Purzeline

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

EKH Purzeline could still be rehomed during the hand-feeding training in March 2015 to patient adopters who will continue the training at home and turn Purzelinchen into a Schmesemiez. ————————————————————————————————— My name is Purzeline. I am female, spayed, and born in 2014. I have been waiting for a new home since February 2015. This is what my caretakers say about me: Purzeline came with other cats from a semi-wild population, some have been rehomed, others are still waiting for their chance. Purzelinchen has had a small training, and through hand-feeding we were able to achieve that she finally discovered the pleasure of being petted. Even though she still growls when there is a lot of commotion, it is no longer necessary to feed her only from the hand, just the hand without food is enough. However, chaos should not dominate, Purzeline needs a careful approach, the new owners should continue to practice consciously in order to gain her trust completely. Surely Purzeline will initially prefer hiding places and holes and need to get used to her surroundings. Therefore, patience should be brought along, she is not a cat that immediately cuddles. Until she is fully trusting, she should live in an apartment suitable environment, and only later possibly enjoy free roaming, it is not absolutely necessary. We would be happy if Purzeline finds an owner who continues our work and wants to offer her a life in safety and security. eMail:. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

EKH Purzeline konnte noch während des Handfütterungstrainings im März 2015 an geduldige Interessenten vermittelt werden, die das begonnene Training zu Hause fortführen und aus Purzelinchen eine Schmesemiez machen werden. ————————————————————————————————— Mein Name ist Purzeline. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2014 geboren. Ich warte seit Februar 2015 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Purzeline kam mit weiteren Katzen aus einem halbwilden Bestand, einige sind vermittelt, andere warten noch auf Ihre Chance. Purzelinchen hat ein kleines Training hinter sich, mit Handfütterung konnten wir erreichen, das sie endlich das Streicheln für sich endeckt hat.Auch wenn sie bei viel Trubel gerne noch faucht, ist es nun nicht mehr nötig, sie nur aus der Hand zu füttern, die Hand ohne Futter genügt. Nur Hektik sollte nicht vorherrschen, Purzeline benötigt eine vorsichtige Annäherung, die neuen Halter sollten weiter bewusst üben, um ihr Vertrauen endgültig zu gewinnen. Sicher wird Purzeline anfänglich Verstecke und Höhlen bevorzugen und sich erst eingewöhnen müssen.Geduld sollte also mitgebracht werden, sie ist keine Miez, die umgehend kuschelt. Bis sie vollständig vertraut, sollte sie in einer Wohnungshaltung leben, erst danach eventuell Freigang genießen, zwingend nötig ist es nicht. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Purzeline Halter findet, die unsere Arbeit fortsetzen und ihr ein Leben in Sicherheit und Geborgenheit bieten möchten. eMail:

About Purzeline

What life with Purzeline looks like

Purzeline is a small 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 Purzeline, answered.

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