Murka

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

The cute black-and-white Murka only recently came to us at our shelter. The young female cat was born in summer 2025 and is full of curiosity and a spirit of discovery. She was given up because her previous owner has recently changed their career path and is leaving their familiar living environment. Everything has changed for Murka overnight. No wonder she needs time to process the new situation and the unfamiliar surroundings. At the moment, she still shows some insecurity and confusion, but it's clear that behind her cautious nature lies a loving, friendly, and open-minded cat. So far, Murka has only lived as an apartment cat and would like to find a loving home suitable for apartment living in the future. We will observe whether she gets along with other cats more closely in the coming weeks.

Die hübsche schwarz-weiße Murka kam erst vor Kurzem zu uns ins Tierheim. Die junge Katzendame wurde im Sommer 2025 geboren und steckt voller Neugier und Entdeckergeist. Abgegeben wurde sie, weil sich ihr bisheriger Besitzer beruflich neu orientiert und sein gewohntes Lebensumfeld verlässt. Für Murka hat sich damit von heute auf morgen alles verändert. Kein Wunder also, dass sie die neue Situation und die ungewohnte Umgebung erst einmal verarbeiten muss. Aktuell zeigt sie sich noch etwas verunsichert und verwirrt, doch man merkt schnell, dass hinter ihrer vorsichtigen Art eine liebe, freundliche und aufgeschlossene Katze steckt. Bisher lebte Murka ausschließlich als Wohnungskatze und möchte auch künftig ein liebevolles Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung beziehen. Ob sie sich mit anderen Katzen versteht, werden wir in den kommenden Wochen noch genauer beobachten. Wer einer jungen Katze mit großem Herz etwas Zeit zum Ankommen schenkt, wird in Murka sicherlich eine wunderbare Begleiterin fürs Leben finden

About Murka

What life with Murka looks like

Murka is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierasyl Chemnitz in Germany.

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 Murka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Murka?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierasyl Chemnitz 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 — Tierasyl Chemnitz 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 Tierasyl Chemnitz 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.
