Adopt Abigail

Female · Adult · 8 years

Abby is from Ukraine and has been living with a foster family for the past 6 months. She loves her people, is totally cuddly, a real chatterbox, and loves physical contact. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get along at all with the two male cats in the house, which is why she’s looking for a new home. Abby needs a single-cat household without children, with outdoor access, and a patient, experienced, and loving person. She is about 8 years old and has mild physical limitations. Her tail had to be removed due to a cancerous growth, which is why she can be a bit scratchy at vet visits. All of this doesn’t stop her from enjoying life and loving her favorite humans.

Abby stammt aus der Ukraine, seit 6 Monaten lebt sie bei einer Pflegefamilie. Sie liebt ihre Menschen, ist total verschmust, eine echte Plaudertasche und liebt Körperkontakt. Leider kommt sie mit den beiden Katern im Haus überhaupt nicht klar, weshalb sie ein neues zuhause sucht. Abby braucht einen Einzelplatz ohne Kinder, mit Freigang und einen geduldigen, erfahrenen und liebevollen Menschen. Sie ist ca. 8 Jahre alt, hat leichte körperliche Einschränkungen. Ihr Schwanz musste wegen einem Krebsgeschwür entfernt werden, weshalb sie bei Tierarztbesuchen schon mal kratzbürstig sein kann. Das alles hindert sie nicht daran, Freude am Leben und ihren Lieblingsmenschen zu haben.

About Abigail

What life with Abigail looks like

Abigail is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Linz in Linz.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Abigail, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Abigail?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Linz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Abigail on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Abigail if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Linz 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 Abigail 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 Abigail 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 Linz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Abigail 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.
