CARMELLO

Male · Young · 1 year

Timid Bub urgently needs a loving home. Poor CARMELLO must have already experienced a lot in his life. He came from a place with many strays and was bullied by other cats there. As a result, he has a bit of fear of other cats. He is also very shy around people, though he may be attacked, it's clear he doesn't enjoy it because of his fear. However, he is never aggressive, just very reserved and mistrustful. It could be that with time and lots of trust, he will warm up and become more open, but this requires patience. He would be suitable for an individual spot or could be rehomed with social cats who are kind to him and show him that he doesn't need to be afraid.

Ängstlicher Bub braucht dringend ein liebevolles Zuhause. Der arme Carmello musste in seinem Leben wohl schon einiges mitmachen. Er kommt von einer Stelle mit vielen Streunern, und wurde dort von den anderen Katzen gemobbt. Er hat deswegen etwas Angst vor anderen Katzen. Menschen gegenüber ist er ebenfalls sehr schüchtern. Er lässt sich zwar angreifen, man sieht ihm aber an das er es nicht sehr genießen kann, da er solche Angst hat. Er ist allerdings niemals aggressiv, sondern einfach nur sehr zurückhaltend und misstrauisch. Es könnte sein das er mit der Zeit und viel Vertrauen auftaut und dann offener wird, was jedoch Geduld erfordert. Für ihn wäre auch für Einzelplatz geeignet oder er könnte zu sozialen anderen Katzen vermittelt werden, die lieb zu ihm sind, und ihm zeigen das er sich nicht fürchten braucht.

About CARMELLO

What life with CARMELLO looks like

CARMELLO is a 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 CARMELLO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about CARMELLO?
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 CARMELLO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt CARMELLO 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 CARMELLO 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 CARMELLO 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 CARMELLO 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.
