How do I contact the shelter about Murka?

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

Can I adopt Murka 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 Murka 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 Murka 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 Murka 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.

Murka

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Murka found a new home thanks to tierisch tierisch in April 2017! ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. I am female, neutered, and born in 2002. I have been waiting for a new home since January 2017. My caretakers say about me: Murka is an abandonment cat who came to us due to a move. Naturally, it took her a few days to adjust to us. She is very cuddly and clingy and misses a home where she is spoiled and stroked. She is uncomplicated and likes cuddles and attention. And she also likes peace and quiet. At our place, she comes up short, and the cat group does not want to subject her to that. How she gets along with fellow animals would have to be tested, but we think with the necessary space, it should not be a problem if she gets enough attention. Her blood values were briefly alarming in the kidney area, her teeth are in top condition, and a vaccination is no longer necessary due to her age. Since the irregularities in her blood test, she has only received kidney diet from us. She prefers the Royal Canin wet food. Even though it is not strictly necessary, we recommend keeping this feeding largely the same, but of course, an occasional treat here and there can always happen. Our Murka should still be allowed to enjoy the full pampering program. Who would like to give Murka the chance to enjoy her twilight years in her own four walls …? The descriptions are impressions and photos of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal can develop differently in its new home.

Murka hat dank tierisch tierisch im April 2017 ein neues Zuhause gefunden! ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2002 geboren. Ich warte seit Januar 2017 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Murka ist eine Abgabekatze, die wegen Umzugs zu uns kam. Naturgemäß benötigte Murka ein paar Tage, sich bei uns zurecht zu finden. Sie ist sehr verschmust und anhänglich und vermisst ein Zuhause, wo sie verwöhnt und gestreichelt wird. Sie ist unkompliziert und mag Streicheleinheiten und Aufmerksamkeit.Und Ruhe, die mag sie auch.Bei uns kommt sie einfach zu kurz und die Katzengruppe wollen wir Ihr ungern zumuten. Wie sie mit Artgenossen zurecht kommt, müsste man ausprobieren, wir denken mit dem nötigen Raum ist es kein Problem, wenn sie genügend Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Ihre Blutwerte waren kurzzetig auffällig im Nierenbereich, die Zähne sind top, eine Impfung wird auf Grund des Alters nicht mehr erfolgen. Von uns bekommt sie seit den Unregelmäßigkeiten im Blutbild ausschließlich Nierendiät.Beim Nassfutter bevorzugt sie das von Royal Canin.Auch wenn es nicht zwingend nötig ist, empfehlen wir diese Fütterung weitestgehend beizubehalten, ein Leckerlie hier und da kann natürlich immer mal dazukommen, unsere Murka sollte unbedingt noch einmal das volle Verwöhnprogramm genießen dürfen. Wer möchte Murka die Chance geben, ihren Lebensabend doch noch in den eigenen vier Wänden geniessen zu können ……? Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Murka

What life with Murka looks like

Murka is a 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.
