Heike

Mixed Breed · Female

My name is Heike. I am female, neutered, microchipped, and was born around mid-2023. I have been waiting since summer 2024 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Heike is a found cat in the region, no one has missed her. She went through the usual procedures with us and is now waiting for patient new caretakers. She needs time and patience to build trust. She gets along well with her fellow animals, so she is preferably rehomed as a second cat. She can be rehomed as a suitable apartment cat, preferably with a balcony, or alternatively as a later outdoor cat. Children should be understanding and also a bit older if present. Who would like to offer Heike a safe and happy life, even if it means giving up time and possibly a long life?

Mein Name ist Heike . Ich bin weiblich, kastriert, gechippt und bin circa Mitte 2023 geboren. Ich warte seit dem Sommer 2024 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Heike ist eine Fundkatze der Region, die niemand vermisst hat. Bei uns durchlief sie das übliche Prozedere und wartet nun auf geduldige neue Dosenöffner. Sie benötigt Zeit und Geduld, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Dabei versteht sie sich ausgezeichnet mit ihren Artgenossen, daher wird sie bevorzugt als Zweitkatze vermittelt. Sie kann in reine Wohnungshaltung, gern auch mit Balkon oder alternativ als späterer Freigänger vermittelt werden. Kinder sollten entsprechend verständnisvoll und auch schon etwas größer sein, wenn vorhanden. Wer möchte unserer Heike ein schönes Leben in Sicherheit bieten, auf das zeit lebens verzichten musste?

About Heike

What life with Heike looks like

Heike 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 Heike, answered.

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