How do I contact the shelter about Heidi?

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

Can I adopt Heidi 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 Heidi 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 Heidi 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 Heidi 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.

Heidi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

I am female, neutered, and born around 2005. I have been waiting for a new home since June 2019. My caretakers say about me: Heidi is a shelter cat, her owner passed away, and her partner did not get along with Heidi. For us, it is hard to understand, but Heidi is actually quite uncomplicated, though she can be a bit stubborn at times. Heidi is a delicate purring machine, and the move to a new home is causing her some stress. Her blood work is age-appropriate and in order, but unfortunately, due to a heart murmur, she had to undergo an echo. She is now well-adjusted to her medication, which she takes easily with her food. Heidi can be adopted as either a single or a second cat, and she doesn’t really mind either way. She would benefit from a bit more attention than we can give her and a little more relaxation. Since there are not many options for separate feeding, it would be wonderful if one of the kind old cat ladies could take her in and give her a comfortable old age.

Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2005 geboren. Ich warte seit Juni 2019 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Heidi ist ein Abgabetier, ihre Besitzerin verstarb, der Partner kam mit Heidi nicht zurecht. Für uns unverständlich, Heidi ist zwar ab und an etwas eigen, ganz grundsätzlich aber unkompliziert. Heidi ist ein zartes Miezchen, ihr macht der Umzug zu schaffen.Die Blutwerte sind altersentsprechend in Ordnung, leider musste auf Grund eines Herzgeräuschs, ein schall durchgeführt werden. Inzwischen ist sie gut auf ihre Medikamente eingestellt, die sie problemlos über ihr Futter zu sich nimmt. Heidi kann als Einzel oder als Zweittier ausziehen, ihr ist das relativ gleich.nur mehr Aufmerksamkeit als bei uns und etwas mehr Entspannung würden ihr sicher gut tun. Da hier nicht so viele Möglichkeiten bestehen, separat zu füttern, wäre es schön, wenn sich jemens der netten alten Katzenlady annehmen und ihr einen schönen Lebensabend bescheeren würde.

About Heidi

What life with Heidi looks like

Heidi is a 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.
