Venatrix

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Hello, I am the sweet Venatrix! I was given up along with three other cats because my owner was unfortunately overwhelmed with our care. Actually, I am a real sweetheart—my other friends already have interested parties, but here, I am unfortunately overlooked rather quickly. I am quite shy and do not come out of my cave in the cat room when strangers are in the room. However, if you take the time and patience to spend with me, sit a little closer, and approach me gently, I will thaw out and start to enjoy your cuddles. My caretakers are convinced that I will really warm up in a quiet home—I just have a bit of stress here at the animal shelter, making it hard for me to come out of my shell. Another nice cat in my new domain should not be a problem, I get along well with my fellow animals here. However, young children in the household are a bit too much for me—older, more quiet children should be fine. After my adjustment period, I am also looking forward to a walk in a quiet and more rural environment. Would you like to give a super sweet but rather shy cat a chance? Then contact my caretakers and make an appointment. I look forward to meeting you!. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo, ich bin die süße Venatrix! Ich wurde zusammen mit drei anderen Katzen abgegeben, da mein Besitzer mit unserer Haltung leider überfordert war. Eigentlich bin ich eine richtig liebe Maus - meine anderen Freunde haben schon Interessenten, nur mich übersieht man hier leider schnell. Ich bin nämlich ziemlich schüchtern und komme im Katzenraum nicht von selbst aus meiner Höhle, wenn fremde Leute im Zimmer sind. Wenn man sich aber erst einmal Zeit und Geduld für mich nimmt, sich ein bisschen zu mir setzt und sich vorsichtig annähert, dann taue ich auf & fange an, eure Streicheleinheiten zu genießen. Meine Pfleger sind überzeugt davon, dass ich in einem ruhigen Zuhause auch richtig auftauen werde - hier im Tierheim habe ich nun mal leider etwas Stress, da fällt es mir schwer aus mir herauszukommen. Eine andere nette Katze in meinem neuen Reich sollte kein Problem sein, ich zeige mich hier verträglich mit meinen Artgenossen. Kleine Kinder im Haushalt sind mir allerdings zu viel des Guten - ältere, ruhigere Kinder sollten aber in Ordnung gehen. Nach meiner Eingewöhnung freue ich mich auch Freigang in einer verkehrsberuhigten und eher ländlichen Umgebung. Ihr möchtet einer super lieben, aber etwas schüchternen Katze eine Chance geben? Dann meldet euch bei meinen Pflegern und macht einen Termin aus. Ich freue mich auf euch! Eure Venatrix

About Venatrix

What life with Venatrix looks like

Venatrix is a young adult british shorthair 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 Venatrix, answered.

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