How do I contact the shelter about Judy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Oelzschau handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Judy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Judy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Oelzschau 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 Judy 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 Judy 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 Oelzschau early rather than rehoming privately; they know Judy 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.

Judy

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

Judy is currently in a foster home Judy – Loving, cuddly, and searching for her forever home, Judy has unfortunately not experienced only happiness in her past life. She came to us as a found animal, after a large part of her tail had fallen off. Thanks to an operation, this area is now treated, but she is still missing a piece of her small happiness. Despite her difficult past, Judy is an incredibly cuddly and loving cat. She always seeks the company of humans and enjoys every pat. Anyone who looks into her large, gentle eyes immediately realizes: Judy simply wants to be loved. Judy should only be rehomed in an apartment suitable for living, preferably with a secure balcony. As she tested positive for Mycoplasma and Calicivirus, she can only be rehomed with other tested positive cats or as a single princess. Health considerations Due to her lost tail, Judy has difficulties with urination and is currently under veterinary treatment. Whether this will fully improve is currently uncertain. We are happy to share more details about her health status in a personal conversation. Judy is waiting for people who will finally give her security, love, and a real home. She is ready to give her heart away – to people who take her as she is. Who opens their heart to this special cat and gives her a life full of security?. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Judy befindet sich aktuell auf Pflegestelle Judy – Liebevoll, verschmust und auf der Suche nach ihrem Zuhause Judy hat in ihrem bisherigen Leben leider nicht nur Glück erfahren. Sie kam zu uns als Fundtier, nachdem ein großer Teil ihres Schwanzes abgefallen war. Dank einer Operation ist dieser Bereich nun versorgt, doch ihr fehlt ein Stück ihres kleinen Glücks. Trotz ihrer schwierigen Vergangenheit ist Judy eine unglaublich verschmuste und liebevolle Katze. Sie sucht stets die Nähe zu Menschen und genießt jede Streicheleinheit. Wer einmal in ihre großen, sanften Augen schaut, merkt sofort: Judy möchte einfach nur geliebt werden. Judy soll ausschließlich in Wohnungshaltung vermittelt werden, gerne mit gesichertem Balkon. Da sie auf Mycoplasmen und Calicivirus positiv getestet wurde, kann sie ausschließlich zu ebenfalls positiv getesteten Katzen oder als Einzelprinzessin ausziehen. Gesundheitliche Besonderheiten Aufgrund ihres verlorenen Schwanzes hat Judy Schwierigkeiten beim Harnabsatz und ist aktuell in tierärztlicher Behandlung. Ob sich dies vollständig bessern wird, lässt sich derzeit nicht sicher sagen. Weitere Details zu ihrem Gesundheitszustand teilen wir gerne in einem persönlichen Gespräch. Judy wartet auf Menschen, die ihr endlich Sicherheit, Liebe und ein echtes Zuhause geben. Sie ist bereit, ihr Herz zu verschenken – an Menschen, die sie so nehmen, wie sie ist. Wer öffnet sein Herz für diese besondere Katze und schenkt ihr ein Leben voller Geborgenheit? Vor Judy ihrer

About Judy

What life with Judy looks like

Judy is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Oelzschau in Oelzschau.

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.
