Lina

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Lina needs a little time to come out of her shell. But whoever has a fishing rod with them has a pretty good chance with her. Because as soon as it comes to playing, Lina quickly forgets her initial shyness. She is a real little play mouse and then shows her cheerful, curious side. For Lina, we wish for a home with patient people who give her the time to trust in peace. She would be especially happy about a friendly second cat. Maybe you are the person who can teach Lina that people can be really great?

DE·Show original

Lina braucht ein kleines bisschen Zeit, bis sie sich aus der Reserve locken lässt. Aber wer eine Spielangel dabei hat, hat bei ihr schon ziemlich gute Karten. Denn sobald es ans Spielen geht, vergisst Lina ihre anfängliche Schüchternheit schnell. Sie ist eine richtige kleine Spielemaus und zeigt dann ihre fröhliche, neugierige Seite. Für Lina wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause mit geduldigen Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, in Ruhe Vertrauen zu fassen. Über eine freundliche Zweitkatze würde sie sich ganz besonders freuen. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, bei dem Lina lernen darf, dass Menschen richtig toll sein können?

About Lina

What life with Lina looks like

Lina is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah 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 Lina, answered.

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