How do I contact the shelter about EKH Jens?

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 Jens on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt EKH Jens 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 Jens 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 Jens 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 Jens and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

EKH Jens

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I am male, neutered, and born in 2020. I have been waiting since March 2021 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Jens is a regionally sourced surrender kitten. He is a litter that was provided with care, and now, one by one, the kittens are brought to us to be neutered and placed in safe homes. We are very grateful to the dedicated animal friend for their efforts. It's clear that Jens knows people, even though he is shy. So he will need some time to trust his people. Jens is good with handling, but he still needs to learn how enjoyable petting can be, and we are working diligently on that, especially when his food is served. We can envision Jens very well as a second cat, he is accustomed to life in company. A later release to the outdoors after he has gained trust would be nice, but is not strictly necessary. Who would like to give the handsome Jens with the beautiful eyes their heart and show them how peaceful life in a protected home can be?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Ich bin männlich, kastriert und 2020 geboren. Ich warte seit März 2021 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Jens ist ein Abgabekater unserer Region. Bei ihm handelt es sich um einen Wurf, der versorgt wurde und nun wird eins ums andere zu uns gebracht, um die Jungkatzen nach und nach kastriert in ein sicheres Zuhause zu vermitteln.Wir sind der engagierten Tierfreundin sehr dankbar für ihren Einsatz. Man merkt, das Jens Menschen kennt, auch wenn er schüchtern ist. Er wird also etwas Zeit benötigen, um seinen Menschen zu vertrauen. jens ist gut händlbar, muss nun aber noch erlernen, wie angenehm Streichelenheiten sind, wir arbeiten fleißig daran, wenn sein Futter serviert wird. Wir können uns jens sehr gut als Zweitkatze vorstellen, er ist das Leben in Gesellschaft gewohnt. Späterer Freigang nachdem er Vertrauen gefasst hat wäre schön,ist aber nicht zwingend erforderlich. Wer möchte dem hübschen Jens mit den schönen Augen sein Herz schenken und zeigen, wie entspannt das Leben in einem behüteten Zuhause sein kann?

About EKH Jens

What life with EKH Jens looks like

EKH Jens 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.
