How do I contact the shelter about Jade?

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

Can I adopt Jade if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Linz 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 Jade 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 Jade 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 Linz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jade 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.

Jade

Female · Young · 3 years

Opal and Jade arrived at the shelter as pregnant stray cats. Both were secured with traps and were able to give birth to their kittens safely and well cared for. The short-haired Jade has since gained trust in humans and is friendly and approachable. Opal, a beautiful pastel tortoiseshell long-haired cat, is more reserved. She comes close to people but makes it clear with a distinct growl that she does not want to be touched at the moment. We hope that with patience and positive experiences, she can also gradually gain trust. Since the two cats are familiar with each other, it would be especially nice if they could move into their new home together. Patient people are sought who will not pressure Opal and give her enough time to arrive at her own pace. After a suitable acclimatization period, Opal and Jade absolutely need outdoor access in a quiet, low-traffic environment. Since they have chronic digestive problems and their feeding and health status must be kept in good view, we are looking for a home without other cats.

DE·Show original

Opal und Jade kamen als hochträchtige Streunerkatzen zu uns. Beide wurden mit Fallen gesichert und konnten ihre Jungen anschließend geschützt und gut versorgt zur Welt bringen. Die kurzhaarige Jade hat inzwischen Vertrauen zu den Menschen gefasst und zeigt sich freundlich und zugänglich. Opal, eine wunderschöne pastell-schildpattfarbene Langhaarkatze, ist dagegen noch deutlich zurückhaltender. Sie kommt zwar bereits in die Nähe von Menschen, macht mit einem deutlichen Fauchen aber klar, dass sie momentan noch nicht berührt werden möchte. Wir hoffen, dass auch sie mit viel Geduld und positiven Erfahrungen nach und nach Vertrauen fassen kann. Da die beiden Katzen miteinander vertraut sind, wäre es besonders schön, wenn sie gemeinsam in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen könnten. Gesucht werden geduldige Menschen, die Opal nicht bedrängen und ihr ausreichend Zeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Für Opal und Jade ist nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit unbedingt Freigang in einer ruhigen, verkehrsarmen Umgebung erforderlich. Da bei ihnen chronische Verdauungsprobleme bestehen und ihre Fütterung sowie ihr Gesundheitszustand entsprechend gut im Blick behalten werden müssen, suchen wir für sie ein Zuhause ohne weitere Katzen.

About Jade

What life with Jade looks like

Jade is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Linz in Linz.

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.
