Rubi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Rubi appeared on the street in the summer of 2025. He always hid under the parked cars. The animal welfare volunteers in the area were worried about him and brought him to the animal shelter. Rubi is absolutely affectionate and always wants to be petted; he can never get enough of it. Rubi has a dominant temperament, so he should not be placed in a new home with a dominant cat. Otherwise, he gets along well with other cats. Rubi has had a bent tail since birth, but it does not affect him. Unfortunately, Rubi has tested positive for FIV, so he will be placed in a family where there is plenty of time for him or where a cat that is already FIV-positive lives. He will be placed as an indoor cat with a secured balcony. He is neutered, dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested negative for leukosis. He will be placed with a protection contract, a protection fee, and a pre-adoption check. The protection fee makes basic medical care possible for another animal.

Rubi erschien im Sommer 2025 auf der Straße. Er versteckte sich immer unter den parkenden Autos. Die Tierschützer vor Ort hatten Angst um ihn und brachten ihn ins Tierheim. Rubi ist absolut verschmust und will immer gestreichelt werden, er kann gar nicht genug davon bekommen. Rubi ist vom Wesen her domintant, daher sollte im neuen Zuhause keine dominante Katze sein. Ansonsten kommt er mit anderen Katzen gut zurecht. Rubi hat von Geburt an einen verbogenen Schwanz der ihn aber nicht beeinträchtigt. Rubi ist leider FIV positiv getestet, daher wird er auch in eine Familie vermittelt, wo viel Zeit für ihn ist oder eine bereits positive Katze vorhanden ist. Er wird in Wohnungshaltung mit gesicherten Balkon vermittelt. Er ist kastriert, entwurmt, gechipt, geimpft und negativ auf Leukose getestet. Er wird mit Schutzvertrag, Schutzgebühr und Vorkontrolle vermittelt. Von der Schutzgebühr wird wieder einem anderen Tier die medizinische Grundversorgung zu ermöglicht.

About Rubi

What life with Rubi looks like

Rubi is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Daurada 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rubi, answered.

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