Adopt Schnute

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Schnute konnte am 05.05.2015 nach Geithain vermittelt werden. Alles Gute, kleiner Mann! ———————————————————————————————————— Mein Name ist Schnute. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und 2014 geboren. Ich warte seit Dezember 2014 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Schnute kam aus einem halb wilden Bestand im Muldental, gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern und seiner Mutter zu uns. Diese konnten schon teilweise vermittelt werden oder warten bei uns noch auf ihre Chance. Auch wenn Schnute anfänglich schüchtern war, fasste er schnell Vertrauen, ist inzwischen verschmust und geniesst Streicheleinheiten.In ruhigen Situationen kommt er auch auf die Menschen zu. Er ist bescheiden und genügsam, dankbar für jede Aufmerkamkeit. Gern würden wir Schnute als Zweitkatze vermitteln, mit Artgenossen kommt er bestens aus. Reine Wohnungshaltung ist wegen seines zurückhaltenden Wesens aus unserer Sicht kein Problem, aber auch Freigang nach entsprechender Eingewöhnung würde er genießen können. Auch eine Familie mit Kindern wär für ihn kein Problem, wenn Verständnis und Geduld für die nötige Aufwärmphase gegeben ist. Wer möchte Schnute ein behütetes Leben bieten und dem sanften Kater ein sicheres Leben ermöglichen? Schnute freut sich schon auf das Kennenlernen…. eMail:

About Schnute

What life with Schnute looks like

Schnute 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 Schnute, answered.

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