EKH Orpheus &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male

shy kitten seeks a home Orpheus was given to us with another tomcat because his frauchen passed away. Not much could be learned about his backstory, and after settling in, some medical treatments and more intensive care were needed. His blood values are in order, and he now has almost all his teeth gone, which doesn’t hold him back at all, not even when it comes to eating. A larger operation on his ear earned him his name. He is a sweet guy, unfortunately, he doesn’t present himself at all and enjoys the cuddles from the staff. However, one has to go to him, and interested parties might just not be cats where it’s the other way around. Orpheus likes people who let him be, and he prefers a quiet, laid-back daily routine without much commotion. Orpheus is a content and friendly tomcat who has no problem with fellow animals. Perhaps we can find a new home for him together with his buddy Gusto, which would of course be the greatest joy for the two of them…. Perhaps we can find a new home for them, and both can now start the coming spring fully medically cared for and happy and content in their new shared home…

schüchternes Katertier sucht Lebensplatz Orpheus ist mit einem weiteren Kater bei uns abgegeben worden, weil Frauchen verstarb. Zur Vorgeschichte konnte nicht viel berichtet werden und nach der Eingewöhnung mussten einige medizinische Behandlungen und etwas intensivere Pflege erfolgen. Seine Blutwerte sind in Ordnung, seine Zähne nun auch fast alle weg, was ihn jedoch nicht einschränkt , auch nicht bei der Futteraufnahme.Eine größere Operation am Ohr bescheerte ihm seinen Namen. Er ist ein lieber Kerl, leider präsentiert er sich überhaupt nicht und geniesst die Streicheleinheiten vom Personal. Allerdings muss man zu ihm gehen und Interessenten mögen halt Katzen, wo es genau a nders herum läuft. Orpheus mag Menschen, die ihn sein lassen, we er ist und bevorzugt einen ruhigen einen geruhsamen Tagesablauf ohne viel Trubel. Orpheus ist ein genügsamer und freundlicher Kater, der mit Artgenossen kein Problem hat.Vielleicht gelingt es uns, für ihn gemeinsam mit seinem Kumpel Gusto ein neues Zuhause zu finden, das wäre natürlich das größte Glück für die Zwei…. Vielleicht gelingt es uns und beide können nun rundum medizinisch versorgt und im gemeinsamen neuen Zuhause glücklich und zufieden in den kommenden Frühling starten…

What life with EKH Orpheus &#8211 looks like

EKH Orpheus &#8211 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting EKH Orpheus &#8211, answered.

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