Horst

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Horst could be rehomed thanks to Tierisch, Tierisch on March 25, 2018. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… I am male, neutered, and born around 2008. I have been waiting for a new home since January 2018. My caretakers say about me: Horst came to us as a found cat from the region and initially appeared somewhat energetic. His enthusiasm was also limited at first, but that has since changed. He is a people-oriented snuggle cat and very friendly in terms of making contact. Horst likes his fellow animals, but there are exceptions; he puts some forward and pushy young bucks in their place, especially when it comes to cuddling. However, this is more the exception; if there is enough space, a life as a second cat is no problem. He is ideal as a beginner animal, can happily live in a family with children, and is also suitable for apartment living or a life as a later outdoor cat. Who would like to offer the imposing senior a nice home and give him the attention he finally deserves?

Horst konnte dank Tierisch, Tierisch am 25.03.2018 vermittelt werden. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… Ich bin männlich, kastriert und circa 2008 geboren. Ich warte seit Januar 2018 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Horst kam als Fundkater der Region zu uns und sah anfänglich etwas mitgenommen aus.Auch seine Begeisterung hielt sich fürd Erste in Grenzen, was sich aber zwischenzeitlich gelegt hat. Er ist ein menschenbezogener Schmusekater und sehr kontaktfreudig.horst mag seine Artgenossen, bis auf Ausnahmen, manch vorlauten und drängelnden Jungspund weist er in die Schranken, besonders wenn es ums Kuscheln geht.das ist jedoch eher die Ausnahme, wenn genug Raum vorhanden ist, ist ein Leben als Zweitkater kein Problem. Er ist ideal als Anfängertier geeignet, kann gern in eine Familie mit Kindern und auch reine Wohnungshaltung oder aber ein leben als späterer Freigänger sind kein problem. Wer möchte dem imposanten Senior ein schönes Zuhause bieten und ihm die Aufmerksamkeit schenken, die er endlich verdient hat….?

About Horst

What life with Horst looks like

Horst 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 Horst, answered.

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