How do I contact the shelter about Isabelle?

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

Can I adopt Isabelle if I live in another country?

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

Isabelle

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · 2 years

"Seek people who accept me as I am" Birthdate: January 2022 Looking for a home: with a yard or in a place where she has plenty of space to unfold herself and can decide when to seek contact with people Isabelle is a rather shy cat who needs a lot of time and patience to build trust. She feels most comfortable with a confident second cat by her side, which gives her security and stability. Once she has gotten used to her surroundings, Isabelle warms up and likes to play, also seeking interaction with people – but she does not want to be approached or stroked without being asked. Respecting her boundaries is very important to her. For Isabelle, we wish for a place with a yard or in a place where she has plenty of space to unfold herself and can decide when to seek contact with people. This cat needs outdoor access.

„Suche Menschen, die mich akzeptieren, wie ich bin“ Geburtsdatum: Jan. 2022 Zuhause gesucht: mit Freigang oder auf einem Hof, wo sie viel Raum zur Entfaltung hat und selbst entscheiden kann, wann sie den Kontakt zu Menschen sucht Isabelle ist eine eher scheue Katze, die viel Zeit und Geduld braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Sie fühlt sich mit einer souveränen Zweitkatze an ihrer Seite, die ihr Sicherheit und Halt gibt, am wohlsten. Hat sie sich erst an ihre Umgebung gewöhnt, taut Isabelle auf, spielt gerne und sucht auch die Interaktion mit Menschen – allerdings möchte sie dabei nicht angegriffen oder ungefragt gestreichelt werden. Ihre Grenzen zu respektieren ist ihr sehr wichtig. Für Isabelle wünschen wir uns einen Platz mit Freigang oder auf einem Hof, wo sie viel Raum zur Entfaltung hat und selbst entscheiden kann, wann sie den Kontakt zu Menschen sucht.

About Isabelle

What life with Isabelle looks like

Isabelle is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Wiener Tierschutzverein in Vienna.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs outdoor access or farm environment, requires second cat companion, very shy and needs patient owners who respect boundaries

🇦🇹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.
