How do I contact the shelter about Mr. Big & Carrie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein St. Pölten handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mr. Big & Carrie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mr. Big & Carrie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein St. Pölten 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 Mr. Big & Carrie 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 Mr. Big & Carrie 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 St. Pölten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mr. Big & Carrie 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.

Mr. Big & Carrie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Hello, we are Carrie & Mr. Big. In the course of a governmental inspection, we ended up at the animal shelter St. Pölten. Now we are searching for our absolute dream home! We are two friendly and extremely cuddly cats. At the beginning, Carrie is a bit reserved with strangers and needs a few minutes to check everything out, but then she comes quickly and looks for her cuddles. Mr. Big is the exact opposite and greets every visitor with high energy and loud enthusiasm. We were always indoor cats, get along well with other cats, and know dogs. Health-wise, we show no major issues, but in the past, we had to go through longer periods of hunger and were very emaciated when we arrived at the animal shelter. Here we were well-nourished, but I, Carrie, still need to put on a bit more weight. Mr. Big was very greedy at the beginning when it came to eating and although he has become more relaxed, he still has a massive fear of not getting enough to eat. We currently have dry food available and get small portions of wet food distributed in our room several times a day. Here, fixed routines in the new home might help us to relax faster. We are searching for a joint home in suitable for apartment living with loving people who are willing to take our past into consideration and have the time to get to know us. Other cats or even a friendly dog could already live with you. Children should be a bit bigger. Would you like to give us a home? Then please get in touch! Your Carrie & Mr. Big.

Halli-Hallo,Wir sind Carrie & Mr. Big.Im Zuge einer behördlichen Abnahme kamen wir ins Tierheim St. Pölten. Jetzt suchen wir unser absolutes Traumzuhause!Wir sind zwei freundliche und übermäßig verschmuste Katzen. Ich, Carrie, bin bei fremden Menschen zu Beginn ein wenig zurückhaltend und benötige ein paar Minuten um alles abzuchecken, dann komme ich aber rasch und hole mir meine Streicheleinheiten ab. Mr. Big ist das genaue Gegenteil und begrüßt jeden Besucher energiegeladen und lautstark.Wir waren bisher immer Wohnungskatzen, zeigen uns mit anderen Katzen gut verträglich und kennen Hunde.Gesundheitlich zeigen wir uns weitestgehend unauffällig, allerdings mussten wir in der Vergangenheit immer wieder über längere Episoden hungern und waren sehr abgemagert, als wir ins Tierheim kamen. Hier wurden wir aufgepäppelt, aber gerade ich, Carrie, muss noch ein wenig zulegen. Mr. Big zeigte sich zu Beginn sehr gierig beim Fressen und auch wenn er entspannter geworden ist, hat er immer noch massive Angst nicht genug zum Fressen zu bekommen. Wir haben aktuell dauerhaft Trockenfutter zur Verfügung und bekommen mehrmals täglich kleine Portionen Nassfutter in unserem Zimmer verteilt. Hier können uns im neuen Zuhause zu Beginn fixe Routinen helfen, uns schneller zu entspannen.Wir suchen ein gemeinsames Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung bei lieben Menschen die bereit sind Rücksicht auf unsere Vergangenheit zu nehmen und Zeit haben, sich mit uns zu beschäftigen. Gerne können schon andere Katzen oder auch ein freundlicher Hund bei dir wohnen. Kinder sollten schon ein wenig Größer sein.Möchtest du uns ein Plätzchen schenken?Dann melde dich bitte!Deine Carrie & Mr. Big

About Mr. Big & Carrie

What life with Mr. Big & Carrie looks like

Mr. Big & Carrie is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein St. Pölten in St. Pölten.

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.
