Frauke

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

My name is Frauke. I am female, neutered, and born in 2021. I have been waiting since December 2022 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Frauke came to us as a found animal. Unfortunately, during the care for the spaying, it became clear that Frauke will need a lot of time to get accustomed to people. So we are looking for a place in a protected environment where she can work as a mouser, live freely, and be medically attended when needed. A home where she can have space and time to build trust. At our shelter, Frauke is now much more approachable and calmer. When we are nearby, she remains calm and observes us closely. She is also suitable for apartment living with company. During feeding, she comes closer than she did at the beginning, which is always a good sign for us. Petting is also something she is now willing to do. We hope that a place can be found where Frauke can be happy again and not have to rely on the soft paw. Maybe the situation will change over time, and she will no longer view people as a threat; we have seen the most wonderful things happen….

Mein Name ist Frauke. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2021 geboren. Ich warte seit Dezember 2022 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Frauke kam als Fundtier zu uns.. Leider zeigte sich während der Betreuung über die Kastration, das eine Gewöhnung an den Menschen für Frauke viel Zeit brauchen wird und so suchen wir für sie einen Platz im geschütztem Umfeld, wo sie als Mäusefängerin einen Job hat, in Freiheit leben darf und bei Bedarf auch mal medizinisch versorgt wird. Ein Zuhause wo sie gegebenenfalls Freiraum hat und Zeit, Vertrauen zu fassen. Bei uns ist Frauke inzwischen wesentlich zugänglicher und ruhiger.wenn wir uns in Ihrer Nähe aufhalten, bleibt sie gelassen und beobachtet uns ganz genau. Auch reine Wohnungshaltung mit Gesellschaft ist denkbar.Beim Füttern kommt sie schon näher als zu Beginn. für uns immer ein gutes Zeichen.Auch Streicheln ist dann schon mal drin. Wir hoffen, es findet sich ein Plätzchen, wo Frauke wieder glücklich sein darf und keiner zu große Erwartungen an die Samtpfote hat.Vielleicht wendet sich das Blatt mit der Zeit und sie beginnt dann doch, den Menschen nicht mehr als Gefahr zu betrachten, wir haben schon die dollsten Dinger erlebt….

About Frauke

What life with Frauke looks like

Frauke is a large 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 Frauke, answered.

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