How do I contact the shelter about Rorie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Vaihingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rorie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rorie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Vaihingen 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 Rorie 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 Rorie 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 Tierheim Vaihingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rorie 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.

Rorie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

RORIE, born around 2023, is searching for a quiet forever home. Rorie comes from Ensingen, where she was spotted and fed at the shooting club. Thankfully, she soon fell into the trap and was spayed, preventing another female from producing uncontrolled litters outside. For now, she can stay with us, but later, she will live in your HOME in safety and warmth. She is still very fearful and cannot yet really assess humans. If she is met with calmness, she will even allow cuddles. We hope she grows beyond herself in the cattery with fellow animals and opens up to humans, perhaps even finding a few feline friends. We would like to introduce her to a home with two of us or an already existing (approximately the same age) fellow animal. Rorie has never been in a household and has no experience with everyday sounds like a dishwasher, television, coffee machine, or vacuum cleaner. All these are new impressions for her to learn. Therefore, we also recommend an introduction room for Rorie where she can gradually learn about these new experiences and warm up with her new food openers in peace. After a longer period of getting used to her new environment, we would like to give her a free roam in a quiet setting. This cat needs outdoor access.

RORIE geb. ca. 2023 sucht ein ruhiges Für-immer-Zuhause. Rorie stammt aus Ensingen, dort wurde sie am Schützenverein gesichtet und angefüttert. Zum Glück ging sie bald in die Falle und konnte kastriert werden. Ein weiteres Weibchen, welches draußen unkontrolliert Nachwuchs bekommen hätte. Nun darf sie vorerst bei uns, später in Ihrem DAHEIM in Sicherheit und Wärme leben. Sie ist noch sehr ängstlich und kann uns Menschen noch nicht wirklich einschätzen. Wenn man ihr mit Ruhe begegnet, lässt sie Streicheleinheiten sogar schon zu. Wir hoffen das sie im Katzentrakt mit Artgenossen weiter über sich hinauswächst und uns Menschen gegenüber aufmacht, vielleicht auch ein paar Katzenfreunde findet. Ein Auszug wünschen wir uns zu zweit oder zu einem bereits vorhandenen (ungefähr gleichalten) Artgenossen. Rorie kennt keinen Haushalt und keine Alltagsgeräusche, wie zum Beispiel eine Spülmaschine, Fernseher, Kaffeemaschine oder einen Staubsauger. Es sind alles neue Eindrücke, die sie kennenlernen muss. Deshalb empfehlen wir auch für die liebe Rorie ein Ankommzimmer indem sie diese News gedämpft kennenlernen darf und in Ruhe mit ihren neuen Dosenöffnern warm werden kann. Nach längerer Eingewöhnung wünschen wir uns Freigang in ruhigem Umfeld für sie. Anfragen bitte mit ausgefüllter Selbstauskunft an die Katzenemail!

About Rorie

What life with Rorie looks like

Rorie is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Vaihingen in Vaihingen an der Enz.

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.
