How do I contact the shelter about Katrin?

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 Katrin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Katrin 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 Katrin 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 Katrin 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 Katrin 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.

Katrin

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

EKH Katrin (30/15, about 2007) was rehomed to Fuchshain in August 2016. ... My name is Katrin. I am female, spayed and born around 2007. I have been waiting for a new home since May 2015. This is what my caretakers say about me: Katrin came to us as a stray and is not missed. Katrin is a real soft paw. Loving and affectionate, as long as she feels like it. Then she tells and shows when enough is enough. Nevertheless, Katrin is a lovable cat who had to learn to stand up for herself. For her age, she is pleasantly active, gets along with the other animals here because she has to, but in the new home she does not need other animals. She simply keeps all at a distance; if there are other cats in the new home, enough space must be available. Then cohabitation is possible. Katrin is suitable as an introductory pet, if you give her some time at the beginning. She is a bit peculiar, but cuddly, not a daredevil and not a whirlwind. Katrin can be rehomed as an apartment cat or as a later outdoor cat. There shouldn't be too much commotion in the new home, if there are children, they should show understanding for her peculiarities. Anyone who wants to get to know Katrin is welcome to visit her and give her the chance to finally move into her own realm ... The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal can develop differently in the new home.

EKH Katrin ( 30/15, ca. 2007) konnte im August 2016 nach Fuchshain vermittelt werden. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Mein Name ist Katrin. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2007 geboren. Ich warte seit Mai 2015 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Katrin kam als Fundtier zu uns und wird nicht vermisst. Katrin ist eine echte Samtpfote. Lieb und anschmiegsam, so lange sie Lust hat.Dann sagt und zeigt sie, wann es genügt. Trotzdem ist Katrin eine liebenswerte Miez, die lernen musste, sich durchzusetzen. Für Ihr Alter ist sie angenehm aktiv, mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sich Katrin bei uns, weil sie muss, im neuen Zuhause benötigt sie keine Artgenossen. Sie hält schlicht alle auf Distanz, sollten im neuen Zuhause weitere Katzen vorhanden sein, muss genügend Raum zur Verfügung stehen. Dann ist eine Vergesellschaftung vorstellbar . Katrin ist als Anfängertier geeignet, wenn ma ihr zu Beginn etwas Zeit lässt. Sie ist etwas eigenwillig, aber verschmust, kein Draufgänger und kein Wirbnelwind. Katrin kann in reine Wohnungshaltung oder auch als späterer Freigänger vermittelt werden. Zu viel Trubel sollte nicht im neuen Zuhause herrschen, sind Kinder vorhanden, sollten diese schon Verständnis für ihre Eigenheiten zeigen. Wer Lust hat, Katrin kennenzulernen, darf sie gern besuchen kommen und ihr die Chance geben, endlich in ein eigenes Reich umzuziehen …. Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Katrin

What life with Katrin looks like

Katrin 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.
