Lilly

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

Hallo, ich bin Lilly!Nach einem schweren Autounfall kam ich ins Tierheim und musste dort erst einmal in Ruhe gesund werden. Mittlerweile sind meine Verletzungen gut verheilt und ich bin bereit, mich auf die Suche nach einem ruhigen und liebevollen Zuhause zu machen.Ich bin eine freundliche, aber sehr schüchterne und sensible Katzendame. Fremden Menschen begegne ich zunächst vorsichtig und brauche etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Bei Personen, die ich bereits kenne, genieße ich Streicheleinheiten aber sehr und zeige dann, wie lieb ich eigentlich bin. Mit anderen Katzen bin ich grundsätzlich verträglich, suche deren Gesellschaft allerdings nicht unbedingt und fühle mich eher als Einzelkatze wohl. Eine ruhige, ältere Katze könnte ich mir aber ebenfalls als Gesellschaft vorstellen. Nach meinem Unfall hatte ich einen Beckenbruch und einen Schwanzabriss, beides wurde chirurgisch versorgt und ist mittlerweile gut verheilt. Ich kann wieder schön laufen und zeige mich gesundheitlich derzeit unauffällig.Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir einen ruhigen Haushalt in Wohnungshaltung, in dem ich ganz in meinem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf. Besonders wichtig sind mir Menschen mit viel Zeit, Geduld und Verständnis, die bereit sind, sich meine Freundschaft Schritt für Schritt zu verdienen Wenn du mir die Zeit geben möchtest, die ich brauche, und mich gerne kennenlernen möchtest, dann melde dich im Tierheim.Deine Lilly

About Lilly

What life with Lilly looks like

Lilly is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein St. Pölten in St. Pölten.

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 Lilly, answered.

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