Margret

Female

Margret is a sensitive female cat who does not get along with other cats and sometimes reacts defensively toward them. She is rather shy around people and needs time to build trust. She wishes for a home with outdoor access where she can enjoy her peace and quiet.

About Margret

What life with Margret looks like

Margret is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at Vorarlberger Tierschutzheim 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.

Note from the shelter: Needs single-cat household and outdoor access

🇦🇹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 Margret, answered.

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