Oma Ursel

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Senior · 12 years

Oma Ursel is very affectionate and cuddly with us. As an old lady cat, she is looking for a quiet home. Since she gets along well with other cats here, we would like her to find a similarly old cat in her new home. A blood test at the shelter did not reveal anything relevant, but we would like the new owners to have her blood values checked regularly to detect age-related diseases early. If you are interested in one of our cats, please contact us by email. In your email, please describe how the cat will live with you and send us a phone number. A caretaker will then contact you. Animal descriptions are based on observations at the shelter or information from third parties and do not represent guaranteed characteristics.

Oma Ursel zeigt sich bei uns sehr menschenbezogen und verschmust. Als alte Katzendame sucht sie ein ruhiges Zuhause. Da sie sich bei uns mit anderen Katzen gut verträgt, wünschen wir uns auch eine ähnlich alte Katze im neuen Zuhause. Bei einem Blutbild im Tierheim konnte nichts relevantes festgestellt werden, die Übernehmer sollten aber die Blutwerte regelmäßig überprüfen lassen, um frühzeitig altersbedingte Krankheiten zu erkennen. Wenn Sie Interesse an einer unserer Katzen haben, kontaktieren Sie uns bevorzugt per E-Mail. Schildern Sie uns in der Mail, wie die Katze bei Ihnen leben wird und senden Sie uns eine Telefonnummer zu. Es wird sich dann ein*e TierpflegerIn bei Ihnen melden. Tierbeschreibungen basieren auf Beobachtungen im Tierheim oder auf Informationen Dritter und stellen keine zugesicherten Eigenschaften dar.

About Oma Ursel

What life with Oma Ursel looks like

Oma Ursel is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Leipzig in Leipzig.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Oma Ursel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Oma Ursel?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Leipzig handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Oma Ursel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Oma Ursel if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Leipzig 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 Oma Ursel 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 Oma Ursel 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 Leipzig early rather than rehoming privately; they know Oma Ursel 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.
