How do I contact the shelter about Franz?

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

Can I adopt Franz if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Wir für Tier Oberwart 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 Franz 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 Franz 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 Wir für Tier Oberwart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Franz 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.

Franz

Mixed Breed · Male

Name: Franz Age: 6-7 months. Gender: male, neutered Available for sponsorship! Franz, a stray kitten, was rescued in winter with a prolapsed intestine. The intestine hung out over 20 centimeters and for several days. Persistent diarrhea had likely caused it. When we finally caught Franz, we didn't know what the right solution was. But we couldn't bear to euthanize the young man after he had suffered and fought so much. So, Franz underwent surgery, the intestine was fixed, hoping it would hold. It did. Franz spent a long time in the hospital; initially, he couldn't control his feces. But that also got better. Now, Franz can use the litter box normally again. He is very shy and mistrustful, clearly after everything he has been through. But that is also getting better. Now he is looking for his family; this stray kitten, who fought so hard, and for whom we fought so hard, is now looking for someone to show him and us that it was worth it. With lots of patience, without pressure, just loving him and taking care of him. Franz really wants to move into his new home with other kittens or with a cat from his group.

Name: FranzAlter: 6-7 Monate. Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Franz, ein Streunerbaby, wurde im Winter mit ausgestülptem Darm gerettet. Der Darm hing über 20 Zentimeter heraus und das über mehrere Tage. Anhaltender Durchfall hatte wohl dazu geführt. Als wir Franz endlich fingen, wussten wir nicht, was die richtige Lösung sei. Doch wir brachten es nicht übers Herz den jungen Mann zu erlösen, nachdem er so gelitten und gekämpft hatte. Also wurde Franz operiert, der Darm fixiert, in der Hoffnung, dass er hält. Er hat gehalten. Franz verbrachte lange Zeit in der Krankenstation, er konnte anfangs den Kot nicht halten. Aber auch das wurde besser. Mittlerweile kann Franz wieder ganz normal aufs Kisterl gehen. Er ist sehr schüchtern und misstrauisch, ganz klar, nach all dem, was er durchmachen musste. Aber auch das wird schon besser. Jetzt ist er auf der Suche nach seiner Familie; dieses Streunerbaby, das so gekämpft hat, um das wir so gekämpft haben, sucht nun jemanden, der ihm und uns zeigt, dass es sich gelohnt hat. Mit viel Geduld, ohne Zwang, ihn einfach nur lieb hat und sich um ihn kümmert. Franz möchte unbedingt zu anderen Jungkatzen oder mit einer Katze aus seiner Gruppe in sein neues Zuhause ziehen.
