Balu

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Hello dear cat moms and dads! Yes, then I'll introduce myself - I'm Balu and a really lively little fellow who is desperate for someone to play and have adventures with :) I'm super social and open to new things - my foster mom says so - and I would be very happy if my forever home also offers the possibility of a traffic-calmed, preferably secured outdoor area. That would be super great! I absolutely want to take my buddy, Johnny, with me. I would be very happy! Your Balu If you would like to give a cat a new home, please send us an email and tell us a bit about yourself and your living situation.

Mitnehmen möchte ich unbedingt meinen Kumpel, den Johnny. Ich würde mich sehr freuen! Euer Balu Wenn ihr einer Katze ein neues Zuhause schenken möchtet, schickt uns doch bitte eine Mail und erzählt uns gleich ein wenig über euch und eure Wohnsituation. Eine

About Balu

What life with Balu looks like

Balu is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SOS Katze Graz in Graz.

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 Balu, answered.

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