How do I contact the shelter about Lumpi?

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

Can I adopt Lumpi 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 Lumpi 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 Lumpi 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 Lumpi 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.

Lumpi

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Lumpi was successfully rehomed to a kind and understanding new home in Bennewitz after our hand-feeding training at the end of May 2015. We are very happy about the success of the cuddling training... ——————————————————————————————– I am male, neutered, and born in 2014. I have been waiting for a new home since November 2014. This is what my caregivers say about me: Lumpi came to us with his Ihren siblings, all of whom grew up half-wild. While his brother is already comfortable being petted, Lumpi has some difficulties. Experience would be an advantage so that Louise has enough time to build trust. In the box we have already convinced him to snuggle, but in the adoption room he needs time to approach, is very cautious, and still needs practice in this area, which works well with food. We are convinced that Lumpi will eventually learn how nice cuddles can be. In the adoption room he observes us carefully and patiently, and when feeding he sometimes strokes around the legs. Love definitely goes through his stomach, which is a good chance for targeted training. Free access should only be enjoyed once he has settled in; it is not absolutely necessary. Lumpi can easily be placed with other animals that are compatible, or you can choose one of his siblings directly from us... Then the two could share their happiness in the future. This animal was surrendered to the shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Lumpi konnte nach unserem Handfütterungstraining Ende Mai 2015 direkt ins neue und verständnissvolle Zuhause nach Bennewitz vermittelt werden, wir freuen uns riesig über den Streicheltrainingserfolg… ——————————————————————————————– Ich bin männlich, kastriert und 2014 geboren. ich warte seit November 2014 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Lumpi ist mit Ihren Geschwistern bei uns abgegeben worden, alle sind halb wild aufgewachsen.Während sein Bruder schon gut streichelbar ist, tut Lumpi sich etwas schwerer.Hier wäre Erfahrung von Vorteil, damit Louise genügend Zeit hat, Vertrauen zu fassen.In der Box hatten wir ihn schon vom Schmusen überzeugen können, im Vermittlungszimmer benötigt er Zeit, um sich anzunähern, ist sehr vorsichtig und benötigt dahingehend noch Übung, was über Futter sehr gut funktioniert. Wir sind überzeugt, das Lumpi über kurz oder lang lernt, wie schön Streicheleinheiten sind.Im Vermittlungszimmer beobachtet er uns genau und sehr geduldig, beim Füttern streicht er ab und an um die Beine.Bei Ihm geht Liebe auf jeden fall durch den Magen, eine gute Chance für ein gezieltes Training. Freigang sollte er erst geniessen, wenn er sich eingewöhnt hat, zwingend nötig ist er nicht.Gern kann Lumpi zu Artgenossen, welche verträglich sein sollten oder man entscheidet sich direkt bei uns für einen seiner Geschwister…. Dann könnten die Beiden Ihr Glück zukünfig teilen….

About Lumpi

What life with Lumpi looks like

Lumpi is a medium-sized senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
