Endivia

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

female cat "Endivia" shows herself to be reserved and shy around people. She probably hasn't had much contact with humans and will need some time to build trust. During her adjustment to her new home, one should meet Endivia with patience and calmness, giving her the opportunity to become familiar with the new environment at her own pace. Due to her insecurity, there should be no children in the household. Endivia unfortunately suffers from chronic cat flu, which may require more frequent visits to the vet. The shy kitten wishes for a quiet home where, after a suitable period of adjustment, she will also have the opportunity for a walk.

DE·Show original

Katzendame "Endivia" verhält sich zurückhaltend und schüchtern. Sie dürfte bisher wenig Kontakt zu Menschen gehabt haben und benötigt einige Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Bei der Eingewöhnung in ihr neues Zuhause sollte man Endivia mit Geduld und Ruhe begegnen, um ihr die Möglichkeit zu geben, sich in ihrem Tempo mit der neuen Umgebung anfreunden zu können. Aufgrund ihrer Unsicherheit sollten keine Kinder im gemeinsamen Haushalt leben. Die Kätzin wurde positiv auf das Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) getestet und wird nur zu einer ebenfalls positiv getesteten Katze vergeben. Endivia hat auch mit chronischem Katzenschnupfen zu kämpfen, weshalb häufigere Tierarztbesuche notwendig werden können. Die schüchterne Kätzin wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sie nach entsprechender Eingewöhnungszeit auch die Möglichkeit zum gesicherten Freigang (z.B. gesicherten Balkon) bekommt.

About Endivia

What life with Endivia looks like

Endivia is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) in Austria.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Endivia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Endivia?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Endivia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Endivia if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Endivia 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 Endivia 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 Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Endivia 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.
