Adopt Gisele

European Shorthair · Female

🐾 Gentle Cat Soul Gisele Seeks a Quiet Forever Home Gisele is a female cat, about one year old, who wishes to win your heart with much patience and love. She originally came from a life as a stray cat and has learned to be cautious during her young life. As such, she is very shy and timid, especially around new people and unfamiliar situations. But behind her reserve lies a delicate, sensitive soul that slowly begins to trust. With peace, understanding, and a safe retreat, Gisele opens up step by step – entirely at her own pace. What Gisele wishes for: Gisele is not a cat who will jump into your lap right away – but she is one who grows with time, respect, and love. Whoever gives her this chance will be rewarded with a very special trust. If you want to give Gisele a loving home where she can be just as she is, she looks forward to meeting you.

🐾 Sanfte Katzenseele Gisele sucht ein ruhiges Für‑immer‑Zuhause Gisele ist eine etwa ein Jahr alte Katzendame, die mit viel Geduld und Herz erobert werden möchte. Sie stammt ursprünglich aus dem Leben einer Streunerkatze und hat in ihrem bisherigen jungen Leben gelernt, vorsichtig zu sein. Entsprechend zeigt sie sich sehr scheu und schüchtern, besonders gegenüber neuen Menschen und ungewohnten Situationen. Doch hinter ihrer Zurückhaltung steckt eine feine, sensible Seele, die langsam beginnt, Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit Ruhe, Verständnis und einem sicheren Rückzugsort öffnet sich Gisele Schritt für Schritt – ganz in ihrem eigenen Tempo. Was Gisele sich wünscht: Gisele ist keine Katze, die sofort auf den Schoß springt – aber sie ist eine, die man mit Zeit, Respekt und Liebe wachsen sieht. Wer ihr diese Chance gibt, wird mit einem ganz besonderen Vertrauen belohnt. Wenn du Gisele ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchtest, in dem sie so sein darf, wie sie ist, dann freut sie sich darauf, dich kennenzulernen.

About Gisele

What life with Gisele looks like

Gisele is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Landestierschutzverein Steiermark in Graz.

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 Gisele, answered.

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