Ivana

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

The beautiful Ivana was rehomed on 13.08.16 with later outdoor access to Leisnig. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. I am female, spayed and born in 2014. I have been waiting for a new home since March 2016. This is what my caregivers say about me: Ivana is an animal that was surrendered from the Leipzig area. Originally found in a shed, she was taken care of and then rehomed with her sister in a suitable for apartment living environment. After they grew up, it turned out that both became dirty when they had the whole apartment to themselves. Both remained clean when only the kitchen and the balcony were available to them. After medical issues were clarified, an alternative approach was attempted to solve the problem. Since both did not have a strong bond, the sister went back to the original foster home. Since the separation ultimately did not work and the owners want to spare Ivana a life exclusively in the kitchen and balcony, Ivana came to us. Specifically moved to a rural area, Ivane must definitely be rehomed for later outdoor access. She is beautiful, during the quarantine period she was the absolute affection cat, so it surprises us that she always hides in the room. You need patience and if you wait for her, you can also cuddle Ivana. With a food training, Ivana can certainly be convinced that petting is great, because she actually enjoys it, she just doesn't dare at first. Once she overcomes her fear, you realize that she is very gentle, never a daredevil. Therefore, a rather quiet home is sought. For Ivana you need a little understanding, which you have to give her.

Die schöne Ivana konnte am 13.08.16 mit späterem Freigang nach Leisnig vermittelt werden. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2014 geboren. Ich warte seit März 2016 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Ivana ist ein Abgabetier aus dem Raum Leipzig. Ursprünglich in einem Abrisshaus gefunden konnte sie nach der Versorgung auf einer Pflegestelle gemeinsam mit Ihrer Schwester in Wohnungshaltung vermittelt werden. Dort stellte sich nach dem Erwachsenwerden heraus, das beide unsauber wurden, wenn sie die ganze Wohnung für sich nutzen können. Sauber blieben beide, wenn ihnen nur die Küche und der Balkon zur Verfügung stand. Nachdem medizinisch alles abgeklärt war, wurde im alternativen Bereich versucht, das Problem zu lösen. Da beide nicht so aneinander hingen, zog die Schwester wieder zurück zur ursprünglichen Pflegestelle. Da auch die Trennung der Damen schlussendlich keinen Erfolg hatte und die Besitzer ihr ein Leben ausschliesslich in Küche und Balkon ersparen möchten, kam Ivana zu uns. Extra in ländliche Gegend, den Ivane soll unbedingt in spätere Freigangshaltung vermittelt werden. Sie ist wunderschön, war in der Quarantänezeit die absolute Schmusekatze, so das es uns wundert, das sie im Zimmer immer so untergeht. Man benötigt Geduld und wenn man auf sie wartet, kann man Ivana auch beschmusen. Mit einem Futtertraining ist Ivana sicher davon zu überzeugen, das Streicheln toll ist, denn eigentlich geniesst sie es ja, sie traut sich nur zu Anfang nicht.Hat sie sich überwunden, merkt man, das sie sehr sanft ist, niemals ein Draufgänger. Deswegen wird ein eher ruhiges Zuhause gesucht. Für Ivana benötigt man ein wenig Verständnis, was man ihr schenken muss. Ein ruhiger Haushalt, eventuell bei einer Einzelperson, unbedingt mit späterer Freigangmöglichkeit sind Vorraussetzung bei

About Ivana

What life with Ivana looks like

Ivana 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 Ivana, answered.

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