Shakespeare &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Shakespeare is another unmarked and unneutered garden stray from Grimma West. Shortly after arrival, it became clear that he knows people and can be a big snuggler. In the intake room, he keeps a low profile and does not rush directly to visitors. He enjoys life with fellow animals and prefers to be a second cat in a home. He would be happy to move into a family with understanding kids. Since he spends a lot of time indoors, a future life as an outdoor cat is possible but not a condition. Who would like to bring Shakespeare home and lay his personal Garden of Eden at his feet?

DE·Show original

Shakespeare ist ein weiterer nicht gekennzeichneten und unkastrierter Gartenstreuner aus Grimma West. Schon kurz nach Einzug zeigte sich, das-s er Menschen kennt und ein großer Schmuser sein kann. Im Vermittlungszimmer hält er sich diskret im Hintergrund und stürmt nicht direkt auf Besucher zu. Das Leben mit Artgenossen findet er toll und sucht bevorzugt als Zweitkatze ein Zuhause. Gern kann er in eine Familie mit verständnisvollen Kids umziehen. Da er sich viel im Innenbereich aufhält, ist ein zukünftiges Leben als Freigänger möglich, aber nicht Bedingung. Wer möchte Shakespeare zu sich holen und ihm seinen persönlichen Garten Eden zu Füßen legen?

About Shakespeare &#8211

What life with Shakespeare &#8211 looks like

Shakespeare &#8211 is a large 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 Shakespeare &#8211, answered.

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