Adopt Kurt

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 2 years

He can be touched, but he hasn't yet built up enough trust to independently seek or demand cuddles. At the animal shelter, he often stays in the outdoor area, so we think he would also enjoy a leash-free walk in his new home. If you are interested in one of our cats, please contact us preferably by email. In the email, describe how the cat will live with you and send us a phone number. Then, a member of our animal care team will get in touch with you. Cat descriptions are based on observations at the animal shelter or information from third parties and do not represent guaranteed characteristics.

Er lässt sich zwar anfassen, hat jedoch noch nicht genug Vertrauen gefasst, um sich selbstständig Streicheleinheiten abzuholen oder einzufordern. Im Tierheim hält er sich oft im Außenbereich auf, sodass wir denken, er würde sich auch im neuen Zuhause über Freigang freuen. 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. Tierbeschreibungen basieren auf Beobachtungen im Tierheim oder auf Informationen Dritter und stellen keine zugesicherten Eigenschaften dar.

About Kurt

What life with Kurt looks like

Kurt is a young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kurt, answered.

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