Iglesias

Persian · Male · Adult · 5 years

Iglesias came to our shelter as a stray. He is calm but gets along well with other cats. Due to his long fur, the increased time required for grooming should be considered. Iglesias is a Scottish Fold, which is a breed that has been bred to have health issues, and the cartilage defect responsible for his folded ears often leads to joint and cartilage changes. Deformations on Bara's paws are already visible, but he currently does not need pain medication. The likelihood of him developing further problems is increased. Since Scottish Folds often have difficulty communicating with other cats, we would like to consider placing him with Bara (also a Dchottish Fold). Iglesias also suffers from chronic eye problems. If you are interested in one of our cats, please contact us by email. In your email, please describe how the cat will live with you and provide a phone number. A caretaker will then contact you. Animal descriptions are based on observations in the shelter or information from third parties and do not represent guaranteed characteristics.

Iglesias kam als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim. Er zeigt sich bei uns ruhig aber verträglich mit Artgenossen. Da er langes Fell hat, sollte der erhöhte Zeitaufwand für die Fellpflege bedacht werden. Iglesias ist eine Scottish Fold und somit eine Qualzucht, der Knorpeldefekt der für die abgeknickten Ohren verantwortlich ist, führt oft auch zu Gelenks- und Knorpelveränderungen. Bei Iglesias sind starke Deformationen an den Pfoten bereits sichtbar, er wird dauerhaft auf Schmerzmittel angewiesen sein. Da Scottish Fold Katzen oft Schwierigkeiten mit der Kommunikation mit Artgenossen haben, könnten wir uns gut vorstellen, ihn zusammen mit Bara (ebenfalls Scottish Fold) zu vermitteln. Auch leidet Iglesias an chronischen Augenproblemen. Wenn Sie Interesse an einer unserer Katzen haben, kontaktieren Sie uns bevorzugt per E-Mail. Schildern Sie uns in der Mail, wie die Katze bei Ihnen leben wird und senden Sie uns eine Telefonnummer zu. Es wird sich dann ein*e TierpflegerIn bei Ihnen melden. Tierbeschreibungen basieren auf Beobachtungen im Tierheim oder auf Informationen Dritter und stellen keine zugesicherten Eigenschaften dar.

About Iglesias

What life with Iglesias looks like

Iglesias is a adult persian cat waiting at Tierheim Leipzig in Leipzig.

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 Iglesias, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Iglesias?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Leipzig handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Iglesias on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Iglesias if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Leipzig 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 Iglesias 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 Iglesias 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 Leipzig early rather than rehoming privately; they know Iglesias 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.
