Ronja und Rübe

European Shorthair · Male

Ronja and her brother Rübe are slowly searching for their forever home. The two were found with their wild mother in a garden in Cologne-Rondorf. They have settled well in the foster home and are very attached to each other. At this age, they are typical playful and chaotic. They are initially shy around strangers but warm up relatively quickly. You can't resist treats. We are looking for a home for them in an apartment, preferably with a secure balcony. They are still wary of small children, but patient older children should not be a problem for them. The two are already vaccinated and dewormed multiple times.

Auch Ronja und ihr Bruder Rübe sind so langsam auf der Suche nach ihrem Für-immer-Zuhause. Die beiden wurden gemeinsam mit ihrer wilden Mutter in Köln-Rondorf in einem Garten gesichert. Sie haben sich auf der Pflegestelle gut eingelebt und hängen sehr aneinander. Inzwischen sind die beiden typisch für ihr Alter verspielt und chaotisch. Bei Fremden sind sie anfangs noch etwas schüchtern, tauen aber relativ schnell auf. Schleckpaste kann man halt nur schwer widerstehen. Wir suchen für die beiden ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, gerne mit gesicherten Balkon. Kleine Kinder sind den beiden noch unheimlich, geduldige ältere Kinder sollten kein Problem für sie sein. Die zwei sind bereits geimpft und mehrfach entwurmt. Eine

About Ronja und Rübe

What life with Ronja und Rübe looks like

Ronja und Rübe is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Straßenkatzen Köln e.V. in Köln.

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 Ronja und Rübe, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ronja und Rübe?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Straßenkatzen Köln e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ronja und Rübe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ronja und Rübe if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Straßenkatzen Köln 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 Ronja und Rübe 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 Ronja und Rübe 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 Straßenkatzen Köln e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ronja und Rübe 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.
