Apollo

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hallo, ich bin Apollo!Ich wurde gefunden und bin nun auf der Suche nach einem Zuhause, in dem ich endlich ankommen und die Aufmerksamkeit meiner Menschen ganz für mich genießen darf.Ich bin ein sehr freundlicher, aktiver und menschenbezogener Kater. Ich liebe es, wenn sich jemand mit mir beschäftigt, und freue mich über Streicheleinheiten genauso wie über gemeinsame Spielrunden. Einfach nur gemütlich herumliegen ist mir auf Dauer zu langweilig, ich möchte etwas erleben und in den Alltag meiner Menschen eingebunden sein. Mit Kätzinnen verstehe ich mich gut.Gesundheitlich zeige ich mich derzeit unauffällig.Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir liebe Menschen, die viel Zeit für mich haben und gerne mit mir spielen, schmusen und mich beschäftigen. Gerne darf schon eine weibliche Katze bei dir zuhause wohnen, ich kann aber auch als Einzelkatze vermittelt werden. Kinder dürfen gerne zur Familie gehören.Wenn du einen verschmusten und aktiven Begleiter suchst, der gerne mitten im Geschehen ist und viel gemeinsame Zeit mit dir verbringen möchte, dann melde dich gerne im Tierheim. Ich freue mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen!Dein Apollo

About Apollo

What life with Apollo looks like

Apollo is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein St. Pölten in St. Pölten.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Apollo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Apollo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein St. Pölten handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Apollo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Apollo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein St. Pölten 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Apollo 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 Apollo 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 St. Pölten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apollo 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.
