CALIGULA

Male · Young · 3 years

Skeptical tomcat needs a great outdoor space with provisions. Poor CALIGULA hasn't had any good experiences so far. He is very frightened and doesn't trust humans at all. Most of the time, he hides in his cave and just wants to be left alone. He is truly afraid of people and hisses when approached. For him, a farm or riding stable would be the best fit, where he can enjoy his outdoor space and still have regular provisions secured. One shouldn't expect him to become cuddly, but with lots of time and patience, he might learn that people won't harm him.

Misstrauischer Kater braucht tollen Freigangsplatz mit Versorgung. Der arme Caligula dürfte bis jetzt keine guten Erfahrung gemacht haben. Er ist sehr verschreckt und traut Menschen überhaupt nicht über den Weg. Meistens versteckt er sich in seiner Höhle und will einfach seine Ruhe. Er hat wirklich große Angst vor Menschen und faucht wenn man sich ihm nähert. Für ihn wäre ein toller Bauern- oder Reiterhof am besten geeignet, wo er seinen Freigang genießen kann und trotzdem die regelmäßige Versorgung sicher gestellt ist. Man sollte nicht erwarten das er zu einem Schmuser wird, es ist aber möglich das er mit viel Zeit und Geduld lernen kann, dass man ihm nichts tun will.

About CALIGULA

What life with CALIGULA looks like

CALIGULA is a large young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Krems in Krems an der Donau.

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 CALIGULA, answered.

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