How do I contact the shelter about Diego?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hallein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Diego on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Diego if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hallein 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 Diego 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 Diego 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 Hallein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Diego 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.

Diego

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 5 years

My tiger cats are becoming increasingly rare - all my four-legged acquaintances are colorful, spotted, marbled or striped - so I'm already quite special. And yet, my owner hasn't been found for me, me, the approximately 1.5-year-old tomcat from Golling! Luckily, there are still bipeds who notice when a cat like me wanders around the house for a long time and feeds from the trash cans. These bipeds are the ones who gave me up at the Hallein animal shelter, where the doctor examined me, vaccinated me and chipped me. "Everything is in order," he said, and therefore I am now allowed to be adopted - subject to the statutory retention period of 4 weeks. I've already been sitting for a week and it's unlikely anyone will be interested in me, especially since I wasn't neutered. So I can move to my new family around October 1st. But you can already be interested in me, visit me on Fridays in the afternoon and ask for Isabella.

Die Tigerkatzen kommen immer weniger vor - alle meine Bekannten auf vier Pfoten sind bunt, gefleckt, marmoriert oder gestreift - somit bin ich schon wieder ganz was Besonderes. Und trotzdem hat sich für mich mein Besitzer nicht mehr gefunden, mich, den ca. 1,5 Jahre alten Kater aus Golling! Zum Glück gibt es noch Zweibeiner, denen es auffällt, wenn so eine Katze wie ich für längere Zeit ums Haus streift und sich aus dem Mülleimern versorgt. Genau diese Zweibeiner haben mich im Tierheim Hallein abgegeben, wo mich der Herr Doktor untersucht, geimpft und gechippt hat. "Alles in bester Ordnung "war seine Aussage und daher darf ich jetzt - unter Einhaltung der gesetzlichen Behaltefrist von 4 Wochen, vermittelt werden. Eine Woche habe ich schon abgesessen und es wird sich wohl keiner mehr für mich interessieren, zumal ich auch nicht kastriert war. Daher kann ich gut um den 1.Oktober zu meiner neuen Familie umziehen. Aber ihr könnt euch schon jetzt für mich interessieren, mich Freitags mal besuchen kommen, am Nachmittag und nach Isabella fragen.

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Hallein in Hallein.

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.
