist alles längst verheilt und vergessen und die Babys sind schon groß. Eine tierliebe Touristin hat alles mitbekommen und Romy mit nach Deutschland gebracht. Berufsbedingt ist sie aber ständig verreist und kann Romy nicht behalten. Die Katzenhilfe hat sich dann bereit erklärt, die Katze aufzunehmen und ihr endlich ein gutes und liebevolles Zuhause zu suchen. Romy wird auf ca. 1 1/2 Jahre geschätzt, sie ist kastriert, geimpft und gechipt. Und eine echte Schmusekatze, sehr lieb und anhänglich. Sie hat einen guten und ehrlichen Charakter, ist völlig unkompliziert und anpassungsfähig. Im Arm liegen und rumgetragen werden findet sie auch prima. Mit anderen Katzen kommt sie zwar aus, legt aber keinen großen Wert auf dessen Gesellschaft. Mit lieben und ruhigen Hunden kommt Romy auch zurecht. Für die hübsche, liebe Katze suchen wir eine große Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon. Da möchte sie aber nicht den ganzen Tag nur alleine sein ohne andere soziale Katze/Hund oder Sie sind nicht den ganzen Tag berufstätig. Bei Freilauf kann Romy auch alleine bei Ihnen einziehen, denn dann kann sie sich ihre Freunde draußen suchen. Die Gegend sollte aber katzengerecht sein und keine gefährliche Straße in der unmittelbaren Nähe sein.

About Romy

What life with Romy looks like

Romy is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V..

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V. 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 — Katzenhilfe Stuttgart 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V. 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.
