Izolda+Lyke

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 1 year

Izolda and Lyke are two young cats that are currently still very shy and reserved. They need a longer acclimation period as well as many retreat and hiding options to feel safe in a new environment. Currently, neither enjoys petting and prefers to keep their distance from humans. It is impossible to predict how long it will take them to gain trust. Therefore, they are looking for people who will give them the time and patience they need. The two are very attached to each other. They are often found cuddled up together, and they especially like to spend time in our outdoor area. For Izolda and Lyke, we are looking for a quiet home without other animals with a secure patio or secure outdoor access, so they can continue to spend time outdoors and arrive at their own pace.

„Schüchterne Jungkatzen“ Name: Izolda und Lyke Geschlecht: beide weiblich, kastriert Tiernr.: 271475 bzw. 271482 Geburtsdatum: Juli 2025 bzw. April 2025 Zuhause gesucht: ruhiges Zuhause ohne andere Tiere mit gesicherter Terrasse oder gesichertem Freigang Izolda und Lyke sind zwei junge Katzen, die sich aktuell noch sehr unsicher und zurückhaltend zeigen. Sie benötigen eine längere Eingewöhnungsphase sowie viele Rückzugs- und Versteckmöglichkeiten, um sich in einer neuen Umgebung sicher zu fühlen. Derzeit genießen beide keine Streicheleinheiten und halten lieber Abstand zum Menschen. Wie lange sie brauchen werden, um Vertrauen zu fassen, lässt sich nicht vorhersagen. Daher suchen sie Menschen, die ihnen die Zeit und Geduld geben, die sie benötigen. Die beiden hängen sehr aneinander. Meist findet man sie eng aneinander gekuschelt, und besonders gerne halten sie sich in unserem Außenbereich auf. Für Izolda und Lyke suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne andere Tiere mit einer gesicherten Terrasse oder gesichertem Freigang, damit sie weiterhin die Möglichkeit haben, Zeit im Freien zu verbringen und in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen.

About Izolda+Lyke

What life with Izolda+Lyke looks like

Izolda+Lyke is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierschutz Austria 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.

🇦🇹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 Izolda+Lyke, answered.

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