Panda schleicht durchs Leben

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

I am male, neutered, and was born in the spring of 2013. I have been waiting for a new home since October 2014. This is what my caregivers say about me: Panda is a classic case of a wild-born litter from a garden district that wasn't visited during the winter. When his first visit to the vet was approaching, he was brought to us. And has been waiting for his chance ever since. Because he grew up without direct contact with humans, except for being fed, he is now a rather shy tomcat who is still learning to get used to human hands. Initially always on the run, he now carefully observes when staff or visitors are in the adoption room. If he is not pressured, he remains relaxed. He even sneaks around the legs during feeding times, and takes treats from the hand. We think that in a quiet living environment and with daily practice, he will eventually get used to humans, although he will probably only open up to his family. Panda gets along very well with other animals; a life as a second cat would suit him. Ideally with outdoor access after proper adjustment. A secure balcony is also an alternative. The adjustment period will certainly take longer, as he needs more time to find his way when there is a change in his living environment. Here, cat experts are needed who have the necessary experience and patience that Panda requires. Anyone who feels capable of showing this wonderful panda what life in society and safety is like is welcome to visit us and Panda. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Ich bin männlich, kastriert und im Frühjahr 2013 geboren. Ich warte seit Oktober 2014 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Panda ist ein klassischer Fall eines wild aufgewachsenen Wurfes in einer Gartensiedlung, die dann über den Winter nicht besucht wird. Als sein erster Tierarztbesuch bevorstand, wurde er bei uns abgegeben. Und wartet seit dem auf seine Chance. Durch das Aufwachsen ohne direktem Kontakt zum Menschen, außer der Fütterung, ist er nun ein eher schüchterner Kater, der noch lernt, sich an die menschliche Hand zu gewöhnen. Anfänglich stets auf der Flucht beabachtet er inzwischen genau, wenn sich im Vermittlungszimmer Personal oder Besucher befinden. Wird er dabei nicht bedrängt, bleibt er entspannt. Zu den Fütterungen schleicht er auch schon um die Beine, Leckerchen nimmt er aus der Hand. Wir denken, in einem ruhigen Wohnumfeld und täglicher Übung wird er sich auch komplett an den Menschen gewöhnen, auch wenn er sich dann sicher nur auf seine Familie einlassen wird. Mit Artgenossen versteht sich Panda sehr gut, ein leben als Zweittier würde ihm gefallen. Gerne mit späterem Freigang nach entsprechender Eingewöhnung. Aber auch ein gesicherter Balkon ist eine Alternative. Die Eingewöhnungszeit wird sicher länger dauern, da er bei Veränderung des Wohnumfeldes mehr Zeit benötigt, sich zurecht zu finden. Hier sind Katzenkenner gefragt, welche die nötige Erfahrung und Geduld mitbringen, die panda benötigt. Wer sich zutraut, dem wunderschönen Panda zu zeigen, wie das Leben in der Gesellschaft und in Sicherheit ist, kann uns und Panda gern einen Besuch abstatten…

About Panda schleicht durchs Leben

What life with Panda schleicht durchs Leben looks like

Panda schleicht durchs Leben is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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 Panda schleicht durchs Leben, answered.

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