EKH Gerda

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

I am female, neutered, and born around 2018. I have been waiting for a new home since June 2021. My caretakers say about me: Gerda was brought to us because her owner could no longer care for her due to moving into supervised living. After medical round-the-clock care, Gerda now seeks a home. She is initially shy and not immediately cuddly, so she needs some time to adjust. During feeding, petting is already allowed, but for now, Gerda is mostly a watchful observer. As a second cat, Gerda would feel comfortable, and she is used to life with fellow animals. Whether she becomes an outdoor cat or a purely indoor cat is up to her, but we wish the pretty Gerda a second chance in a patient household.

Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2018 geboren. Ich warte seit Juni 2021 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Gerda wurde zu uns gebracht, da Ihre Besitzerin auf Grund eines Umzugs ins betreute Wohnen ihre Miezen nicht mehr versorgen konnte. Nach medizinischer Rundumbetreuung sucht Gerda nun ein Zuhause. Sie ist anfänglich schüchtern und nicht direkt auf Kuschelkurs und benötigt daher Eingewöhnungszeit. Beim Füttern ist Streicheln schon mal gestattet, ansonsten ist Gerda vorerst ein aufmerksamer Beobachter. Als Zweitkatze würde Gerda sich wohl fühlen, das Leben mit Artgenossen ist sie gewohnt. Ob sie als späterer Freigänger oder als reine Wohnungskatze auszieht ist gleich, wir wünschen uns für die hübsche Gerda eine zweite Chance in einem geduldigen Haushalt. Kinder sollten wenn vorhanden, das nötige Verständnis aufbringen, dann steht einer

About EKH Gerda

What life with EKH Gerda looks like

EKH Gerda 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 EKH Gerda, answered.

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