Marille und Knödel

Male · Kitten · 3 months

Marille and her son Knödel didn't have a happy start in life. Just a few days after Knödel was born, the little family was abandoned in a sack in a field. Fortunately, the kittens were quickly found and taken to an animal shelter. Due to her fear, Marille could only be rescued a day later. Sadly, Knödel's two siblings did not survive. As a result, the bond between mother and son has become especially close. Therefore, Marille and Knödel will only be rehomed together. We wish these two a loving home with eventual outdoor access, where they can finally feel safe and enjoy their cat lives to the fullest.

Marille und ihr Sohn Knödel hatten keinen schönen Start ins Leben. Nur wenige Tage nach Knödels Geburt wurden die kleine Familie in einem Sack auf einem Feld ausgesetzt. Zum Glück wurden die Kätzchen rasch gefunden und ins Tierheim gebracht. Marille konnte aufgrund ihrer Angst erst einen Tag später gesichert werden. Leider haben Knödels zwei Geschwister nicht überlebt. Dadurch ist die Bindung zwischen Mutter und Sohn besonders eng geworden. Deshalb werden Marille und Knödel nur gemeinsam vermittelt. Für die beiden wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause mit späterem Freigang, in dem sie endlich ankommen und ihr Katzenleben genießen dürfen.

About Marille und Knödel

What life with Marille und Knödel looks like

Marille und Knödel is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Kärntner Tierschutzverein Villach in Villach.

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 Marille und Knödel, answered.

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