Balou + Mogl

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 4 years

"Brother Pair for Advanced Homes" Name: Balou and Mogli Sex: both male, both neutered Animal ID: 267407 or 267408 Date of Birth: both May 2022 Home sought: home with secure outdoor access Balou (black) and Mogli (black/white) are initially very anxious cats. They react to strangers and a new environment with insecurity. However, after an adjustment phase, they become lively, playful, and friendly. Both are very food-motivated and can be easily encouraged with treats and play. Balou has ataxia, a neurological disorder that leads to coordination and movement issues. He has a very wobbly gait that can worsen in stressful situations. However, this does not stop Balou from doing all the things that make him happy. He climbs, jumps, plays, and runs like his brother Mogli. Balou was also initially the braver of the two. Mogli is more sensitive and tends to mark on blankets or carpets, especially during the adjustment phase. For the two, we are looking for a quiet home without other pets with cat-experienced people. It is important to have a secure outdoor access, such as a secured terrace or a secured garden, where they can move around safely.

„Brüderpaar für Fortgeschrittene“ Name: Balou und Mogli Geschlecht: beide männlich, beide kastriert Tiernr.: 267407 bzw. 267408 Geburtsdatum: beide Mai 2022 Zuhause gesucht: Zuhause mit ausbruchssicherer Freigangsmöglichkeit Balou (schwarz) und Mogli (schwarz/weiß) sind anfangs sehr panische Katzen. Sie reagieren auf fremde Menschen und eine neue Umgebung mit Unsicherheit. Nach einer Eingewöhnungsphase zeigen sie sich jedoch aufgeweckt, verspielt und zutraulich. Beide sind sehr verfressen und lassen sich gut über Leckerlis und Spiel motivieren. Balou hat Ataxie, eine neurologische Störung, die zu Koordinations- und Bewegungsstörungen führt. Er hat einen sehr wackeligen Gang, der sich z.B. in stressigen Situationen auch verstärken kann. Das hält Balou aber nicht davon ab, all die Dinge zu tun, die ihm Spaß machen. Er klettert, springt, spielt und rennt wie sein Bruder Mogli. Balou war auch anfangs der Mutigere von beiden. Mogli ist sensibler und kann in stressigen Situationen dazu neigen, auf Decken oder Teppiche zu markieren, besonders während der Eingewöhnungsphase. Für die beiden suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne andere Tiere bei katzenerfahrenen Menschen. Wichtig ist eine ausbruchssichere Freigangsmöglichkeit, wie eine gesicherte Terrasse oder ein gesicherter Garten, in dem sie sich sicher bewegen können.

About Balou + Mogl

What life with Balou + Mogl looks like

Balou + Mogl is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Wiener Tierschutzverein in Vienna.

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 Balou + Mogl, answered.

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