Tessa

Female · Adult · 6 years

Hello, I am Tessa, they brought me to the animal shelter as my owner is supposedly in the hospital. However, I was also dropped off as a 9-year-old, neutered tomcat named Felix. I am, however, a sweet, 3-year-old cat in full bloom. Now I am definitely looking for a new home where I will be loved and petted. I do love snuggling and being with people, but I need some time to warm up. Older children wouldn't be a problem either, as long as I have a place to retreat to if it gets too much for me. After my settling-in period, I would love to enjoy some quiet roam and explore the outdoors. So if my description has caught your interest, please get in touch with us at this breed animal shelter. This animal was surrendered to the shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin die Tessa, man hat mich ins Tierheim gebracht, da mein Besitzer wohl im Krankenhaus liegen soll. Allerdings wurde ich auch als 9-jähriger, kastrierter Kater namens Felix hier abgegeben. Ich bin aber eine süße, 3-jährige Katze in voller Blüte. Jetzt suche ich auf jeden Fall ein neues Zuhause, wo ich geliebt und beschmust werde. An sich liebe ich schmusen und Menschen, aber ich brauche erst etwas Zeit, um richtig aufzutauen. Ältere Kinder wären auch kein Problem, sofern ich einen Rückzugsort habe, an den ich gehen kann, wenn es mir zu viel wird. Nach meiner Eingewöhnungszeit würde ich gerne ruhigen Freigang genießen und die Natur erkunden. Also wenn ich Euer Interesse geweckt habe, dann meldet Euch doch bei uns im Tierheim. Eure Tessa

About Tessa

What life with Tessa looks like

Tessa is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪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 Tessa, answered.

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