How do I contact the shelter about Sarah?

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

Can I adopt Sarah 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 Sarah 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 Sarah 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 Sarah 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.

Sarah

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Sarah was successfully rehomed in November 2015! British Shorthair Mix I am female, spayed and born around 2006. I have been waiting for a new home since August 2015. This is what my caretakers say about me: Sarah is an arrival from one of our contracted municipalities. Her owner passed away and the heirs were on vacation, so they brought her to us. Unfortunately, the heirs have not shown any interest in the whereabouts of the companion of the deceased older lady to date. We have now provided her with the usual medical care and are looking for a home where she will be cared for, as this is surely what the previous owner would have wished. She is a loving and completely uncomplicated cat lady, content with little and modest, and clingy. She is calm and balanced, absolutely cuddly and gets along well with her fellow animals. Who will give Sarah the retirement she deserves and enjoy cozy hours at home with her? The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal can develop differently in its new home.

Sarah konnte im November 2015 erfolgreich vermittelt werden! Britisch Kurzhaar Mix Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2006 geboren. Ich warte seit dem August 2015 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Sarah ist ein Eingang aus eine unserer Vertragsgemeinden.Ihre Besitzerin verstarb und die Erben waren im Urlaub, so brachte Sie das zuständige Ordnungsamt zu uns. Leider interessierten sich die Erben bis Heute nicht über den Verbleib der Gefährtin der verstorbenen älteren Dame. Wir haben ihr nun die übliche medizinische Betreuung angedeihen lassen und suchen ein Zuhause, wo sie umsorgt wird, denn das hätte sich die Vorbesitzerin sicher gewünscht. Sie ist eine liebenswert und völlig unkomplizierte Katzenlady, genügsam, bescheiden und anhänglich.Sie ist ruhig und ausgeglichen, absolut verschmust und kommt gut mit ihren Artgenossen zurecht. Wer schenkt Sarah den Lebensabend, den sie verdient und genießt mit ihr kuschelige Stunden im wohligen Zuhause? Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Sarah

What life with Sarah looks like

Sarah 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.
