Rosaly

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Rosaly was rehomed to Leipzig as a second cat in November 2017 after waiting for almost five years - we are very happy and wish her lots of luck and success in settling in! ………………………………………………………………………………………. My name is Rosaly. I am female, spayed and born around 2011. I have been waiting for a new home since November 2012. This is what my caregivers say about me: Rosaly came as a stray cat from one of our contracted municipalities. She has always been shy and reserved, and we could even touch her in the cage. For a short time, there was hope that she might be a missing cat, unfortunately that was not the case. So she first went through the usual procedure, was treated for fleas, dewormed, spayed and then moved into the adoption room. There she presents herself as a shy cat, unfortunately. Initially, she would quickly run away when someone came into the room. That has now passed and she now watches everything and everyone who is in the room. If no attempts at approaching happen, she remains calmly sitting. Patience and understanding are needed here. She gets along well with other animals, but a quiet household is a must. She likes hand-feeding and being cuddled, but she prefers to be at the back. We are sure that Rosaly chooses her people and will not be distant later. Only to her trusted persons she will give her heart..... eMail:. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

Rosaly konnte nach fast fünf Jahren Wartezeit im November 2017 als Zweitkatze nach Leipzig vermittelt werden – wir freuen uns sehr und wünschen viel Glück und Erfolg bei der Eingewöhnung! ………………………………………………………………………………………. Mein Name ist Rosaly. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2011 geboren. Ich warte seit November 2012 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Rosaly kam als Fundkatze aus einer unserer Vertragsgemeinden. Ängstlich und zurückhaltend war sie schon immer, in der Box konnten wir sie auch anfassen.Kurzzeitig bestand die Hoffnung, das es sich bei Ihr um eine vermisste Miez handelte, leider war dem nicht so. So durchlief sie ersteinmal die übliche Prozedur, wurde entfloht, entwurmt, kastriert und durfte dann ins Vermittlungszimmer umziehen.Dort präsentiert sie sich wie eine scheue Miez, leider.Anfänglich suchte sie flott das Weite, wenn jemand ins Zimmer kam.Das hat sich schon gelegt und sie beobachtet nun alles und jeden , der sich im Zimmer aufhält.Entstehen keine Annäherungsversuche, bleibt sie entspannt sitzen. Hier werden Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen benötigt.Mit Artgenossen versteht sie sich gut, es sollte aber in jedem Fall ein ruhiger Haushalt sein.Mit Handfütterung und dem Wunsch zu kuscheln, hinten an gestellt.Wir sind sicher, Rosaly ist eine Mieze, die sich Ihre Menschen aussucht und später auch nicht fremdelt.Einzig und allein ihren Vertrauenspersonen wird sie ihr Herz schenken….. eMail:

About Rosaly

What life with Rosaly looks like

Rosaly is a medium-sized 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 Rosaly, answered.

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