Joshua

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 4 months

The little Joshua is about 4 months old, male and already neutered. He is the son of a stray cat and unfortunately has not had many opportunities to have positive experiences with people so far. Therefore, Joshua is currently very anxious and reserved. He needs people with a lot of patience and empathy who give him the time he needs to gain trust. ❤️ He should arrive at his own pace and be allowed to learn very slowly that he can trust people. For Joshua, we are looking for a loving and quiet home where he can get security, comfort and understanding. His new people should be willing to give him the necessary time and not expect rapid progress. It is particularly important for Joshua to have the company of a suitable companion. Therefore, he will only be given to an existing, same-aged cat or together with a suitable companion animal from our

Der kleine Joshua ist etwa 4 Monate alt, männlich und bereits kastriert. Er ist das Junge einer Streunerkatze und hatte bisher leider noch nicht viele Möglichkeiten, positive Erfahrungen mit Menschen zu sammeln. Deshalb ist Joshua momentan sehr ängstlich und zurückhaltend. Er braucht Menschen mit viel Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen, die ihm die Zeit geben, die er benötigt, um Vertrauen zu fassen. ❤️ Er soll in seinem eigenen Tempo ankommen und ganz langsam lernen dürfen, dass er Menschen vertrauen kann. Für Joshua suchen wir ein liebevolles und ruhiges Zuhause, in dem er Sicherheit, Geborgenheit und Verständnis bekommt. Seine neuen Menschen sollten bereit sein, ihm die nötige Zeit zu schenken und keine schnellen Fortschritte zu erwarten. Ganz besonders wichtig ist für Joshua die Gesellschaft eines passenden Artgenossen. Daher wird er ausschließlich zu einer bereits vorhandenen, gleichaltrigen Katze oder gemeinsam mit einem passenden Partnertier aus unserer

About Joshua

What life with Joshua looks like

Joshua is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Landestierschutzverein Steiermark in Graz.

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 Joshua, answered.

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