Anika & Minusch

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Two beautiful sister cats, Anika and Minusch, came to the shelter due to changed circumstances. This situation is very stressful for both. Anika is more approachable and occasionally allows petting with patience, showing interest in human contact. Minusch is currently very insecure, hiding most of the time except during feeding. Physical contact is currently impossible with her. They need a quiet home without children, with outdoor access, and experienced cat owners who can provide the time and patience they need to rebuild trust and security.

Anika und Minusch mussten aufgrund veränderter Lebensumstände ihrer Menschen zu uns ins Tierheim kommen. Anfangs waren die beiden mit der neuen Situation noch sehr überfordert – mittlerweile haben sie sich aber toll entwickelt und zeigen immer mehr ihre liebenswerte Seite. Inzwischen sind die beiden deutlich offener und begrüßen sogar fremde Menschen, die ihr Zimmer betreten. Sie zeigen, dass sie Vertrauen fassen können und genießen die Aufmerksamkeit, die ihnen entgegengebracht wird. Trotzdem sind sie eher sensible Katzen, die ein ruhiges und stabiles Umfeld brauchen, um sich wirklich wohlzufühlen. Für Anika und Minusch suchen wir deshalb gemeinsam ein Zuhause mit Freigang in ruhiger Lage. Ein Zuhause ohne viel Trubel und Hektik wäre ideal, damit die beiden entspannt ankommen und ihren Alltag genießen können. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten ihnen weiterhin mit Geduld und Verständnis begegnen und ihnen die Möglichkeit geben, sich auch einmal zurückzuziehen. Anika und Minusch haben sich bei uns wunderbar entwickelt – jetzt fehlt ihnen nur noch der richtige Platz, an dem sie für immer bleiben dürfen. 🐾❤️ Sie meinen, Sie sind der richtige Mensch für Anika & Minusch oder möchten sie näher kennenlernen?

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.
