How do I contact the shelter about Elisa?

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

Can I adopt Elisa 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 Elisa 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 Elisa 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 Elisa 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.

Elisa

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

EKH Elisa was rehomed to Naunhof at the end of May and is now enjoying a life as a single princess! ——————————————————————————– I am female, spayed, and born around 2011. I have been waiting for a new home since March 2015. This is what my caregivers say about me: Elisa is a stray cat from the area of Grimma. She found herself with an older cat lover who has long cared for strays, and after the appropriate waiting period, she brought Elisa to us. Elisa is a very affectionate and cuddly cat who would like a new home quickly. She is easygoing and suitable for beginners. Free roaming would be nice, but not necessary, as she usually stays indoors. Other animals, if present, should not be too pushy, Elisa prefers to keep her distance at the moment. Therefore, single housing is also possible. Anyone who would like to give Elisa a loving home is welcome to visit her here…

EKH Elisa konnte Ende Mai nach Naunhof vermittelt werden und genießt nun ein Leben als Einzelprinzessin! ——————————————————————————– Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2011 geboren. Ich warte seit März 2015 auf ein neues zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Elisa ist ein Fundtier aus dem Raum Grimma.Sie hatte sich bei einer älteren Katzenfreundin, welche schon lange Streuner betreut, eingefunden und nach entsprechender Wartezeit brachte Sie Elisa zu uns. Elisa ist eine sehr anhängliche und verschmuste Miez, die gern schnell ein neues Zuhause möchte.Sie ist unkompliziert und für Anfänger geeignet. Freigang wär schön, muss aber nicht sein, bei uns hält sie sich meist im Innenbereich auf. Artgenossen sollten, wenn vorhanden, nicht zu aufdringlich sein, Elisa hält sich zur Zeit alle lieber auf Abstand.Daher wäre auch eine Einzelhaltung möglich. Wer Elisa ein schmusiges Zuhause schenken möchte, kann sie gern bei uns besuchen…

About Elisa

What life with Elisa looks like

Elisa is a medium-sized senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
