How do I contact the shelter about Knatschi?

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

Can I adopt Knatschi 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 Knatschi 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 Knatschi 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 Knatschi 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.

Knatschi

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 6 years

Knatschi came to the shelter as a seizure by the veterinary office. He has lived with other cats before and is not completely incompatible with us, but unfortunately he still starts fights from time to time. Previously, he had to assert himself and this behavior is still with him. In addition, he was still unneutered when he arrived and his hormone levels need to be balanced out. We think that a confident cat friend by his side would do him good and we would like to place him as a second cat. Knatschi is very approachable and affectionate towards humans. If you are interested in one of our cats, please contact us by email. In the email, describe how the cat will live with you and send us a phone number. A caretaker will then contact you. Animal descriptions are based on observations in the shelter or on information from third parties and do not represent guaranteed properties.

DE·Show original

Knatschi kam als Sicherstellung durch das Veterinäramt ins Tierheim. Er hat vorher mit anderen Katzen zusammen gelebt und zeigt sich bei uns auch nicht komplett unverträglich, fängt aber auch leider immer mal wieder mal Streit an. Früher musste er sich behaupten und durchsetzen und dieses Verhalten hängt ihm nun noch nach. Zudem war er bei seiner Ankunft noch unkastriert und der Hormonspiegel muss sich noch einpegeln. Wir denken, dass ihm ein souveräner Katzenfreund an seiner Seite gut tun würde und möchten ihn gern als Zweitkatze vermitteln. Dem Menschen gegenüber zeigt sich Knatschi sehr zugänglich und verschmust. 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.

About Knatschi

What life with Knatschi looks like

Knatschi is a adult mixed breed cat 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.
