Lotte

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Lotte is a 6-year-old female cat who was found living in a sewer pipe. She is shy and has not yet gotten used to human contact, but she knows where to find food and uses the litter box. She loves sitting on the windowsill, eating treats, and watching people sleep. Her foster mom clicks with her, and she enjoys eating treats from her hand. They are both proud of their progress. If you want to give Lotte a home where she can go outside after getting used to it, and you have patience for a shy cat and maybe already have a pet at home (for socialization), please contact SOS Cat. A shy meow from Lotte. If you want to give a cat a home, please send us an email and tell us a bit about yourself and your living situation.

Hallo liebe Katzenmamas und Katzenpapas! Dann möchte ich mich erstmal vorstellen, dass ihr alle wisst, mit wem ihr es zu tun habt. Also mein Name ist Lotte und ich bin bereits ca. 6 Jahre alt. Als ich damals gefunden wurde, habe ich in einem Kanalrohr gewohnt – stellt euch das mal vor! Daher bin ich den Kontakt mit Menschen noch nicht so gewöhnt und husche noch immer schnell davon. Trotzdem weiß ich, wo und von wem ich etwas zum Essen bekomme und benutze auch brav mein Katzenklo. Ich liebe mein Plätzchen auf der Fensterbank, Leckerlis und schaue den Menschen gerne beim Schlafen zu. Meine Pflegemama klickert mit mir und das macht mir mittlerweile so große Freude, dass ich auch Leckerlis aus ihrer Hand fresse :) Wir sind beide sehr stolz auf unsere Fortschritte. Möchtest du mir ein Zuhause schenken, in dem ich nach einer Eingewöhnung auch wieder hinaus ins Freie darf und hast du genug Geduld für ein schüchternes Katzerl und vielleicht sogar schon eine(n) nette(n) Vierbeiner/in zu Hause haben (zwecks Auftauen), dann melde dich gleich mal per Mail bei SOS Katze. Ein schüchternes Miau von eurer Lotte Wenn ihr einer Katze ein Zuhause schenken möchtet, schickt uns doch bitte eine Mail und erzählt uns gleich ein wenig über euch und eure Wohnsituation. Eine

About Lotte

What life with Lotte looks like

Lotte is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at SOS Katze Graz in Graz.

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. Shelters often include spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations, but confirm with the shelter what your adoption covers.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lotte, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lotte?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SOS Katze Graz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lotte on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lotte if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SOS Katze Graz whether they will for Lotte, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lotte already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Lotte. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SOS Katze Graz, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lotte isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SOS Katze Graz about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lotte 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.
