How do I contact the shelter about EKH Lucy &#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 EKH Lucy &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt EKH Lucy &#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 EKH Lucy &#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 EKH Lucy &#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 EKH Lucy &#8211 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

EKH Lucy &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

EKH Lucy could be rehomed in May 2023. I am female, neutered, and born around 2018. I have been waiting since March 2021 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Lucy is a surrender cat, as her owners were overwhelmed by her independent personality. They took Lucy from somewhere, and her history is unknown. She is not a cat of sadness and knows how to use her claws if something doesn’t suit her. Lucy requires absolute freedom to decide whether she wants to be cuddled or not. During the adjustment phase, enough individual space must be given to Lucy, especially. Therefore, a home without children is sought for Lucy. With the possibility of later release, Lucy can also be adequately stimulated. Then, Lucy can enjoy cuddles and build trust. We think she has already had several owner changes and thus so much mistrust in her. Experienced cat owners will surely help Lucy’s pretty little head forget this past. Who would like to start a beautiful future with Lucy with patience and experience?. This cat needs outdoor access.

EKH Lucy konnte im Mai 2023 vermittelt werden. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2018 geboren. Ich warte seit März 2021 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Lucy ist eine Abgabekatze, da ihre Halter mit ihrem eigenständigen Charakter überfordert waren.Sie hatten Lucy von irgenwoher übernommen, ihre Geschichte ist unbekannt. Sie ist kein Kind von Traurigkeit und weiß ihre Krallen einzusetzen, wenn ihr was nicht passt. Sie benötigt zwingend den Freiraum, selbt zu entscheiden, ob sie Streicheleinheiten möchte oder nicht. Genügend Individualdistanz muss man Lucy, besonders in der Eingewöhnungsphase, unbedingt zugestehen. Daher wird für Lucy auch ein Haushalt ohne Kinder gesucht. Gern mit der Möglichkeit zu späterem Freigang, um Lucy auch andereitig auszulasten. Bestimmt kann Lucy dann auch Streicheleinheiten genießen und Vertrauen aufbauen. Wir denken, das sie schon einige Besitzerwechsel hinter sich hat und deswegen so viel Mißtrauen in ihr steckt. Erfahrene Katzenhalter schaffen es bestimmt, Lucys hübsches Köpfchen diese Vergangenheit vergessen zu lassen. Wer möchte mit Geduld und Erfahrung in eine schöne Zukunft mit Lucy starten?
