How do I contact the shelter about Ruby?

Can I adopt Ruby if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u.

Is Ruby 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 Ruby 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 u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ruby and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Ruby

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 5 months

I am the sweet Ruby! My paws are already tingling with excitement at the thought of finally moving into my own new home! So far, I've been able to grow up in the shelter, surrounded by many other kittens. I love playing, eating, and then snuggling up close to my friends. That's what brings me the most joy! That's why I don't want to move out alone, but only with a companion or to a young cat in my new home. I'm very curious and have a lot of energy - "typical kitten behavior," my caregivers would probably say. I especially love playing with cat fishing rods. It's a great way for me to burn off energy and then snuggle into my bed. I find humans interesting, but I need a bit more time to warm up to being touched - as soon as I'm in my new home, I'll definitely open up. If you'd like to meet me and my friends, be sure to contact my caregivers at the shelter. Maybe I'll be able to pack my bags and move into my forever home soon! I'm really looking forward to meeting you! Your Ruby

Hallo, ich bin die süße Ruby! Mir kribbelt es schon vor Aufregung in den Pfoten, wenn ich daran denke, dass ich nun endlich alt genug bin, um in mein eigenes, neues Zuhause zu ziehen! Bisher durfte ich hier im Tierheim behütet aufwachsen – gemeinsam mit ganz, ganz vielen anderen Kitten. Zusammen mit meinen kleinen Freunden toben, spielen, fressen und anschließend eng aneinandergekuschelt einschlafen. Genau das macht mir am meisten Freude! Deshalb möchte ich auch nicht alleine ausziehen, sondern nur gemeinsam mit einem Artgenossen oder zu einer bereits vorhandenen, jungen Katze in meinem neuen Zuhause. Ich bin sehr neugierig und habe jede Menge Flausen im Kopf - „typisch Kitten eben“, würden meine Pfleger wahrscheinlich sagen. Besonders gerne spiele ich mit Katzenangeln. Dabei kann ich mich so richtig auspowern und anschließend zufrieden in mein Körbchen kuscheln. Euch Menschen finde ich zwar interessant, aber zum Anfassen lassen brauche ich noch ein bisschen Zeit - sobald ich im neuen Zuhause bin, taue ich bestimmt schnell auf. Wenn ihr mich und meine Freunde gerne einmal kennenlernen möchtet, meldet euch unbedingt bei meinen Pflegern im Tierheim. Vielleicht darf ich ja schon bald meine Köfferchen packen und in mein Für-immer-Zuhause ziehen! Ich freue mich riesig darauf, euch kennenzulernen! Eure Ruby
