How do I contact the shelter about Garfield?

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

Can I adopt Garfield if I live in another country?

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

Garfield

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten

This sweet cat was brought to us on 25.08.2026 by Tierrettung Plus after being first treated. Garfield was found in 5061 Elsbethen, Oberwinkl. The dear boy is estimated to be around 5-8 years old and unfortunately neither neutered nor microchipped. A paralysis was detected in his right hind leg during the veterinary examination. There is a suspicion that Garfield may have had a car accident - however, we currently do not know how he was injured. ❤️‍🩹 Now Garfield is allowed to arrive at our shelter, rest and recover from the ordeal. In the next few days we will observe how his condition develops and decide together with the veterinarians which further medical treatment is necessary and sensible for him. 🐱❤️ Until then the sweet boy gets mainly one thing from us: rest, care and lots of love. 🥰🐾 And of course we also want to find out if Garfield is perhaps sorely missed somewhere. 👉 Who knows this dear cat or misses him? All the best for your recovery, dear Garfield! ❤️❤️❤️

Dieser süße Kater wurde uns am 25.08.2026 von der Tierrettung Plus gebracht, nachdem er zuvor im erstversorgt wurde. Garfield wurde in 5061 Elsbethen, Oberwinkl gefunden. Der liebe Bub wird auf etwa 5–8 Jahre geschätzt und ist leider weder kastriert noch gechippt. Bei der tierärztlichen Untersuchung wurde eine Lähmung am rechten Hinterbein festgestellt. Es besteht der Verdacht, dass Garfield möglicherweise einen Autounfall gehabt haben könnte – wie es tatsächlich zu seiner Verletzung gekommen ist, wissen wir derzeit allerdings nicht. ❤️‍🩹 Nun darf Garfield erst einmal bei uns ankommen, sich ausruhen und von den Strapazen erholen. In den nächsten Tagen werden wir beobachten, wie sich sein Zustand entwickelt, und gemeinsam mit den Tierärzten entscheiden, welche weitere medizinische Behandlung für ihn notwendig und sinnvoll ist. 🐱❤️ Bis dahin bekommt der süße Bub bei uns vor allem eines: Ruhe, Fürsorge und ganz viel Liebe. 🥰🐾 Und natürlich möchten wir auch herausfinden, ob Garfield vielleicht irgendwo schmerzlich vermisst wird. 👉 Wer kennt diesen lieben Kater oder vermisst ihn? Alles Liebe für deine Genesung, lieber Garfield! ❤️❤️❤️

About Garfield

What life with Garfield looks like

Garfield is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Theo in Theo.

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.
