Tigerlilly

Female · Senior · 16 years

Hello, I am Tigerlilly. I was found as a kitten in the woods and lived here at the animal shelter with my rescuer until my human had to move into supported living and couldn't take me. Now I am here at the animal shelter and desperately need a new home. I don't feel quite right here and need some time to adjust. I also don't want to be handled yet; I'd rather stay in my den and watch what the people are doing. I think if someone takes the time to show me that being stroked isn't so bad, I could still be a friendly cat. I am not young anymore, so I am looking for a quiet home with no chaos and no children. I also wish for some freedom. I used to have a balcony in my home where I could always watch what was happening out there in the world, and I would love to finally get a chance to see everything up close, not just from the balcony. I've already been to the vet and I am completely healthy, so nothing stands in the way of my move to a new home. If you still have a spot for an older lady, please contact this breed at our shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin die Tigerlilly. Ich wurde als Kitten im Wald gefunden und habe bis zur Abgabe ins Tierheim bei meiner Retterin gelebt. Nun musste mein Frauchen leider ins betreute Wohnen und konnte mich nicht mitnehmen, deswegen bin ich jetzt hier im Tierheim und suche dringend ein neues Zuhause. Ich fühle mich hier nicht richtig wohl und muss mich erst mal einleben. Ich möchte mich auch noch nicht anfassen lassen, am liebsten bleibe ich in meiner Höhle und schaue, was die Menschen so machen. Ich denke, wenn sich jemand Zeit für mich nimmt und mir zeigt, dass streicheln gar nicht so schlimm ist, könnte ich auch noch eine freundliche Katze werden. Ich bin nun mal auch nicht mehr die Jüngste, deshalb suche ich ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne viel Trubel und ohne Kinder. Ich wünsche mir auch Freigang. Früher hatte ich in meinem Zuhause einen Balkon, wo ich immer schauen konnte, was so in der Welt da draußen passiert und fände es sicher gut, mir endlich mal draußen alles aus der Nähe anzuschauen und nicht mehr nur vom Balkon aus. Beim Tierarzt war ich auch schon und ich bin komplett gesund, also steht meinem Auszug in ein neues Zuhause nichts mehr im Wege. Wenn ihr noch ein Plätzchen für eine ältere Dame frei habt, dann meldet euch doch im Tierheim. Eure Tigerlilly

What life with Tigerlilly looks like

Tigerlilly 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 Tigerlilly, answered.

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