Shorty

Female · Adult · 4 years

Hello, I am Shorty, they found me and secured me. Now I am here at our shelter and am searching for a new home. At first, I am a bit cautious around people, but with a little patience and love, I will surely warm up quickly. I am already letting myself be gently stroked. It would be great if I could move out with another kitten from here or go to a loving second cat. Older children would also be no problem for me, as long as I have a place to retreat to if it gets too much for me. When I am old enough, I would also like to enjoy some outdoor time again, since I come from outside and would like to explore nature. So, if my interest has caught yours, then get in touch with my foster parents at our shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin die Shorty, man hat mich gefunden und gesichert. Nun bin ich hier im Tierheim und suche ein neues Zuhause. Am Anfang bin ich Menschen gegenüber noch etwas vorsichtig, aber mit ein bisschen Geduld und Liebe taue ich bestimmt schnell auf. Ich lasse mich bereits vorsichtig streicheln. Es wäre toll, wenn ich mit einem anderen Kitten von hier ausziehen oder zu einer lieben Zweitkatze ziehen könnte. Ältere Kinder wären für mich auch kein Problem, sofern ich einen Rückzugort habe, wenn es mir zu viel wird. Wenn ich alt genug bin, würde ich auch gerne wieder Freigang genießen, da ich ja von draußen komme und gerne die Natur erkunden möchte. Also, wenn ich Euer Interesse geweckt habe, dann meldet Euch doch bei meinen Pflegern im Tierheim. Eure Shorty

Frequently asked

Adopting Shorty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shorty?
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 Shorty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shorty 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 Shorty 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 Shorty 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 Shorty 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.
