Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

My name is Janosh. I am male, neutered, and born around 2016. I have been waiting since January 2018 for a new home. My caretakers say: Janosh was part of an intake by the veterinary office. About 30 cats were secured in a two-room apartment and distributed to surrounding animal welfare organizations. All were more or less anxious, but not shy and easily handled. They are exceptionally good with fellow animals, so we would like to place Janosh as a second pet. In the meantime, Janosh enjoys cuddles when he doesn't immediately notice a hand approaching him. He enjoys this so much that we are convinced he will quickly become a snuggly cat with individual care, once he has settled in. Otherwise, Janosh is very easy to care for and unpretentious, only the necessary finesse and patience in the initial phase are prerequisites for a relaxed cohabitation with Janosh. Whether purely suitable for apartment living or a home where later outdoor access would be possible, Janosh is open to everything. Who would like to stand by Janosh on his way to becoming a snuggly cat?. Gets along with other dogs.

Mein Name ist Janosh. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und circa 2016 geboren. Ich warte seit Januar 2018 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Janosh gehört zu einem Einzug des Veterinäramts.Um die 30 Katzen wurden in einer Zweiraumwohnung gesichert und auf umliegende Tierschutzvereine verteilt. Alle waren mehr oder weniger ängstlich, aber nicht scheu und gut händelbar. Sie sind ausgesprochen gut verträglich mit Artgenossen, daher würden wir Janosh gern als Zweittier vermitteln. Inzwischen mag Janosh Streicheleinheiten, wenn er direkt nicht bemerkt, das eine Hand auf ihn zukommt. Er genießt das förmlich, deswegen sind wir überzeugt, das er bei individueller Betreuung sehr schnell zum Kuschelkater mutiert, hat er sich erst einmal eingelebt. Ansonsten ist Janosh sehr pflegeleicht und anspruchslos, nur das nötige Feingefühl und die Geduld in dr Startphase sind Vorraussetzung für eine entspannte Wohngemeinschaft mit Janosh.Ob reine Wohnungshaltung oder ein Zuhause, wo später Freigang möglich wäre, Janosh ist für alles offen. Wer möchte Janosh auf seinem Weg zum Kuscheltier zur Seite stehen?

What life with Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut looks like

Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut?
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 Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut 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 Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut 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 Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut 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 Janosch – Schmusemiez, die sich noch nicht traut 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.
