How do I contact the shelter about Gabi?

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

Can I adopt Gabi 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 Gabi 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 Gabi 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 Gabi 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.

Gabi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Gabi was rehomed in August 2017 to patient cat lovers and now lives as a second cat in her own home! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. I am female, spayed and born in 2011. I have been waiting for a new home since September 2016. This is what my caretakers say about me: Gabi is a stray cat from the Muldental area. Although she developed well during her quarantine period, she keeps a safe distance in the adoption room. She would like to cuddle, but isn't really daring enough. For this, a stable home with patience and calmness is needed, then Gabi can probably be convinced with some practice and hand-feeding. However, she is one of the first in the adoption room who immediately inspects the visit and curiously checks the situation so as not to miss anything. What Gabi loves are fellow animals, she almost always greets all companions, whether they want it or not. Gabi is a perfect second cat and we would be very happy if she could find a position as a companion to another tabby. And there gets the necessary time she needs to gain trust. Whoever is looking for a new four-legged companion who, after getting used to things, always keeps a watchful eye on everything, will make the right choice with her. If there is another cat present, Gabi's happiness is complete...... The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal can develop differently in its new home.

Gabi konnte im August 2017 zu geduldigen Katzenliebhabern vermittelt werden und lebt nun als Zweitkatze im eigenen Zuhause! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2011 geboren. Ich warte seit September 2016 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Gabi ist eine Fundmieze aus dem Raum Muldental.Obwohl sie sich in ihrer Quarantänezeit recht gut entwickelte, hält sie einen Sicherheitsabstand im Vermittlungszimmer ein.Sie möchte gerne kuscheln, traut sich aber nicht so recht.Dazu braucht es ein stabiles Zuhause mit Geduld und Ruhe, dann wird man Gabi sicher mit etwas Übung und Handfütterung davon überzeugen können. Sie ist allerdings eine der Ersten im Vermittlungszimmer, der umgehend den Besuch inspiziert und neugierig die Lage chekt um in jedem Fall nichts zu verpassen. Was Gabi liebt sind Artgenossen, sie beschmust fast ohne Ausnahme alle Mitbewohner, ob sie wollen oder nicht.Gabi ist eine perfekte Zweitkatze und wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn sie eine Anstellung als Gesellschafterin zu einer weiteren Samtpfote finden kann.Und dort die nötige Zeit bekommt, die sie braucht, um Vertrauen zu gewinnen. Wer einen neuen viebeinigen Mitbewohner sucht, der nach Eingewöhnung immer fein auf alles ein wachsames Auge wirft, trifft mit ihr die richtige Wahl.wenn dann noch eine weitere Mieze vorhanden ist, ist Gabis Glück perfekt…… Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Gabi

What life with Gabi looks like

Gabi 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.
