Luke (Lucky)

Mixed Breed · Male

EKH Luke (45/16, around 2006) was found in June and had not been neutered or had his teeth treated when he tested positive for leukemia. As he had developed into a very affectionate cat during his quarantine at the reception, we took the chance and are very happy that Luke, now named Lucky, has found a home with one of our members in an apartment and single housing in August.

EKH Luke (45/16, ca. 2006) kamm im Juni als Fundtier und vor Kastra und Zahnsanierung wurde er auf Leukose positiv getestet. Da er sich hier in der Aufnahmequarantäne als absolut lieber Schmusekater entwickelt hatte, wagten wir den Versuch und freuen uns riesig, das Luke, der nun Lucky heisst, im August einen Platz bei einem unserer Mitglieder in Wohnungs und Einzelhaltung gefunden hat.

About Luke (Lucky)

What life with Luke (Lucky) looks like

Luke (Lucky) is a extra-large 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Luke (Lucky), answered.

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