Katniss

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 3 years

female cat "Katniss" meets her unknown persons rather reserved and cautious. For this reason, she should receive enough patience and time upon arrival in her new family to get used to "her own pace" to the new situation and the still unknown people. Once she has this possibility, she also gains trust and can then enjoy first cuddles. Katniss comes from a larger group of cats and shows herself to be well compatible with fellow animals - a already living cat in the household would not be a problem. The kitten was tested positive for Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) and will only be placed with another tested positive cat. Katniss wishes for a new family that, after an appropriate settling-in period, can also offer her the possibility of a secure release (e.g., a secured balcony). Animal Welfare Shelter Sonnenhof Franz von Assisi-Strasse 1 | 7000 Eisenstadt | ZVR E-MAIL:. This cat needs outdoor access.

Katzendame "Katniss" begegnet ihr unbekannten Personen zurückhaltend und vorsichtig. Aus diesem Grund möchte sie bei der Ankunft in ihre neue Familie ausreichend Geduld und Zeit erhalten, um sich in "ihrem Tempo" an die neue Situation und die noch unbekannten Menschen zu gewöhnen. Hat sie diese Möglichkeit, fasst sie auch Vertrauen und kann dann erste Streicheleinheiten genießen. Katniss stammt aus einer größeren Katzengruppe und zeigt sich mit Artgenossen gut verträglich - eine bereits im Haushalt lebende Katze wäre kein Problem. Die Kätzin wurde positiv auf das Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) getestet und wird nur zu einer ebenfalls positiv getesteten Katze vergeben. Katniss wünscht sich eine neue Familie, die ihr nach entsprechender Eingewöhnungszeit auch die Möglichkeit zum gesicherten Freigang (z.B. gesicherter Balkon) bieten kann.

About Katniss

What life with Katniss looks like

Katniss is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) in Austria.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Katniss, answered.

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