Albert

European Shorthair · Male

Albert is a 7-year-old tomcat with a strong personality and a clear idea of how his future life should look. As a confident outdoor cat, he wants to establish his territory and therefore seeks a home where he can live as a single cat. Other cats are not needed in his immediate environment – outside, he will likely defend his territory with the same determination with which he goes through life. His people, on the other hand, can look forward to a very loving, cuddly Albert who enjoys the attention of his trusted people. We are looking for a quiet home with a free run where Albert can explore his surroundings and live out his independent character. At the same time, he should have the opportunity to be spoiled at home and enjoy the closeness of his people. Due to a sensitive stomach, Albert requires a grain-free Gastro diet. This, however, is not a great effort, as such food can be easily obtained from pet stores and he manages well with it. Albert is looking for people who appreciate his confident nature and give him the opportunity to be a single prince in his own kingdom. Do you think you are the right person for Albert or would you like to get to know her better?

Albert ist ein 7-jähriger Kater mit einer starken Persönlichkeit und einer klaren Vorstellung davon, wie sein zukünftiges Leben aussehen soll. Als selbstbewusster Freigänger möchte er sein Revier für sich haben und sucht daher ein Zuhause, in dem er als Einzelkater leben darf. Andere Katzen braucht Albert nicht in seinem direkten Umfeld – draußen wird er sein Revier vermutlich mit derselben Entschlossenheit verteidigen, mit der er durchs Leben geht. Seine Menschen hingegen dürfen sich auf einen ganz anderen Albert freuen: Er ist sehr lieb, verschmust und genießt die Aufmerksamkeit seiner Bezugspersonen. Für Albert suchen wir ein Zuhause in ruhiger Lage mit Freigang, wo er seine Umgebung erkunden und seinen unabhängigen Charakter ausleben kann. Gleichzeitig soll er die Möglichkeit haben, sich zuhause verwöhnen zu lassen und die Nähe seiner Menschen zu genießen. Aufgrund eines empfindlichen Magens benötigt Albert getreidefreies Gastro-Futter. Dies stellt jedoch keinen großen Aufwand dar, da entsprechendes Futter problemlos in Tierfachgeschäften erhältlich ist und er damit gut zurechtkommt. Albert sucht Menschen, die seine selbstbewusste Art schätzen und ihm die Möglichkeit geben, Einzelprinz in seinem eigenen Reich zu sein.

About Albert

What life with Albert looks like

Albert is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein für Tirol in Innsbruck.

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 Albert, answered.

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