Benjamin &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

My name is Benjamin. I am male, neutered, and born in 2021. I have been waiting since April 2022 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Benjamin came to us as a found animal from the region and was not missed. He is a classic young fellow who still has much to experience. He would like to be with another furry friend, ideally with another one of our shelter companions if one is still available. Benjamin does not have any special requirements regarding the conditions for placement. Whether purely suitable for apartment living or as a future outdoor cat, that is all right with him. What matters to him are plenty of cuddles and lots of play and fun. Who would like to finally have a warm little heater at home and enjoy life to the fullest with Benjamin?

Mein Name ist Benjamin. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und 2021 geboren. Ich warte seit April 2022 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Benjamin kam als Fundtier der Region zu uns und wurde nicht vermisst. Er ist ein klassischer Jungspund, der noch viel erleben möchte. Gern mit einer weiteren Samtpfote, idealerweise mit einem weiteren Schützling von uns, falls noch keiner vorhanden ist. Außer den klassischen Haltungsbedingungen stellt Benjamin keine besonderen Ansprüche bezüglich der Vermittlungsbedingungen. Ob reine Wohnungshaltung oder als zukünftiger Freigänger das ist ihm egal.Wichtig sind genügend Streicheleinheiten und jede Menge Spiel und Spass. Wer möchte endlich einen heissen Feger bei sich haben und mit Benjamin das Leben in vollen Zügen genießen?

About Benjamin &#8211

What life with Benjamin &#8211 looks like

Benjamin &#8211 is a 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 Benjamin &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benjamin &#8211?
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 Benjamin &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Benjamin &#8211 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 Benjamin &#8211 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 Benjamin &#8211 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 Benjamin &#8211 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.
