Adele

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Hello hello! My name is Adele! I am unfortunately a very shy cat who hasn't quite figured out that people don't want to harm me. I desperately need people who will take the time to show me that these two-legged beings aren't so dumb! I get along very well with other cats and would be thrilled to move in with a cat-friendly home! Maybe I can learn a thing or two from them ;-) Another special thing about me is that I carry the FIP virus. What is FIP? FIP is an illness that develops in cats from a mutated coronavirus. Many cats carry the coronavirus without ever getting sick. Only a small part of the cats have the virus mutate in such a way that it can lead to FIP. Thanks to modern treatment options, affected cats often have good chances and can lead a happy, normal life. The important thing is that they live together with other FIP-positive cats. If you've fallen in love with me, please contact my foster parents. They know everything else about me! I hope to meet you soon at the animal shelter so I can show you how beautiful I am :-))

Halli Hallo! Mein Name ist Adele! Ich bin leider eine sehr schüchterne Katze, die es noch nicht verstanden hat, dass Menschen mir nichts böses antun wollen. Ich brauche unbedingt Menschen, die sich die Zeit nehmen wollen um mir zu zeigen, dass diese Zweibeiner doch nicht so doof sind! Mit anderen Katzen verstehe ich mich sehr gut und würde mich freuen wenn ich zu einer Katzenfreundin oder Katzenfreund ziehen kann! Vielleicht kann ich mir so einiges von ihnen abschauen ;-) Was bei mir noch eine Besonderheit ist, dass ich das FIP-Virus in mir trage. Was ist FIP? FIP ist eine Erkrankung, die durch ein mutiertes Coronavirus bei Katzen entsteht. Viele Katzen tragen das Coronavirus in sich, ohne jemals krank zu werden. Nur bei einem kleinen Teil der Katzen verändert sich der Virus so, dass er zu FIP führen kann. Dank moderner Behandlungsmöglichkeiten haben betroffene Katzen häufig gute Chancen und können ein schönes, normales Leben führen. Wichtig ist lediglich, dass sie mit anderen FIP - positiven Katzen zusammenleben. Wenn du dich trotzdem in mich verliebt hast, so bitte ich dich Kontakt mit meinen Pflegern aufzunehmen. Sie wissen alles weitere über mich! Ich hoffe dich bald hier im Tierheim anzutreffen, damit ich dir zeigen kann wie schön ich bin :-)

About Adele

What life with Adele looks like

Adele is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg in Wolfsberg.

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 Adele, answered.

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