How do I contact the shelter about Albert?

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 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 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 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 Wolfsberg 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.

Albert

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Albert - a small fighter on three paws is looking for a home. Hello, I am Albert. ❤️ My life has taken a sad turn, as my owners left me. Now I am looking for people who can show me that I can trust again and where I can stay forever. I am an initially shy cat and need some time to settle into my new home. I want to get to know my new people in peace and build trust. But I am sure: With a lot of love, patience and understanding I will develop into a really cuddly cat. 🥰 Due to my amputated right front leg I am only suitable for apartment keeping. I get along well on three paws and wish for a loving, safe home where I can feel comfortable and develop at my own pace. Especially nice would be a home with a loving cat friend, because I would also be very happy about cat company. 🐱❤️ Who will give me the time I need and show me how beautiful a real forever home can be? I look forward to getting to know you! Your Albert 🐾

🐾 Albert – ein kleiner Kämpfer auf drei Pfoten sucht sein Zuhause Hallo, ich bin Albert. ❤️ Mein bisheriges Leben hat leider eine traurige Wendung genommen, denn meine Besitzer haben mich zurückgelassen. Nun bin ich auf der Suche nach Menschen, die mir zeigen, dass ich wieder vertrauen darf und bei denen ich für immer bleiben kann. Ich bin anfangs ein eher schüchterner Kater und brauche ein bisschen Zeit, um in meinem neuen Zuhause anzukommen. Ich möchte meine Menschen erst in Ruhe kennenlernen und Vertrauen aufbauen. Aber ich bin mir sicher: Mit ganz viel Liebe, Geduld und Verständnis werde ich mich zu einem richtig verschmusten Kater entwickeln. 🥰 Durch mein amputiertes rechtes Vorderbein bin ich ausschließlich für eine Wohnungshaltung geeignet. Auf drei Pfoten komme ich gut zurecht und wünsche mir ein liebevolles, sicheres Zuhause, in dem ich mich wohlfühlen und ganz in meinem eigenen Tempo entwickeln darf. Besonders schön wäre für mich ein Zuhause mit einem lieben Katzenfreund, denn auch über Katzengesellschaft würde ich mich sehr freuen. 🐱❤️ Wer schenkt mir die Zeit, die ich brauche, und zeigt mir, wie schön ein echtes Für-immer-Zuhause sein kann? Ich freue mich darauf, euch kennenzulernen! Euer Albert 🐾

About Albert

What life with Albert looks like

Albert is a small 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.
