Helia

Female · Kitten

Hello, I'm HELIA! At the shelter since: 22.07.2026, found in Wels. Housing: Outdoor - NO SOLE CONTAINMENT. I absolutely need a companion in my new happy home - I would love a nice playful second cat, roughly my age. Maybe I can move in with one of my shelter friends? I get along really well with my roommate SCHNITZEL (25609) - we always cuddle together... So here's how I am: Friendly, curious and attentive. As playful as I am, I also enjoy relaxing in my cozy bed.

Hallo, ich bin HELIA! Im Tierheim seit: 22.07.2026, gefunden in Wels Unterbringung: Freigang - KEINE EINZELHALTUNG Gesellschaft: Ich brauche unbedingt einen Artgenossen in meinem neuen Happy Home - am liebsten wäre mir eine nette verspielte Zweitkatze, die ungefähr so alt ist wie ich. Vielleicht darf ich ja mit einem meiner Tierheimfreundinnen in ein neues Zuhause ziehen? Ich verstehe mich z.B. sehr gut mit meiner Zimmergenossin SCHNITZEL (25609) - wir kuscheln immer gemeinsam... So bin ich: Freundlich, neugierig und aufmerksam. So verspielt ich auch bin, so sehr genieße ich es auch ab und zu, einfach gemütlich in meinem Betterl zu liegen und zu entspannen.

About Helia

What life with Helia looks like

Helia is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Wels in Wels.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Helia, answered.

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