Vayu

Male · Senior · 20 years

Hello there, I am Vayu. I came to the animal shelter as a found animal. When I arrived, I was sent to the vet, where it was determined that my teeth were in such a catastrophic state that they all had to be removed. Since I can't eat properly without teeth, I can only eat soft paté food (but I do enjoy it a lot ;-)). Additionally, the vet found that I have high blood pressure. Therefore, I need to take a tablet once a day, but I can easily eat it with my food. I am still very reserved with people, but I can already be gently stroked by my trusted people. However, do not expect me to immediately come to you and walk right in. With a bit of patience and understanding, I will surely warm up quickly. Due to my somewhat advanced age and my skepticism towards people, I wish for a quiet home without children. A secure backyard would also be great, as I don't want to completely give up my freedom, even without teeth. If you have a suitable spot for me, feel free to get in touch and get to know me, so I don't have to sit in the animal shelter for much longer in my old age. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo ihr da draußen, ich bin Vayu. Ich kam als Fundtier ins Tierheim. Ich wurde als ich ankam erstmal zum Tierarzt geschickt, wo man festgestellt hat, dass meine Zähne in einem so katastrophalen Zustand waren, dass sie alle gezogen werden mussten. Da es sich ohne Zähne schlecht fressen lässt, kann ich nur weiches Paté Futter fressen (davon aber umso mehr ;-) ). Außerdem hat man beim Tierarzt festgestellt, dass ich Bluthochdruck habe. Deswegen muss ich einmal täglich eine Tablette bekommen, die ich aber in meinem Futter ohne Probleme mit fresse. Ich bin Menschen gegenüber noch sehr zurückhaltend, lasse mich aber von meinen Bezugspersonen auch schon sehr vorsichtig streicheln. Bitte erwartet aber nicht, dass ich sofort zu euch komme und mich durchkraulen lasse. Mit ein bisschen Geduld und Verständnis werde ich aber bestimmt schnell auftauen. Aufgrund meines etwas fortgeschrittenen Alters und meiner Skepsis Menschen gegenüber wünsche ich mir ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder. Ein gesicherter Garten wäre auch toll, da ich meinen Freigang nicht ganz aufgeben möchte, auch ohne Zähne nicht. Wenn ihr also ein passendes Plätzchen für mich frei habt, meldet euch doch gerne und lernt mich kennen, damit ich in meinem Alter nicht noch so lange im Tierheim sitzen muss. Euer Vayu

About Vayu

What life with Vayu looks like

Vayu 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 Vayu, answered.

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