Jinx

Female · Kitten · 3 months

Nova, Jinx, Pepper and Rocket are about three months old and the children of a stray cat. Since they have had little contact with humans so far, the four are currently in a foster home where they are gently introduced to everyday life and human closeness. Two of the girls are already showing some openness and are increasingly discovering their curious side. Rocket and one of his sisters, however, are still more reserved and need a bit more time, patience and empathy. Step by step, they are also learning that people are not so scary. For the little shy ones, we are looking for quiet, understanding homes with people who give them the time they need to arrive and do not expect immediate cuddly cats. The kittens will not be placed individually, but in pairs or with an existing, age-appropriate cat.

DE·Show original

Nova, Jinx, Pepper und Rocket sind etwa drei Monate alt und die Kinder einer Streunerkatze. Da sie bisher nur wenig Kontakt zu Menschen hatten, leben die vier derzeit auf einer Pflegestelle, wo sie behutsam an den Alltag und an menschliche Nähe gewöhnt werden. Zwei der Mädchen zeigen sich bereits etwas aufgeschlossener und entdecken zunehmend ihre neugierige Seite. Rocket und eines seiner Schwestern sind hingegen noch deutlich zurückhaltender und brauchen etwas mehr Zeit, Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen. Schritt für Schritt lernen aber auch sie, dass Menschen gar nicht so unheimlich sind. Für die kleinen Schüchtis suchen wir ruhige, verständnisvolle Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihnen die nötige Zeit zum Ankommen geben und keine sofortigen Schmusekatzen erwarten. Die Kitten werden nicht einzeln, sondern paarweise oder zu einer bereits vorhandenen, altersmäßig passenden Katze vermittelt.

About Jinx

What life with Jinx looks like

Jinx is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Linz in Linz.

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 Jinx, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jinx?
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 Jinx on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jinx 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 Jinx 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 Jinx 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 Jinx 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.
