How do I contact the shelter about Banjo?

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 Banjo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Banjo 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 Banjo 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 Banjo 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 Banjo 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.

Banjo

European Shorthair · Male

Banjo has unfortunately not always had an easy life. Therefore, he needs some time to trust new people and feel safe in a new environment. It is particularly important with Banjo to understand his body language and respect his boundaries. Who gives him this security and shows him the necessary patience will quickly notice what a wonderful cat is hiding inside him. Once he has gained confidence, Banjo shows much affection and enjoys being close to his people. Apart from that, Banjo is an uncomplicated and open-minded fellow who takes an interest in everyday life and likes to observe his surroundings. He especially loves lying on the balcony and watching the world around him. Therefore, we are looking for a home with apartment living with a large, secure balcony or alternatively a secured garden so that he can continue to enjoy his beloved sun hours. Children in the household are generally possible - as always, it depends on sympathy and respectful interaction. Banjo is looking for people who give him the chance to arrive at his own pace. Do you think you're the right person for Banjo or would like to get to know him better? Then contact

About Banjo

What life with Banjo looks like

Banjo is a adult european shorthair 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.

🇦🇹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.
