How do I contact the shelter about Hilde?

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

Can I adopt Hilde if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg 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 Hilde 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 Hilde 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 Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hilde 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.

Hilde

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

Hallo, I am Hilde. 🐾 I am still a young cat and to be honest... I am still a bit cautious around people. Life hasn't shown me yet that you can always trust them. That's why I need some time to settle in and understand that I am finally safe. My siblings have all found their families. I am happy for them - and yet I wish that somewhere out there a person is waiting for me too. Someone who doesn't give up on me just because I don't jump onto their lap right away. If you give me patience, love and understanding, I will become a little braver every day. I am sure that deep down I am a real cuddly cat just waiting to feel safe. One thing is very important to me: I don't want to be alone in my new home. Other cats give me security and help me to settle in. That's why I would like a home with at least one lovely furry friend. Maybe I'm not the cat that immediately wins your heart with loud purring. But if you give me the time I need, you will experience how a shy little cat becomes a loyal companion. Can I finally come to you? I promise to slowly open my little cat heart to you. ❤️

Hallo, ich bin Hilde. 🐾 Ich bin noch eine junge Katze und ehrlich gesagt... ich bin Menschen gegenüber noch etwas vorsichtig. Das Leben hat mir bisher noch nicht gezeigt, dass man ihnen immer vertrauen kann. Deshalb brauche ich etwas Zeit, um anzukommen und zu verstehen, dass ich endlich in Sicherheit bin. Meine Geschwister haben alle schon ihre Familien gefunden. Ich freue mich für sie – und trotzdem wünsche ich mir, dass auch irgendwo da draußen ein Mensch auf mich wartet. Jemand, der mich nicht aufgibt, nur weil ich nicht sofort auf den Schoß hüpfe. Wenn du mir Geduld, Liebe und Verständnis schenkst, werde ich jeden Tag ein kleines Stück mutiger. Ich bin mir sicher, dass tief in mir eine richtige Schmusekatze steckt, die nur darauf wartet, sich endlich geborgen zu fühlen. Eines ist mir besonders wichtig: Ich möchte in meinem neuen Zuhause nicht alleine sein. Andere Katzen geben mir Sicherheit und helfen mir dabei, mich einzuleben. Deshalb wünsche ich mir ein Zuhause mit mindestens einer lieben Samtpfote. Vielleicht bin ich nicht die Katze, die sofort dein Herz mit lautem Schnurren erobert. Aber wenn du mir die Zeit gibst, die ich brauche, wirst du erleben, wie aus einer schüchternen kleinen Katze eine treue Begleiterin wird. Darf ich bei dir endlich ankommen? Ich verspreche, mein kleines Katzenherz ganz langsam für dich zu öffnen. ❤️

About Hilde

What life with Hilde looks like

Hilde is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg in Wolfsberg.

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.
