Adopt Anika & Minusch

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Unfortunately, the living conditions of their humans have changed, so the two pretty sisters Anika and Minusch had to come to us at the animal shelter. For the two, this situation is very stressful, and they show in different ways how overwhelmed they are by the hustle and bustle. Anika is the slightly more approachable of the two. With a bit of patience, she lets the caretakers stroke her occasionally and shows that she generally has an interest in human proximity. Minusch, on the other hand, is currently still very unsettled. She mostly retreats to her hiding place and only comes out for feeding times. Physical contact is still a complete no-go for her at the moment. However, we are convinced that the two will find a suitable home where they can settle down and rediscover their true personalities. With time, patience, and a stable environment, they will learn to trust and gain security. For Anika and Minusch, we are looking for a shared home without children, in a quiet environment with a yard. Their future humans should have experience in dealing with cats and above all have the patience to give the two the time they need. Do you think you are the right person for Anika & Minusch or would you like to get to know them better?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Leider haben sich die Lebensumstände ihrer Menschen verändert, sodass die beiden hübschen Schwestern Anika und Minusch zu uns ins Tierheim kommen mussten. Für die beiden ist diese Situation sehr belastend, und sie zeigen auf unterschiedliche Weise, wie sehr sie der Trubel überfordert. Anika ist die etwas zugänglichere der beiden. Mit etwas Geduld lässt sie sich von den Pflegern hin und wieder streicheln und zeigt, dass sie grundsätzlich Interesse an menschlicher Nähe hat. Minusch hingegen ist aktuell noch sehr verunsichert. Sie zieht sich die meiste Zeit zurück und kommt meist nur zu den Fütterungszeiten aus ihrem Versteck. Körperkontakt ist für sie im Moment noch ein absolutes No-Go. Wir sind jedoch überzeugt, dass die beiden in einem passenden Zuhause zur Ruhe kommen und sich ihre wahren Persönlichkeiten wieder entfalten können. Mit Zeit, Geduld und einem stabilen Umfeld werden sie lernen, Vertrauen zu fassen und Sicherheit zu gewinnen. Für Anika und Minusch suchen wir ein gemeinsames Zuhause ohne Kinder, in einer ruhigen Umgebung mit Freigang. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten Erfahrung im Umgang mit Katzen mitbringen und vor allem die Geduld haben, den beiden die Zeit die sie benötigen zu geben.. Sie meinen, Sie sind der richtige Mensch für Anika & Minusch oder möchten sie näher kennenlernen? Dann nehmen Sie mit dem

About Anika & Minusch

What life with Anika & Minusch looks like

Anika & Minusch is a small adult mixed breed 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.

Note from the shelter: Bonded pair - must be adopted together. Very stressed and fearful, need quiet environment with outdoor access.

🇦🇹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 Anika & Minusch, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Anika & Minusch?
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 Anika & Minusch on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Anika & Minusch 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 Anika & Minusch 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 Anika & Minusch 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 Anika & Minusch 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.
