Peter &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

I am male, neutered, microchipped, and born around 2020. I have been waiting since June 2023 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Peter is a found animal in the region who has not been missed. An initial attempt at rehoming failed due to the presence of an older cat. Peter is more of an independent tomcat who gets along with his veterinary friends, but he does not seek much proximity. He can be rehomed with enough space and some distance from fellow animals, but he would also be content as a lone prince. Some excursions into the green would please the Blue, but they are not necessary. Children are no problem for Peter, he will simply retreat if he feels crowded. Who would like to embark on a journey with Peter into the Blue that lasts a lifetime?

Ich bin männlich, kastriert, gechipt und circa 2020 geboren. Ich warte seit Juni 2023 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Peter ist ein Fundtier der Region, der nicht vermisst wurde. Ein erster Vermittlungsversuch scheiterte auf Grund des vorhandenen älteren Katers. Peter ist ein eher eigenständiger Kater, der sich mit seinen Arzgenossen arrangiert, wirklich Nähe sucht er jedoch nicht. Er kann mit ausreichend Raum und Rückzug zu Artgenossen vermittelt werden, würde sich aber auch als Einzelprinz wohl fühlen. Spätere Streifzüge im Grünen würden dem Blauen gefallen, sind aber kein Muss. Kinder sind kein Problem für Peter, fühlt er sich bedrängt, verzieht er sich einfach. Wer möchte mit Peter gemeinsam eine Fahrt ins Blaue machen, die sein Leben lang währt?

About Peter &#8211

What life with Peter &#8211 looks like

Peter &#8211 is a medium-sized young 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 Peter &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Peter &#8211?
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 Peter &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Peter &#8211 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 Peter &#8211 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 Peter &#8211 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 Peter &#8211 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.
