How do I contact the shelter about Susi?

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

Can I adopt Susi 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 Susi 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 Susi 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 Susi 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.

Susi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

EKH Susi was rehomed to a new home in Colditz on 05.02.2016...we are very happy for the somewhat shy mouse! I am female, spayed and born around 2014. I have been waiting for a new home since June 2014. This is what my caretakers say about me: Susi is a surrendered pet and originally suitable for apartment living. Her previous owner had to surrender Susi due to illness and visits her at our facility occasionally. Susi is a sweet girl, initially a bit reserved, but then cuddly and affectionate. For her age, she is well-balanced and gets along wonderfully with her fellow animals. Susi is suitable as a first cat, if you give her some time at the beginning. She is absolutely cuddly, not a daredevil and not a whirlwind. We would like to place her as a second cat. Susi can be rehomed as suitable for apartment living or also as a later outdoor cat. There should not be too much commotion in the new home; if there are children, they should show understanding for her initial shyness. Anyone who wants to get to know the lovely Susi is welcome to visit her and give her the chance to move out. She and her previous owner would be happy if Susi can have her own four walls again....The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal can develop differently in the new home.

EKH Susi konnte am 05.02.2016 in ein neues Zuhause nach Colditz vermittelt werden…wir freuen uns sehr für die etwas verhuschte Maus! Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2014 geboren. Ich warte seit Juni 2014 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Susi ist ein Abgabetier und stammt ursprünglich aus reiner Wohnungshaltung.Ihr Vorbesitzer musste Susi wegen Erkrankung abgeben und er besucht sie bei uns in Abständen. Susi ist ein liebes Mädchen, anfänglich etwas zurückhaltend, aber dann verschmust und lieb. Für Ihr Alter ist sie ausgeglichen, mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sich Susi wunderbar. Susi ist als Anfängertier geeignet, wenn ma ihr zu Beginn etwas Zeit lässt. Sie ist absolut verschmust, kein Draufgänger und kein Wirbelwind. Gern würden wir sie als Zweitkatze vermitteln. Susi kann in reine Wohnungshaltung oder aber auch als späterer Freigänger vermittelt werden. Zu viel Trubel sollte nicht im neuen Zuhause herrschen, sind Kinder vorhanden, sollten diese schon Verständnis für ihre anfängliche Zurückhaltung zeigen. Wer Lust hat, die liebe Susi kennenzulernen, darf sie gern besuchen kommen und ihr die Chance geben, endlich umzuziehen. Sie und auch ihr Vorbesitzer wären glücklich, wenn Susi wieder eigene vier Wände beziehen kann…. Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Susi

What life with Susi looks like

Susi 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.
