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

Can I adopt Sammy &#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 Sammy &#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 Sammy &#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 Sammy &#8211 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Sammy &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

I am female, neutered, microchipped, and born around 2012. I have been waiting since January 2019 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Sammy is a surrender cat, as the owners' professional lives changed so much that the entire animal population had to be dissolved. She came to us with two other cats and is purely suitable for apartment living. She is clingy, loving, and uncomplicated. Whether she lives with or without other animals, Sammy is relatively indifferent. She gets along with them but does not place a high value on it. What is much more important to her are her people and their attention. She would also be happy to live outdoors later on if Sammy likes that. Due to a FORL condition, all of Sammy's teeth were removed, which does not affect her eating behavior; she eats both wet and dry food. Therefore, Sammy is fully treated, and further treatments are not an option. Since it does not bother Sammy, the new owners should also accept this. She is unpretentious and cuddly and affectionate. Whether she is rehomed into a family with children or as a companion for a retiree, it is unimportant to her. The main thing is that she becomes the center of her new family…

Ich bin weiblich, kastriert, gechipt und circa 2012 geboren. Ich warte seit Januar 2019 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Sammy ist eine Abgabekatze, da die Besitzer sich beruflich derart verändert haben, das der komplette Tierbestand aufgelöst werden musste. Sie kam mit zwei weiteren Katzen zu uns und stammt aus reiner Wohnungshaltung.Sie ist anhänglich, lieb und unkompliziert.Ob sie mit oder ohne Artgenossen lebt, ist Sammy relativ gleich.Sie kommt mit ihnen zurecht, legt aber keinen gesteigerten Wert darauf. Viel wichtiger sind ihr ihre Menschen und deren Aufmerksamkeit.Gern könnte sie auch als späterer Freigänger leben, wenn Sammy das mag. Auf Grund einer FORL Erkrankung wurden Sammy sämtliche Zähne entfernt, was ihrem Fressverhalten keinen Abbruch tut, sie frisst Nass und Trockenfutter. Dadurch ist Sammy fertig behandelt, weitere Behandlungen stehen aus diesem Grund nicht an.Da es Sammy nicht stört, sollten die Neubesitzer das ebenso gelassen hinnehmen. Sie ist anspruchslos und verschmust und anschmiegsam. Ob sie in eine Familie mit Kindern oder als Gesellschafterin für einen Ruheständler vermittelt wird ist ihr gleich.Hauptsache sie wird der Mittelpunkt ihrer neuen Familie…
