Boris

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Hallo, ich bin Boris!Ich wurde als Fundkatze ins Tierheim gebracht und da mich leider niemand vermisst hat, bin ich nun auf der Suche nach einem liebevollen Zuhause.Ich bin ein ausgesprochen lieber, freundlicher und entspannter Kater, der Menschen einfach toll findet. Neue Gesichter werden von mir gar nicht lange gemustert, ich komme lieber gleich zum Kuscheln und freue mich über jede Streicheleinheit. Auch mit Kindern komme ich gut zurecht. Mit anderen Katzen bin ich sehr freundlich und genieße ihre Gesellschaft. Gesundheitlich wurde bei mir FLUTD festgestellt, das ist eine Erkrankung der Blase und ich benötige spezielles Futter. Ansonsten zeige ich mich gesundheitlich unauffällig.Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir eine liebevolle Familie, bei der ich nicht als Einzelkatze leben muss. Eine bereits vorhandene Samtpfote wäre ideal, alternativ könnte auch einer meiner Katzenfreunde aus dem Tierheim gemeinsam mit mir ausziehen. Gerne können auch Kinder im gleichen Haushalt leben.Wenn du mich gerne persönlich kennenlernen möchtest, dann melde dich im Tierheim.Dein Boris

About Boris

What life with Boris looks like

Boris is a young 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; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Boris, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Boris?
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 Boris on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Boris 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Boris 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 Boris 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 Boris 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.
