How do I contact the shelter about Stupsi?

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

Can I adopt Stupsi 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 Stupsi 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 Stupsi 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 Stupsi 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.

Stupsi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Also Stupsi has finally made it after a long wait and found a understanding home in the Leipzig area in April 2018… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………. My name is Stupsi. I am female, spayed and born in 2014. I have been waiting for a new home since January 2016. This is what my caregivers say about me: Stupsi is an adoption from a semi-wild cat population, where cat experts are looking for adoption. She needed a long time to get used to being here. Right now she immediately runs away when people enter the adoption room. We are now waiting for the moment when she comes for feeding and can tolerate our immediate presence. The interested party must then also take into account an appropriate acclimatization period in the new home. Stupsi definitely does not want to be pressured, we recommend hand-feeding and practicing how pleasant cuddling with a human hand can be. It is simply a matter of trust and patience that you must bring with you when adopting. She gets along very well with other animals, Stupsi can easily go out as a second cat. Who wants to give Stupsi the chance to gain trust in her own home, which she will then certainly only give to her new owner…… The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal may develop differently in the new home.

Auch Stupsi hat es nach langer Wartezeit endlich geschafft und im April 2018 ein verständnisvolles Zuhause im Raum Leipzig gefunden… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Mein Name ist Stupsi. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2014 geboren. Ich warte seit Januar 2016 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Stupsi ist eine Übernahme von Katzen eines halbwilden Bestandes, wo Katzenkenner für die Adoption gesucht werden. Sie benötigte lange Zeit, sich bei uns zurecht zu finden. Im Moment sie sofort weg, wenn Menschen im Vermittlungszimmer erschienen sind. Wir warten nun auf den Moment, wo sie zu den Fütterungen kommt und unsere unmittelbare Nähe gut aushalten kann. Eine entsprechende Eingewöhnungszeit muss der Interessent dann auch im neuen Zuhause einkalkulieren. Stupsi möchte keinesfalls bedrängt werden, wir empfehlen hier Handfütterung und dabei üben, wie angenehm Kuscheln mit der Menschenhand sein kann. Es ist schlicht eine Frage des Vertrauens und der Geduld, die man bei Adoption mitbringen muss. Mit Artgenossen versteht sie sich hervorragend, gern kann Stupsi als Zweitkatze ausziehen. Wer möchte Stupsi die Chance geben, endlich im eigenen Zuhause ihr Vertrauen zu gewinnen, was sie dann garantiert nur ihrem neuen Besitzer schenken 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 Stupsi

What life with Stupsi looks like

Stupsi is a medium-sized 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.
