Spitzmaus

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

It's me... I've gotten used to my can openers well. At first I was very shy and sat behind the bed, but now it's starting... My favorite spot is on the chair under the table, where I can watch what they are up to... I'll be in touch again and many greetings to the animal shelter team and Ricarda ——————————————————- Spitzmaus was rehomed on 23.04.2016 thanks to tierisch, Tierisch to Zschopau... we are happy for her...………………………………………………………………………………………….. My name is Spitzmaus. I am female, spayed and born in 2014. I have been waiting for a new home since the end of 2014. This is what my caregivers say about me: Spitzmaus came to us together with her siblings, found in the area of Leipzig. The other puppies have found a home, but our Spitzmaus has not yet. She was initially a rather quiet cat, which needed time to gain trust. After the unsuccessful waiting for an owner as a puppy, she was spayed and then moved into the cat adoption room after staying in the Rambo room. She was no longer quiet at all, always near the visitors and staff, but always moving around in the room. Sometimes she even received a slap from the adult cats, but this bothered Spitzmaus less, as there are also companions who play with her. She is an agile young cat, who now also enjoys cuddling and stays almost still while doing so. She got her name because of a small, barely noticeable overbite. She would like to be a second cat and finally explore her own territory. She is looking for a understanding household, preferably with other animals, but it is not absolutely necessary. Similarly, it is not essential if she has access to the outside, as she would enjoy it if possible, but she would also feel comfortable in an apartment. Children can be present, as long as they show the necessary restraint at first and some patience until the first game with Spitzmaus. Who will give the agile, kind, and initially reserved cat a chance and give her her own home? eMail:. This cat needs outdoor access. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Ich bin´s… Habe mich bei meinen Dosenöffnern gut eingelebt.. Am Anfang war ich sehr scheu u. saß hinterm Bett, aber jetzt geht´s los… Mein Lieblingsplatz ist auf dem Stuhl unterm Tisch, da kann ich sie beobachten was se so treiben… Ich melde mich wieder u. viele Grüße an das Tierheimteam u. Ricarda ——————————————————- Spitzmaus konnte am 23.04.2016 dank tierisch, Tierisch vermittelt werden, nach Zschopau….wir freuen uns für sie ………………………………………………………………………………………….. Mein Name ist Spitzmaus. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2014 geboren. Ich warte seit Ende 2014 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Spitzmaus kam gemeinsam mit Ihren Geschwistern bei uns an, gefunden im Raum Leipzig Die anderen Welpen haben ein Zuhause gefunden, unsere Spitzmaus leider noch nicht.Sie war am Anfang an eine eher ruhige Katze, welche Zeit benötigte, um Vertrauen zu fassen.Nach dem vergeblichen warten auf einen Neubesitzer als Welpe ist sie zwischenzeitlich kastriert und hat nach dem Aufenthalt im Rambozimmer nun Einzug in das katzenvermittlungszimmer gehalten. Ruhig war sie dann ganz und gar nicht mehr, immer in der Nähe der Besucher und der Mitarbeiter, aber stets unterwegs im Zimmer.Das sie dann auch ab und an von den erwachsenen miezen eine Watschen bekam, störte die Spitzmaus weniger, es gibt ja auch Kumpels, die mit ihr toben. Sie ist eine agile, junge Katze, geniesst nun auch das Schmusen und hält dabei fast still.Den Namen erhielt sie wegen eines kleinen, fast nicht erkennbaren Überbisses. Gern würde sie als Zweitmiez Einzug halten und endlich ihr eigenes Reich erkunden Sie sucht einen verständnisvollen Haushalt, gern bei Artgenossen, zwingend nötig ist es aber nicht.Ebenso verhält es sich mit Freigang, wenn er möglich ist, würde sie das genießen, sich aber auch in reiner Wohnungshaltung wohl fühlen.Kinder können vorhanden sein, wenn sie die nötige Zurückhaltung zu Beginn zeigen und etas geduld bis zum ersten Spiel mit der Spitzmaus zeigen. Wer gibt der agilen,lieben und anfänglich zurückhaltenden Miez eine Chance und schenkt ihr ihr eigenes Zuhause? eMail:

About Spitzmaus

What life with Spitzmaus looks like

Spitzmaus is a small 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 Spitzmaus, answered.

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