Miso

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Miso is a reserved female cat who needs time to gain trust. Currently, she is shy and likes to observe from a safe distance. Therefore, sufficient retreat options and hiding places are particularly important for her. Once Miso has gained trust, she enjoys her pets and likes to be pampered. She also makes it clear when it gets too much for her. She may growl, this is her way of communicating her boundaries. She does not show aggressive behavior. Miso is generally a sociable lady and more of a loner. Therefore, she is looking for a home where she can live as a single cat and enjoy her peace. Miso came to us due to incontinence. She does not currently show this behavior. Nevertheless, we wish for her a quiet home where her needs and her reserved nature are respected. A quiet single place would be ideal for Miso. Children are generally conceivable for her - here, however, sympathy and a calm, understanding approach decide. Whoever gives Miso the necessary time, respects her boundaries and offers her a safe retreat will gradually get to know her lovable and affectionate side. ❤️ Miso is looking for a quiet home where she can arrive at her own pace and just be herself. Do you think you are the right person for Miso or would you like to get to know her better? Then contact the shelter.

Miso ist eine zurückhaltende Katzendame, die etwas Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Bei uns zeigt sie sich derzeit eher schüchtern und beobachtet das Geschehen gerne aus sicherer Entfernung. Deshalb sind für sie ausreichend Rückzugsmöglichkeiten und Verstecke besonders wichtig. Hat Miso erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, genießt sie aber durchaus ihre Streicheleinheiten und lässt sich gerne verwöhnen. Sie zeigt dabei auch deutlich, wenn es ihr einmal zu viel wird. Es kann vorkommen, dass sie faucht, dies ist ihre Art, ihre Grenzen zu kommunizieren. Aggressives Verhalten zeigt sie dabei nicht. Miso ist grundsätzlich eine umgängliche Dame und eher eine Einzelgängerin. Daher sucht sie ein Zuhause, in dem sie als Einzelkatze leben darf und ihre Ruhe genießen kann. Miso kam aufgrund von Unsauberkeit zu uns. Dieses Verhalten zeigt sie bei uns derzeit nicht. Trotzdem wünschen wir uns für sie ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem ihre Bedürfnisse und ihre zurückhaltende Art respektiert werden. Ein ruhiger Einzelplatz wäre für Miso ideal. Kinder sind für sie grundsätzlich denkbar – hier entscheidet jedoch die Sympathie und ein ruhiger, verständnisvoller Umgang. Wer Miso die nötige Zeit gibt, ihre Grenzen respektiert und ihr einen sicheren Rückzugsort bietet, wird nach und nach ihre liebenswerte und verschmuste Seite kennenlernen. ❤️ Miso sucht ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf und einfach sie selbst sein kann. Sie meinen, Sie sind der richtige Mensch für Miso oder möchten sie näher kennenlernen? Dann nehmen Sie mit dem

About Miso

What life with Miso looks like

Miso is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein für Tirol in Innsbruck.

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. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Miso, answered.

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