Lorna

British Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Lorna came to the shelter with another cat. Since the two do not interact much in the room and do not get along well, we are placing them separately. Lorna is familiar with living with other cats, so we want to place her in a household with a similarly aged female second cat. She is initially reserved with people but becomes more approachable later. If you are interested in one of our cats, please contact us by email. In your email, describe how the cat will live with you and include a phone number. A caretaker will then contact you. Animal descriptions are based on observations at the shelter or information from third parties and do not represent guaranteed characteristics.

Lorna kam zusammen mit einem weiteren Kater ins Tierheim. Da die beiden im Zimmer nicht viel miteinander interagieren und nicht gut zusammen passen, vermitteln wir sie getrennt voneinander. Lorna kennt das Zusammenleben mit Artgenossen und so wollen wir sie in einen Haushalt mit einer ähnlich alten weiblichen Zweitkatze vermitteln. Menschen gegenüber verhält sie sich anfangs zurückhaltend, später auch zugänglich. 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 Lorna

What life with Lorna looks like

Lorna is a adult british shorthair 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 Lorna, answered.

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