Adopt Ronald

Male · Adult · 5 years

Ronald is an exceptionally affectionate tomcat who wins hearts immediately with his charming personality. He greets his people joyfully at the door and showers them with affection. Anyone who meets him instantly feels what a loyal and gentle companion he is. Ronald has many endearing qualities: he is easy-going, friendly, and enjoys being close to his people. When it comes to food, he is selective but in an endearing way – he only eats grain-free and loves both meat and fish. Surprisingly, he also has a soft spot for chickpeas. He likes to spend time on the balcony, enjoying the sun and fresh air, but prefers the milder hours of the day. Strong sunlight or high heat makes him uncomfortable, as his sensitive eyes start to burn. Ronald is a very loving tomcat who gets along well with other cats and even dogs. He is now neutered, dewormed, and tested negative for FIV. Ronald was born around June 2023 and is still in Spain. He was found in October 2023, dirty and with sunburned skin. Now he is doing well and is healthy. Ronald is a very sociable, yet partly independent tomcat. He has beautiful light brown eyes. In his foster home, he quickly won the hearts of everyone and loves to curl up next to his foster mom, rubbing his face against her. He also loves to play with water. Since he gets along well with other cats and dogs, he would like to have feline company of about the same age in his new home. He especially gets along well with his little friend Fiona at the foster home. He would be happy with a secure outdoor area. Unfortunately, it turned out that he cannot tolerate regular wet food and pâtés. However, he tolerates home-cooked meat and fish very well. A grain-free food has now been found that he can eat without any problems. Upon entry, Ronald will be vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, and microchipped. The tests for FIV and FeLV were already negative. He will be a loyal companion if given the chance. Who will give him this chance?

Ronald ist ein außergewöhnlich liebevoller Kater, der mit seinem charmanten Wesen sofort das Herz erobert. Er begrüßt seine Menschen jedes Mal freudig an der Tür und überschüttet sie mit Zuneigung. Wer ihn kennenlernt, spürt sofort, was für ein treuer und sanfter Gefährte er ist. Ronald hat viele liebenswerte Eigenschaften: Er ist unkompliziert, freundlich und genießt die Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Beim Futter ist er wählerisch, aber auf eine sympathische Art – er frisst ausschließlich getreidefrei und liebt sowohl Fleisch als auch Fisch. Auch Kichererbsen stehen bei ihm überraschend hoch im Kurs. Er verbringt gerne Zeit auf dem Balkon, um Sonne und frische Luft zu genießen, bevorzugt jedoch die milderen Stunden des Tages. Bei starker Sonne oder großer Hitze fühlt er sich unwohl, da seine empfindlichen Augen dann zu brennen beginnen. Ronald ist ein sehr liebevoller Kater, der sich sehr gut mit anderen Katzen und auch Hunden versteht. Er ist mittlerweile kastriert, entwurmt und negativ auf FIV getestet. Ronald wurde circa im Juni 2023 geboren und befindet sich noch in Spanien. Er wurde im Oktober 2023 schmutzig und mit von der Sonne verbrannter Haut gefunden. Mittlerweile geht es ihm wieder gut und er ist soweit gesund. Ronald ist ein sehr geselliger, aber auch teilweise eigenwilliger Kater. Er hat wunderschöne hellbraune Augen. Auf seiner Pflegestelle hat er gleich die Herzen erobert und schläft gerne zusammengerollt neben seiner Pflegemama und reibt das Gesicht an ihr. Mit Wasser spielt er sehr gerne. Da er sich mit anderen Katzen und Hunden gut versteht, wünscht er sich im neuen Zuhause Katzengesellschaft im etwa gleichen Alter. Besonders gut versteht er sich auf der Pflegestellt mit seiner kleinen Freundin Fiona. Über gesicherten Freigang würde er sich freuen. Leider stellte sich heraus, dass er normales Nassfutter und Pasteten nicht verträgt. Selbstgekochtes Fleisch und auch Fisch verträgt er aber sehr gut. Mittlerweile wurde ein getreidefreies Futter gefunden, dass er ohne Probleme verträgt. Bei Einreise ist Ronald geimpft, kastriert, entwurmt und gechippt. Die Tests auf Fiv und FeLV fielen bereits negativ aus. Er wird ein treuer Begleiter sein, wenn man ihm die Chance schenkt. Wer schenkt ihm diese Chance?

About Ronald

What life with Ronald looks like

Ronald is a large adult cat waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. in Germany.

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 Ronald, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ronald?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ronald on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ronald if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Aktion Tierisch Happy 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ronald 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 Ronald 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 Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ronald 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.
