Ronny &#8211

European Shorthair · Male

Ronny hatte viel Pech im Leben. Ursprünglich kam er als scheuer Fundkater zu uns, im Tierheim gab es dann die Diagnose der Epilepsie. Nach zwei Jahren hatte sich dann doch ein Zuhause gefunden, welches er nun aber vor kurzem wieder verloren hat. Nun sitzt er wieder bei uns und wir hoffen, dass es diesmal nicht so lange sein muss. Ronny hat inzwischen zwei weitere Diagnosen bekommen: Arthrose und eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion. Er ist momentan mit allen Medikamenten gut eingestellt und die Verabreichung klappt mit einer Routine sehr gut. Epileptische Anfälle hat er etwa ein Mal im Monat. Generell ist Ronny ein sehr ruhiger und gemütlicher Kater. Durch seine Arthrose springt er nicht und möchte auch nicht viel Action, aber beschäftigt wird er trotzdem gern. Obwohl er sich nicht gerne anfassen lässt, genießt er die Anwesenheit seiner Streichler, freut sich über Leckerchen und erkundet mit großem Interesse neue Dinge. Er ist also nicht per se ängstlich. In der letzten Zeit finden sogar Annäherungsschritte von seiner Seite aus statt. Ronny legt nicht viel Wert auf die Nähe zu anderen Katzen, könnte sich mit diesen aber arrangieren, wenn sie ihn in Ruhe lassen. Aufgrund seiner Erkrankungen wird Ronny nur in die Wohnungshaltung vermittelt. Für Ronny suchen wir dringend eine Pflegestelle, End-Stelle (Kostenübernahme durch das Tierheim wird persönlich besprochen) und auch Paten, die uns bei den Medikamenten- und Tierarztkosten unterstützen.

About Ronny &#8211

What life with Ronny &#8211 looks like

Ronny &#8211 is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Gütersloh in Gütersloh.

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 Ronny &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ronny &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Gütersloh handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ronny &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ronny &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Gütersloh 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 Ronny &#8211 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 Ronny &#8211 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 Tierschutzverein Gütersloh early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ronny &#8211 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.
