George

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

George was rehomed on 06.02.2017 as a second cat to a former soft-paw from us! ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. My name is George. I am male, neutered and born in 2016. I have been waiting for a new home since November 2016. This is what my caretakers say about me: George has grown up with us, as can be seen from the photo. George was initially a shy young tomcat, like many found kittens. He is now a gentle and very curious guy, and even though he is now at an age where he can be neutered, he has not lost his cute charm. He is cuddly and a little sensitive. At our shelter he grew up in the company of other cats and would love to go out as a second cat. The existing pet should be balanced and not a daredevil. We would like someone who is caring, so that George can orient himself with the new companion or a companion and not feel overwhelmed right away. Then George would become a good cat buddy and, after checking the overall situation, also be a cuddly, mischievous and playful person-friendly cat. He just likes to assess the situation beforehand. We wish for George a family, preferably with understanding children, because he is a real snuggler. He is suitable as a first pet with the necessary patience, can be rehomed in an apartment or as an outdoor cat later. Who wants to give George the chance to finally experience the complete security of a family in his own home? The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal can develop differently in a new home. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

George konnte am 06.02.2017 als Zweitkatze zu einer ehemaligen Samtpfote von uns vermittelt werden! ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Mein Name ist George. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und 2016 geboren. Ich warte seit November 2016 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: George ist bei uns groß geworden, wie man dem Bild entnehmen kann. George ist ein anfänglich schüchternes Katerchen gewesen, wie sie viele Fundwinzlinge. Inzwischen ist er ein sanfter und äußerst neugieriger Bursche und auch wenn er inzwischen im kastrationsfähigen Alter ist, hat er von seinem niedlichen Charme nichts verloren. Er ist verschmust und ein kleines Sensiebelchen. Bei uns durfte er in Katzengesellschaft aufwachsen und gern würde er als Zweitkatze ausziehen.Das vorhandene Tier sollte ausgeglichen sein und kein Draufgänger.Gerne etwas fürsorglich veranlagt, damit George sich orientieren kann am neuen Gefährten oder an einer Gefährtin und sich nicht gleich überrumpelt fühlt.Dann würde George ein guter Katzenkumpel werden und nach einem Chek der Gesamtlage auch ein schmusetauglicher, frecher und verspielter Menschenfreund sein.Er peilt nur gern vorab die Lage. Wir wünschen uns für George eine Familie, sehr gern mit verständnisvollen Kindern, denn er ist eine echte Schmusebacke.Er ist mit der nötigen Geduld geeignet als Anfängertier, kann in reine Wohnungshaltung oder als späterer Freigänger vermittelt werden. Wer möchte George die Chance geben, endlich im Zuhause die vollkommene Sicherheit einer eigenen Familie zu erleben? Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About George

What life with George looks like

George is a small 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 George, answered.

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