Adopt Shila

Female · Senior · 18 years

Hello, I am Shila, I am already quite an older lady but still in top condition! Originally, I came to the animal shelter because I was an unwanted gift. My people then simply brought me here. I then found a nice home, but unfortunately had to leave there now as the living conditions had changed. So, I am back here again and am searching for a nice home where I can stay until the end of my days. As said, I am already a bit older and prefer a quiet and cozy environment. Therefore, a household with children would be completely out of the question for me... it would be far too loud and turbulent for me. A garden would also be nice, so I can go for a little walk and enjoy the sun. I do not necessarily need to have other cats in my new home, as I would rather be my own princess. I have a great fear of dogs. These are unfortunately not allowed to live there either. Otherwise, I do not have any other big demands except that I would of course love to be cuddled and for that you should have plenty of time. So, who out there would like to give a wonderful home to a great and sturdy cat? Please contact my foster parents at the animal shelter and arrange a meet-and-greet with them.

Hallo, ich bin die Shila, ich bin schon eine ältere Dame aber noch topfit! Ursprünglich kam ich ins Tierheim, da ich ein unerwünschtes Geschenk war. Meine Leute haben mich dann einfach hierhergebracht. Ich hatte dann ein schönes Zuhause gefunden und musste dort nun aber leider auch weg, da sich die Lebensumstände dort geändert hatten. Nun bin ich also wieder hier und suche ein schönes Zuhause, wo ich diesmal bis zu meinem Lebensende bleiben darf. Ich bin, wie gesagt, schon etwas älter und mag es daher gerne ruhig und gemütlich. Daher wäre ein Haushalt mit Kindern so gar nichts für mich... da wäre es mir viel zu laut und turbulent. Ein Garten wäre auch schön, denn da kann ich dann ein bisschen spazieren gehen und die Sonne genießen. Andere Katzen muss ich nicht unbedingt in meinem neuen Zuhause haben, da ich lieber Einzelprinzessin sein möchte. Vor Hunden habe ich große Angst. Diese dürfen leider dort auch nicht wohnen. Ansonsten stelle ich aber keine großen Ansprüche außer, dass ich natürlich gerne gekuschelt werden möchte und dafür solltet Ihr gerne viiiel Zeit haben. Also, wer da draußen möchte einer tollen rüstigen Katzenomi noch ein schönes Zuhause bieten?? Meldet Euch bitte schnell im Tierheim bei meinen Pflegern und macht einen Kennenlern-Termin mit diesen aus. Bis bald Eure Shila

About Shila

What life with Shila looks like

Shila is a large senior cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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. 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 Shila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shila?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shila if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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 Shila 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 Shila 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 Shila 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.
