Shiro

Male · Kitten

Name: Shiro Gender: male neutered Breed: Turkish Angora Mix Date of Birth: unknown Reason for stay at animal shelter: found at our shelter since: 19.03.2026 Health issues: Specialties: Shiro is a loving and well-socialized tomcat who enjoys the attention of his people very much. He loves cuddle sessions but also spends just as much time playing and exploring. He gets along with other cats at our shelter only marginally, which is why we can present him as a single cat. He likely doesn't hear completely and has had issues with his eyes at times, making a protected home the safest and best option for him. Despite this, he would still be very happy with a secure balcony.

Name: Shiro Geschlecht: männlich kastriert Rasse: Türkisch-Angora Mix Geburtsdatum: unbekannt Grund des Tierheimaufenthalts: Fundtier im Tierheim RS seit: 19.03.2026 Gesundheitlich eingeschränkt: Besonderheiten: Shiro ist ein lieber und verschmuster Kater, der die Aufmerksamkeit seiner Menschen sehr genießt. Er liebt Kuscheleinheiten, verbringt aber auch genauso gerne Zeit mit Spielen und Entdecken. Mit anderen Katzen versteht sich Shiro bei uns eher weniger, weshalb wir ihn uns als Einzelkater vorstellen können. Vermutlich hört er nicht komplett und hatte zwischendurch Probleme mit seinen Augen, weshalb ein geschütztes Zuhause für ihn die sicherste und beste Option wäre. Über einen gesicherten Balkon würde er sich trotzdem sehr freuen. Bei Interesse an Shiro senden Sie uns gerne eine E-Mail mit einer erreichbaren Telefonnummer an oder kommen Sie direkt zu den

About Shiro

What life with Shiro looks like

Shiro is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Remscheid in Remscheid.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Shiro, answered.

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