Female · Young · 2 years

Gilbert wartet auf sein Für-immer-Zuhause! Der liebe Kater Gilbert ist sehr menschenbezogen und genießt ausgiebige Kuscheleinheiten. Er ist gerne draußen unterwegs und versteht sich mit Artgenossen. Gilbert hat einen leichten chronischen Schnupfen sowie eine alte Nickhautverletzung, die ihm keine Probleme bereitet. Aufgrund leichter Gleichgewichtsprobleme läuft er manchmal etwas taumelig. Nun wünscht sich Gilbert liebevolle Menschen, die ihn so annehmen, wie er ist, und ihm ein gemütliches Zuhause schenken.

About Gilbert

What life with Gilbert looks like

Gilbert is a young adult cat waiting at Kärntner Tierschutzverein Villach in Villach.

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 Gilbert, answered.

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