Adopt Mochi

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Kitten · 7 months

My parents, Mochi and Mochi, came to their home together through a cat association, and they were sure they had finally found their forever home. Everything seemed to fit perfectly, but unfortunately, the planned spaying was forgotten – and so I appeared in their lives much sooner than anyone had expected. My parents were themselves still kittens when they suddenly became mom and dad. But our family life was wonderful from the start – after all, I was constantly surrounded, spoiled, and doted on. The three of us made a truly cute little team. We played together, slept together, got a little silly, and then cuddled exhaustedly together to fall asleep – that’s how our everyday life looked. It seemed like it could have gone on forever. But then everything changed suddenly. The older man of the house returned after a long time away and brought not only many travel memories but also a strong cat hair allergy. No matter how much our humans loved us – eventually, living together became too difficult. Reluctantly, we had to move into the cat shelter of the Halleiner Animal Shelter. Fortunately, everyone here takes very good care of us and gives us the feeling of being safe. Despite that, I still wish for a real home. I am about 7 months old and a rather gentle and initially cautious kitten girl. I prefer to observe new situations first – but if I notice that you are friendly to me, I become curious, cuddly, and enjoy every petting session to the fullest. So far, I have only been with my mom in the apartment, but I am open to exploring the outside world. I am already microchipped and neutered, and now I just need a real home – and although it almost sounds like a fairytale: the most beautiful thing would be if I could move out together with my mom and dad.

Die Meine Mama Coco und mein Papa Tyson kamen gemeinsam über einen Katzenverein in ihr Zuhause und waren sich eigentlich sicher, dort endlich angekommen zu sein. Alles schien perfekt zu passen, nur leider wurde damals die geplante Kastration vergessen – und so tauchte ich schneller in ihrem Leben auf, als irgendjemand gerechnet hätte. Meine Eltern waren selbst noch Katzenkinder, als sie plötzlich Mama und Papa wurden. aber das Familienleben war von Anfang an wunderbar – schließlich wurde ich rund um die Uhr umsorgt, bekuschelt und liebevoll bemuttert. Wir drei waren ein richtig süßes kleines Team. Zusammen spielen, gemeinsam schlafen, ein bisschen Blödsinn anstellen und danach völlig erschöpft übereinander gekuschelt einschlafen – genau so sah unser Alltag aus. Eigentlich hätte es ewig so weitergehen können. Doch dann änderte sich plötzlich alles. Der ältere Herr des Hauses kehrte nach längerer Zeit wieder zurück und brachte leider nicht nur viele Reiseerinnerungen mit, sondern auch eine starke Katzenhaarallergie. So sehr uns unsere Menschen lieb hatten – irgendwann wurde das Zusammenleben einfach zu schwierig. Schweren Herzens mussten wir deshalb ins Katzenhaus des Halleiner Tierheims ziehen. Zum Glück kümmern sich hier alle ganz liebevoll um uns und geben uns das Gefühl, sicher zu sein. Trotzdem wünsche ich mir natürlich wieder ein richtiges Zuhause. Ich bin ungefähr 7 Monate alt und ein eher sanftes und am Anfang vorsichtiges Katzenmädchen. Neue Situationen beobachte ich lieber erstmal - wenn ich aber merke, dass man freundlich zu mir ist, werde ich neugierig, verschmust und genieße jede Streicheleinheit in vollen Zügen. Bisher war ich mit meiner Mama nur in der Wohnung, bin aber offen dafür, mir die Welt da draußen auzuschauen. Gechippt und auch kastriert bin ich schon, Jetzt fehlt mir nur noch ein richtiges Daheim - und auch wenn es fast wie ein Märchen klingt: Am allerschönsten wäre es, wenn ich gemeinsam mit meiner Mama und meinem Papa ausziehen dürfte.

About Mochi

What life with Mochi looks like

Mochi is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Hallein in Hallein.

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 Mochi, answered.

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