Urmel

Male · Adult · 7 years

Hello, I am Urmel. I was found and brought to the animal shelter. At first, I was very panicked, but that has settled down. Now, I am looking for a forever home. I am still a bit cautious around people, but with lots of patience and time, I am sure that will change. I would also be happy to move in with an existing, outgoing second cat who can strengthen my back and lure me out of my cave. Children should not be in my new home, as the chaos would be too much for me. After my settling-in period, I would love to enjoy some free roam again because I come from outdoors and I would like to explore nature once more. If you are interested, feel free to contact my foster parents. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin Urmel. ich wurde gefunden und ins Tierheim gebracht. Dort war ich erstmal sehr panisch, das hat sich aber gelegt. Jetzt suche ich ein neues Für-immer-Zuhause. Menschen gegenüber bin ich noch vorsichtig, aber mit viel Geduld und Zeit legt sich das bestimmt. Gerne würde ich auch zu einer vorhanden, mutigen Zweitkatze ziehen, die mir den Rücken stärkt und mich aus meiner Höhle lockt. Kinder sollten in meinem neuen Zuhause keine sein, da der Trubbel mir zu viel werden würde. Nach meiner Eingewöhnungszeit würde ich gerne wieder Freigang genießen, weil ich von draußen komme und ich gerne wieder die Natur erkunden möchte. Wenn ich euer Interesse geweckt habe, dann meldet euch doch gerne bei meinen Pflegern. Euer Urmel

Frequently asked

Adopting Urmel, answered.

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