Brit

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Brit could be rehomed in May 2018. She is a British Shorthair mix, female, neutered, and was born around 2017. I have been waiting since March 2018 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Brit is a loving found kitten who initially needed some time to adjust, but has since become a loving and cuddly cat. Brit is more quiet and stays in the background in the adoption room, so her beauty has been overlooked. If approached carefully, she is cuddly and grateful. Brit can be rehomed with a compatible fellow animal, provided there are children in the household who are understanding with Brit. She does not necessarily need full freedom, and living in an apartment is suitable for Brit. She loves the company of humans without being intrusive. She sometimes enjoys a bit of coffee talk, but in the cat group, she keeps a low profile. We are convinced that she will show her sociable side again in her new home. She prefers to sun herself on elevated spots and would also like to have her own quiet time. For her adjustment, a little patience is needed; once the refined lady has thawed, she will show it. She seeks a quiet household, preferably with a fellow animal, but it is not strictly necessary. The same applies to freedom; if it is possible, she would enjoy it, but she would also be content with apartment living. Who gives the initially reserved little kitten a chance and a home of her own? The descriptions are impressions and photos of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal can develop differently in its new home.

Brit konnte im Mai 2018 vermittelt werden.. Britisch Kurzhaar Mix Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2017 geboren. Ich warte seit März 2018 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Brit ist eine liebe Fundmiez, die anfänglich etwas Zeit zur Eingewöhnung brauchte, inzwischen aber eine liebe und verschmuste Maus geworden ist. Brit zeigt sich im Vermittlungszimmer eher ruhig und hält sich im Hintergrund.So wurde die Schönheit bisher übersehen. Geht man vorsichtig auf sie zu, ist sie verschmust und dankbar. Brit kann zu einem verträglichen Artgenossen vermittelt werden, sind Kinder im Haushalt, sollten diese verständnissvoll mit Brit umgehen, dann ist das kein Problem. Sie benötigt nicht zwingend Freigang, reine Wohnungshaltung ist für Brit vorstellbar, sie liebt die Nähe zum Menschen, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein.ab und an liebt sie den Kaffeklatsch, in der Katzengruppe hält sie sich damit aber zurück. Wir sind überzeugt, im neuen Zuhause wird sie diese Gesprächigkeit wieder an den Tag legen. Sie sonnt sich mit Vorliebe auf erhöhten Liegeplätzen und möchte auch einmal ihre Ruhe haben. Für Ihre Eingewöhnung sollte man ein wenig Geduld mitbringen, ist die vornehme Lady aufgetaut, wird sie das kundtun. Sie sucht einen ruhigen Haushalt, gern bei Artgenossen, zwingend nötig ist es aber nicht. Ebenso verhält es sich mit Freigang, wenn er möglich ist, würde sie das genießen, sich aber auch in reiner Wohnungshaltung wohl fühlen. Wer gibt der lieben und anfänglich zurückhaltenden Miez eine Chance und schenkt ihr ihr eigenes Zuhause? Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Brit

What life with Brit looks like

Brit 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 Brit, answered.

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