Moritz

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Dear Moritz was rehomed in May 2016 to an experienced owner in Bad Lausik with heart disease! ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… My name is Moritz. I am male, neutered and born around 2010. I have been waiting since February 2016 for a new home. This is what my caretakers say about me: Moritz is a stray cat and an absolute dream cat, we are amazed that he has not been missed. Perhaps it is due to his heart condition, which works too hard and he needs to take his medication every day to ease it. Then he has a good chance of a normal life expectancy. The new owners will receive the medication here at the beginning, the exact costs will be added later. Also, an annual heart ultrasound will be necessary in the future to check the dosage and adjust it if necessary. We would like you to be aware of this and ready to provide Moritz with the appropriate medical care if you are interested. Everything is done for this year, only his home is still missing. Moritz brings the best cat qualities that you can wish for. He is open and friendly without being intrusive or demanding. He gets along well with other animals. He still likes to play, but also loves cozy hours with his people. He can be rehomed into an apartment suitable living situation or into a home with later free roaming. Other animals are not a problem, he is also suitable as a beginner pet. Who fulfills his heart's desire for his own family in his own home? The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal may develop differently in the new home. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Der liebe Moritz konnte an Halter mit Erfahrung bei Herzerkrankungen im Mai 2016 nach Bad Lausik vermittelt werden! ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Mein Name ist Moritz. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und circa 2010 geboren. Ich warte seit Februar 2016 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Moritz ist ein Fundtier und ein absoluter Traumkater, wir staunen, das er nicht vermisst wird. Vielleicht liegt es an seinem Herzproblem, das arbeitet zu eifrig und er muss täglich seine Medizin bekommen, um es zu entlasten. Dann hat er eine gute Chance auf eine normale Lebenserwartung. Den Neubesitzern wird das Medikament hier zu Beginn mitgegeben, die genauen Kosten werden noch ergänzt. Auch ein jährlicher Herzultraschall ist zukünftig nötig, um die Dosierung zu überprüfen und diese gegebenenfalls anzupassen. Wir möchten, das Sie sich bei Interesse darüber bewusst sind und bereit sind, Moritz die entsprechende medizinische Betreuung zu ermöglichen. Für dieses Jahr ist alles abgeschlossen, nur sein Zuhause hat er noch nicht gefunden. Moritz bringt nur die besten Katereigenschaften mit, die man sich wünschen kann. Er ist offen und freundlich, ohne dabei aufdringlich oder gar fordernd zu sein. Er kommt mit Artgenossen prima zurecht. Er spielt noch gern, liebt aber auch die gemütlichen Stunden mit seinen Menschen. Er kann in reine Wohnungshaltung oder aber in ein Zuhause mit späterem Freigang vermittelt werden. Artgenossen sind kein Problem, als Anfängertier ist er auch geeignet. Wer erfüllt seinen Herzenswunsch nach seiner eigenen Familie im eigenen Zuhause? Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Moritz

What life with Moritz looks like

Moritz is a medium-sized 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 Moritz, answered.

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