Frankie

Female · Kitten · 9 months

Frankie originally came from a stray cat and initially showed great shyness and reserve towards humans. With much patience, dedication, and love, their owners have shown her that humans can also mean trust and security. Today, Frankie has developed into a real snuggle cat who greatly enjoys the closeness of her humans. Unfortunately, the cat already living in the household does not get along well with Frankie and now actively avoids the home. Therefore, Frankie is now searching for a new home where she is welcome and can continue to show how much love is within her.

DE·Show original

Frankie stammt ursprünglich von einer Streunerkatze ab und zeigte sich anfangs sehr scheu und zurückhaltend gegenüber Menschen. Mit viel Geduld, Hingabe und Liebe haben ihre Halter ihr jedoch gezeigt, dass Menschen auch Vertrauen und Sicherheit bedeuten können. Heute hat sich Frankie zu einer richtigen Kuschelkatze entwickelt, die die Nähe ihrer Menschen sehr genießt. Leider kommt die bereits zuvor im Haushalt lebende Katze mit Frankie nicht gut zurecht und meidet mittlerweile sogar das Zuhause. Schweren Herzens sucht Frankie daher nun ein neues Zuhause, in dem sie willkommen ist und weiterhin zeigen darf, wie viel Liebe in ihr steckt.

About Frankie

What life with Frankie looks like

Frankie is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Linz in Linz.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇦🇹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 Frankie, answered.

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