How do I contact the shelter about Samurai?

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 Samurai on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Samurai 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 Samurai 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 Samurai 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 Samurai 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.

Samurai

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

EKH Samurai was rehomed as a second cat to MorleMüller (former Samtpfote of ours) in September 2015 to Grimma. My name is Samurai. I am male, neutered, and born around 2011. I have been waiting for a new home since July 2015. This is what my caregivers say about me: Samurai is a stray cat who arrived quite disturbed with us. After initial skittishness, he quickly realized he had nothing to fear. With a little training in the form of hand-feeding, he quickly turned into a gentle affectionate cat. Samurai observes new people from a distance at first, but if you remain calm, he quickly gains trust and comes for cuddles. He gets along well with other animals and can easily be introduced as a second cat. He appears more balanced and calm with us; he is looking for a home where there isn't too much commotion. Samurai can be kept as an outdoor cat later or as an apartment cat with appropriate mental stimulation. Due to his initial hesitation in a new environment, one should expect him to withdraw at first. However, with treats and patience, he can be convinced quickly that this will be his last move... The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal may develop differently in its new home.

EKH Samurai konnte als Zweitmiez zu MorleMüller ( ehemalige Samtpfote von uns) im September 2015 nach Grimma vermittelt werden. Mein Name ist Samurai. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und circa 2011 geboren. Ich warte seit Juli 2015 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Samurai ist ein Fundkater,der ziemlich verstört bei uns ankam. Nach anfänglicher Kratzbürstigkeit begriff er recht schnell, das er nun nichts mehr zu befürchten hatte.Dazu ein wenig Übung in Form von Handfütterung und schwups, verwandelte er sich in einen sanften Schmusekater. Neue Menschen betrachtet Samurai kurz mit etwas Abstand, bleibt man dabei entspannt, fasst er schnell Vertrauen und kommt zum Schmusen.Mit seinen Artgenossen verträgt er sich, gern kann Samurai als Zweittier Einzug halten. Auf uns wirkt er eher ausgeglichen und ruhig, er sucht ein Zuhause, wo nicht zu viel Trubel herrscht. Samurai kann als späterer Freigänger oder mit entsprechender Beschäftigung als Wohnungskatze gehalten werden.Wegen seiner anfänglichen Skepsis in neuem Umfeld sollte man damit rechnen, das er sich zu Beginn zurückziehen wird. Mit Leckerchen und Geduld lässt er sich aber sicher schnell überzeugen, das dies sein letzter Umzug wird… Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Samurai

What life with Samurai looks like

Samurai is a medium-sized 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.
