How do I contact the shelter about Micha?

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

Can I adopt Micha 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 Micha 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 Micha 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 Micha 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.

Micha

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

I am female, neutered, and born in 2022. I have been waiting since December 2022 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Micha came to us as a found animal. Getting used to people will take a lot of time, so we are looking for a place for Micha in a protected environment where she might eventually work as a mouser, live freely, and be medically attended to if needed. A home where Micha has the space and time to build trust. She is now much more approachable and calmer with us. When we are nearby, she remains calm and observes us closely. She is also suitable for apartment living with company. She already comes closer when being fed than she did at the beginning. This is always a good sign for us. Petting her is also becoming a possibility. We hope that a place is found where Micha can be happy again and not have to rely on the soft paw. Maybe the situation will change over time and she will no longer view people as a threat; we have already seen the most adorable things….

Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2022 geboren. Ich warte seit Dezember 2022 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Micha kam als Fundtier zu uns.. Eine Gewöhnung an den Menschen wird viel Zeit brauchen und so suchen wir für Micha einen Platz im geschütztem Umfeld, wo sie später eventuell als Mäusefängerin einen Job hat, in Freiheit leben darf und bei Bedarf auch mal medizinisch versorgt wird. Ein Zuhause wo Micha gegebenenfalls Freiraum hat und Zeit, Vertrauen zu fassen. Bei uns ist sie inzwischen wesentlich zugänglicher und ruhiger. Wenn wir uns in Ihrer Nähe aufhalten, bleibt sie gelassen und beobachtet uns ganz genau. Auch reine Wohnungshaltung mit Gesellschaft ist denkbar. Beim Füttern kommt sie schon näher als zu Beginn. Für uns immer ein gutes Zeichen. Auch Streicheln ist dann schon mal drin. Wir hoffen, es findet sich ein Plätzchen, wo Micha wieder glücklich sein darf und keiner zu große Erwartungen an die Samtpfote hat.Vielleicht wendet sich das Blatt mit der Zeit und sie beginnt dann doch, den Menschen nicht mehr als Gefahr zu betrachten, wir haben schon die dollsten Dinger erlebt….

About Micha

What life with Micha looks like

Micha is a 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.
