Adopt Foxi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

What an event, even Tomcat Foxi has found people who are convinced that a great guy is hiding behind his reserved nature. At the end of May 2016, Foxi will move to a patient cat lover near Leipzig as a single prince, we are very excited!!!! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………. I am male, neutered and born in May 2011. I have been waiting for a new home since 2013. This is what my caretakers say about me: Foxi came along with his brother, who was successfully rehomed. In the box, Foxi is affectionate, and treatments or the annual vaccination are then no problem. However, in the adoption room he keeps his distance and watches visitors from afar. Due to his beautiful markings, he is not one of those who go unnoticed, but his reserve has so far prevented serious interest. He is curious, he just lacks that last bit of courage. We are sure that he can be convinced of cuddling with hand feeding. Patience and cat experience are needed. Foxi gets along with other animals depending on sympathy, outdoor access can be, but does not have to be. We wish Foxi a rather quiet home, preferably in a rural area. He has been waiting long enough with us for his own family and we would be very happy if Foxi could finally move into his first own home... eMail:

was für ein Ereignis, auch Kater Foxi hat Menschen gefunden, die davon überzeugt sind, das ein toller Typ hinter seinem zurückhaltenden Wesen steckt. Ende Mai 2016 wird Foxi als Einzelprinz an geduldige Katzenliebhaber in die Nähe von Leipzig umziehen, wir freuen uns riesig!!!! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und im Mai 2011 geboren. Ich warte seit 2013 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Foxi kam gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder, welcher schon erfolgreich vermittelt werden konnte. In der Box ist Foxi streichelbar, auch Behandlungen oder die jährliche Impfung sind dann kein Problem. Im Vermittlungszimmer jedoch hält er Abstand und schaut dem Besuch von weitem zu. Durch seine wunderschöne Zeichnung gehört er nicht zu denen, die übersehen werden, seine Zurückhaltung verhinderte aber bisher ernsthaftes Interesse. Er ist neugierig, ihm fehlt das letzte Quentchen Mut.Wir sind sicher, das er sich mit Handfütterung noch vom Schmusen überzeugen lässt.Geduld sollte man mitbringen und Katzenerfahrung. Mit Artgenossen versteht sich Foxi je nach Sympathie, Freigang kann, muss aber nicht sein.Wir wünschen uns für Foxi ein eher ruhiges Zuhause, vorzugsweise in ländlicher Gegend.Er wartet nun schon lang genug bei uns auf seine eigene Familie und wir würden uns riesig freuen, wenn Foxi endlich in sein erstes eigenes Zuhause umziehen könnte… eMail:

About Foxi

What life with Foxi looks like

Foxi 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 Foxi, answered.

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