George

Male · Young · 2 years

George was brought to the Tierklinik Sattledt severely injured – but he fought. After a successful operation, he was allowed to move to our animal shelter and has since recovered well. The handsome tomcat is now ready for his next step: a new home where he can enjoy outdoor access again. George does not want to share his home with other cats, however – he prefers to be the sole prince. He loves people all the more for it! He is incredibly friendly, open, and enjoys every form of affection. Due to his history, George needs special food to support his bladder, which should continue to be taken into account in his new home. For George, we are looking for a loving home with outdoor access, where he can enjoy the full attention of his humans as an only cat.

George wurde schwer verletzt in der Tierklinik Sattledt eingeliefert – doch er hat gekämpft. Nach einer gelungenen Operation durfte er zu uns ins Tierheim übersiedeln und hat sich mittlerweile gut erholt. Der stattliche Kater ist nun bereit für seinen nächsten Schritt: ein neues Zuhause, in dem er wieder Freigang genießen darf. Mit anderen Katzen möchte George sein Zuhause allerdings nicht teilen – er ist lieber Einzelprinz. Dafür liebt er Menschen umso mehr! Er zeigt sich unglaublich freundlich, offen und genießt jede Form von Zuwendung. Aufgrund seiner Vorgeschichte benötigt George spezielles Futter zur Unterstützung seiner Blase, was in seinem neuen Zuhause weiterhin berücksichtigt werden sollte. Für George suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Freigang, in dem er als Einzelkater die volle Aufmerksamkeit seiner Menschen genießen darf.

About George

What life with George looks like

George is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Linz in Linz.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting George, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about George?
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 George on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt George 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 George 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 George 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 George 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.
