EKH Murkel

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

My name is Murkel. I am male, neutered, and born around 2019. I have been waiting since April 2021 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Murkel is a regional found animal who was brought to us with minor injuries. Now he is healed and looking for his chance at a well-cared-for life. He is cheerful, talkative, and uncomplicated. Very cuddly and has a lot to make up for. He can be rehomed as a pure indoor cat but also as a later outdoor cat. Murkel prefers a home as a second cat, but a life as a single prince is also conceivable. Murkel likes cuddles, and children are no problem at all; rather, the opposite. Murkel enjoys a good chat and some chaos is always welcome. Who would like to start an entertaining future with our Murkelman?

Mein Name ist Murkel. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und circa 2019 geboren. Ich warte seit April 2021 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Murkel ist ein Fundtier der Region, der leicht verletzt zu uns gebracht wurde.Nun ist er genesen und auf der Suche nach seiner Chance auf ein umsorgtes Leben. Er ist fröhlich, gesprächig und unkompliziert. Sehr anschmiegsam und hat einiges nachzuholen. Er kann als reine Wohnungskatze aber auch als späterer Freigänger vermittelt werden.Bevorzugt sucht er ein Zuhause als Zweitkatze, aber auch ein Leben als Einzelprinz ist vorstellbar. Murkel mag Kuscheln, auch Kinder sind kein Problem, eher im Gegenteil. Murkel unterhält sich sehr gern und etwas Trubel ist ihm immer recht. Wer mag mit unserem Murkelmann in eine unterhaltsame Zukunft starten?

About EKH Murkel

What life with EKH Murkel looks like

EKH Murkel 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 EKH Murkel, answered.

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