Adopt Aurin

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

Captured with a trap, they caught me, I was frightened and didn't know what was happening to me! I was immediately taken to a vet clinic, my fur was de-tangled, I was dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and now it's about me gaining weight and becoming a sturdy, long-haired and already neutered tomcat. My caregivers and Uncle Doctor estimate me to be around 8 years old - one can't know for sure, but the neighbor lady can remember that I've been prowling around the house for some time. Of course, I've developed suspicion and fear, being alone for such a long time, but there's still a spark in me that says "humans aren't bad, they just don't always understand us, but it's worth greeting them with my purring!" Yes, I need a bit more time to regain trust and I'm looking for a quiet place without children's screaming. Then, I would share all my cat love with you that's inside me.

Die Mit einer Falle hat man mich gefangen, ich war verängstigt und wusste nicht, was mit mir geschah! Ich wurde sofort in eine Tierklinik gebracht, mein Fell wurde entfilzt, ich wurde entwurmt, geimpft und gechipt und jetzt gehts daran, dass ich endlich wieder an Gewicht gewinne und aus mir ein stattlicher, langhaariger und schon kastrierter Kater wird. Meine Nannies und der Onkel Doktor schätzen mich auf ca. 8 Jahre - so genau kann man dies ja nicht wissen, aber auch die Frau Nachbarin kann sich erinnern, dass ich schon einige Zeit ums Haus streiche. Natürlich habe ich Argwohn und Angst entwickelt, so ganz alleine über so lange Zeit auf sich gestellt, aber da gibt es noch ein Fünkchen in mir, das mir sagt "die Menschen sind nicht böse, sie verstehen uns nur manchmal nicht, aber sie sind es Wert, sie mit meinem Schnurren zu begrüßen"! Ja, ich brauche ein wenig mehr Zeit um wieder Vertrauen zu fassen und ich suche einen ruhigen Platz ohne Kindergeschrei. Dann würde ich euch all meine Katzenliebe schenken, die in mir steckt.

About Aurin

What life with Aurin looks like

Aurin is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Hallein in Hallein.

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 Aurin, answered.

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