Malia

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 3 months

The young female cat "Malia" is initially somewhat shy and reserved around strangers. However, given time to adjust to her new surroundings, she quickly thaws and displays age-appropriate playfulness. Malia is not only very compatible with her own kind, she also prefers to spend her days with the other cats in her group. Therefore, Malia would like to have a suitable social partner by her side in her new family.

DE·Show original

Die junge Kätzin "Malia" begegnet fremden Menschen zunächst noch etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend. Gibt man ihr aber Zeit, um sich mit den neuen Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen, taut sie bald auf und zeigt sich altersentsprechend verspielt. Malia zeigt sich mit Artgenossen nicht nur sehr gut verträglich, sie verbringt ihren Alltag auch am liebsten mit den anderen Katzen ihrer Gruppe. Deshalb möchte Malia in ihrer neuen Familie auch einen geeigneten Sozialpartner an ihrer Seite wissen.

About Malia

What life with Malia looks like

Malia is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzhaus Sonnenhof in Eisenstadt.

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 Malia, answered.

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