Allessandra

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

Allessandra was rehomed to Grimma on 17.03.2016! My name is Allessandra. I am female, spayed and born around 2015. I have been waiting for a new home since December 2015. This is what my caregivers say about me: Allessandra came to us and is initially somewhat uncertain. Although we had some initial problems handling her during the quarantine period, she has now become a cautious but cuddly little mouse. In the adoption room, she enjoys every petting when approached carefully. We think she needs a quieter environment in a household where she can relax and build a bond calmly, because she has quickly gotten used to cuddles here. As a second cat, she is very well suited, she has no problems with the fellow animals. Allessandra would be suitable for patient beginners who give her the time she needs to build a trusting relationship in safety. Until she is settled and sometimes comes for cuddles on her own, she should live in a suitable apartment, so she does not get scared and panics and runs away. She is easily bribed with food and love goes through the stomach, as they say... The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal can develop differently in its new home. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Allessandra konnte am 17.03.2016 nach Grimma vermittelt werden! Mein Name ist Allessandra. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2015 geboren. Ich warte seit Dezember 2015 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Allessandra kam als zu uns und ist von Haus aus etwas unsicher. Auch wenn wir in der Quarantänezeit anfänglich Probleme hatten, sie zu behandeln, ist sie inzwischen eine anfänglich vorsichtige, aber verschmuste Zaubermaus geworden. Im Vermittlungszimmer genießt sie jede Streicheleinheit, wenn man sich mit Bedacht nähert. Wir denken, sie braucht eine ruhigere Umgebung in einem Haushalt, wo sie entspannt und ruhig einen Bezug aufbauen kann, denn bei uns hat sie sich schnell an Kuscheleinheiten gewöhnen können. Als Zweitkatze ist sie sehr gut geeignet, mit den Artgenossen hat sie keine Probleme. Allessandra könnte zu geduldigen Anfängern, die ihr die Eingewöhnungszeit geben, die sie braucht, um in Sicherheit eine vertrauensvolle Bindung aufbauen zu können. Bis sie sich eingelebt hat und auch mal selbstständig zum Schmusen kommt sollte sie in reiner Wohnungshaltung leben, damit sie sich nicht erschreckt und in Panik auf und davon läuft. Mit Futter ist sie gut bestechlich und Liebe geht ja bekanntlich durch den Magen…. Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Allessandra

What life with Allessandra looks like

Allessandra is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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 Allessandra, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Allessandra?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Allessandra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Allessandra if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Allessandra 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 Allessandra 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 Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Allessandra 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.
