Tjock

Male · Senior · 11 years

Hello, I am Tjock, I had been wandering outside for quite some time before my finders noticed that I had a wound on my eye that had never been treated. Then I was caught using a trap and brought to the animal shelter. Here it was determined that my eye was already infected and unfortunately could not be saved. To prevent me from scratching my wound, colorful caps were glued to my claws, but they are now starting to fall off. My teeth also had to be removed, as I unfortunately also had FORL, a disease where my own cells attack my teeth and destroy them in excruciating pain. Now, given the circumstances, I am doing well and I am ready for a nice home. People are still somewhat suspicious to me and I do not really want to be touched yet, but with a bit of time and patience, that will surely change. As I would be quite helpless outside without teeth and with only one eye, only a secure release is now an option for me. So it would be great if I could still have a feline friend, as I got along well with cats here. Therefore, if you are still interested in a handsome tomcat, then please feel free to contact the animal shelter and arrange a meeting. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin der Tjock, ich lief schon eine ganze Weile draußen herum, bevor meinen Findern aufgefallen ist, dass ich eine Verletzung am Auge hatte, die nie behandelt wurde. Dann wurde ich mithilfe einer Falle eingefangen und ins Tierheim gebracht. Hier wurde dann festgestellt, dass mein Auge schon ausgelaufen war und man es leider nicht mehr retten konnte. Damit ich meine Wunde nicht aufkratzen kann, wurden mir bunte Kappen auf die Krallen geklebt, die aber jetzt auch nach und nach abfallen. Auch meine Zähne mussten leider alle entfernt werden, denn ich hatte leider auch FORL, das ist eine Krankheit, bei der meine eigenen Zellen meine Zähne angreifen und sie unter höllischen Schmerzen zerstören. Jetzt geht es mir aber, entsprechend den Umständen, gut und ich bin bereit für ein schönes Zuhause. Menschen sind mir noch ziemlich suspekt und ich möchte noch nicht wirklich angefasst werden, aber mit ein bisschen Zeit und Geduld wird sich das bestimmt noch ändern. Da ich draußen ohne Zähne und mit nur einem Auge ziemlich hilflos wäre, kommt für mich leider nur noch gesicherter Freigang in Frage. Da wäre es dann schön, wenn ich noch einen Katzenkumpel hätte, mit Katzen war ich hier verträglich. Also wenn Ihr noch Interesse an einem hübschen Kater habt, dann meldet Euch doch gerne im Tierheim und vereinbart einen Termin zum Kennenlernen. Euer Tjock

About Tjock

What life with Tjock looks like

Tjock 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.

🇩🇪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 Tjock, answered.

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