Nicolas

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 2 months

Nicolas is a young cat who is agile for his age. He still approaches strangers and new situations with some shyness and will need time to adjust to his new home. Nicolas models his behavior on that of other cats and would like to have a suitable, confident social partner by his side in his new family.

DE·Show original

Nicolas ist ein junger und seinem Alter entsprechend agiler Kater. Fremden Menschen und neuen Situationen tritt er noch schüchtern entgegen und er wird bei der Eingewöhnung in sein neues Zuhause Zeit benötigen.

About Nicolas

What life with Nicolas looks like

Nicolas is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzhaus Sonnenhof in Eisenstadt.

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 Nicolas, answered.

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