Ruby

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 16 years

Ruby has been with us her whole life, along with Edward. We are looking for a home where the two of them can stay together. Because both have tested positive for FIP, they may only have secured outdoor access, which we very much wish for them. Likewise, they may only live with other cats that have also tested positive, since the disease is transmissible. Ruby is still a little reserved, but she can already be petted now and then.

DE·Show original

Ruby ist mit Edward schon ihr ganzes Leben bei uns. Wir suchen ein Zuhause, wo die beiden zusammen bleiben können. Dadurch, dass sie beide positiv auf Fip getestet worden sind, dürfen sie nur gesicherten Freigang erhalten, den wir ihnen auch sehr wünschen. Ebenso dürfen sie nur mit ebenfalls positiv getesteten Katzen zusammenleben, da die Krankheit übertragbar ist. Ruby ist noch etwas zurückhaltend, aber man kann sie schon ab und zu streicheln.

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tiernothilfe Katz & Co. Frielendorf e.V. in Germany.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Ruby, answered.

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