How do I contact the shelter about Yoshi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Yoshi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Yoshi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. 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 Yoshi 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 Yoshi 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 Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Yoshi and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Yoshi

Male · Kitten · 4 months

Yoshi *approx. April 1, 2026: Yoshi is a sweet, curious little tomcat and a tiny explorer with a big brother’s heart 🥰 He loves being kept busy and playing together. He always keeps an eye on his sister Naira and shows himself to be a patient big brother—even when Naira promptly snatches his food right out of his paws if he’s not quick enough 😂 His favorite spot is the window swing, from which he can watch over everything. He loves being encouraged to play, and if you give him just a bit of lickable paste on your hand, you’ll win Yoshi’s trust in no time at all: He’ll slowly approach, savoringly lick up the paste, and even let you gently stroke his cheek ❤️ At first, Yoshi was very shy and reserved. Right now, he’s still a bit wary of petting, but he does tolerate it quite well. He’s making great progress, and we’re convinced that Yoshi and Naira will quickly warm up even more once they’re with their new people. The two are very close to each other, so they’d love to move into their new home together. Yoshi has been dewormed, chipped, and vaccinated—perfectly prepared for his new life. All that’s left now is finding the right home where he can settle in at his own pace and explore the world together with Naira. The foster home looks forward to receiving lots of loving visits.

Yoshi *ca 01.04.2026: Yoshi ist ein liebes, neugieriges Katerchen und ein kleiner Entdecker mit großem Bruderherz 🥰 Er liebt Beschäftigung und das gemeinsame Spiel. Er hat immer ein Auge auf seine Schwester Naira und zeigt sich dabei als geduldiger Bruder – selbst dann, wenn Naira ihm kurzerhand das Fressen wegmampft, wenn er nicht schnell genug war😂 Sein Lieblingsplatz ist die Fensterschaukel, von der aus er alles beobachten kann. Er lässt sich gerne zum Spielen animieren und wenn man ihm ein wenig Schleckpaste auf die Hand gibt, gewinnt man Yoshi‘s Vertrauen im Handumdrehen: Er kommt dann langsam näher, schleckt genüsslich die Paste auf und lässt sich dabei sogar sanft an der Wange streicheln ❤️ Anfangs war Yoshi noch sehr scheu und zurückhaltend. Streicheleinheiten findet er momentan noch ein wenig suspekt, lässt sie sich aber durchaus gefallen. Er macht tolle Fortschritte und wir sind überzeugt, dass Yoshi und Naira bei ihren neuen Menschen ganz schnell weiter auftauen werden. Die beiden hängen sehr aneinander, deshalb möchten sie gemeinsam in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen. Yoshi ist entwurmt, gechippt und geimpft und damit bestens vorbereitet für sein neues Leben. Jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch das passende Zuhause, in dem er in seinem eigenen Tempo ankommen und gemeinsam mit Naira die Welt entdecken darf. Die Pflegestelle freut sich auf lieben Besuch. PS: Kat.S.

About Yoshi

What life with Yoshi looks like

Yoshi is a large puppy/kitten cat waiting at Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. in Schalkenbach.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
