Stephan

Male · Senior · 16 years

Hello, I am Stephan. Originally, I came here as a found animal at the animal shelter. Right away, it was noticed that something was not quite right with my eyes. So I was sent to the vet, where it was determined that I have entropion in my right eye. That has already been operated on, and now everything is good. I do not like being stroked and would rather have my peace. Maybe I will let someone stroke me someday if they show me that people might not be as dumb as I think. For my new home, I absolutely want a free roam, as I am familiar with that. Otherwise, I do not have high expectations. If you give me time to settle in in peace, I can definitely become a friendly tomcat. So, come by and take a look at me. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin Stephan. Ursprünglich kam ich als Fundtier hier ins Tierheim. Hier fiel direkt auf, dass etwas mit meinen Augen nicht stimmte. Also wurde ich zum Augenarzt geschickt und dort wurde dann festgestellt, dass ich ein Entropium am rechten Auge habe. Das wurde aber bereits operiert und jetzt ist alles gut. Ich möchte mich nicht gerne streicheln lassen und möchte lieber meine Ruhe haben. Vielleicht lasse ich mich irgendwann mal streicheln, wenn man mir zeigt, dass die Menschen vielleicht doch gar nicht so doof sind, wie ich denke. Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir unbedingt Freigang, da ich das ja schon von früher kenne. Ansonsten habe ich keine hohen Ansprüche. Wenn man mir Zeit gibt, mich in Ruhe einzuleben, dann kann ich bestimmt auch noch ein freundlicher Kater werden. Also, kommt doch vorbei und schaut mich an. Euer Stephan

About Stephan

What life with Stephan looks like

Stephan is a 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Stephan, answered.

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