How do I contact the shelter about Obelix?

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

Can I adopt Obelix if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Landestierschutzverein Steiermark 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 Obelix 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 Obelix 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 Landestierschutzverein Steiermark early rather than rehoming privately; they know Obelix 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.

Obelix

European Shorthair · Male

Obelix was born together with his brother Asterix after their mother was brought to our animal shelter as a stray while pregnant. Here, the two brothers were able to grow up safely—and now Obelix is ready to find his own forever home. The little tiger cub is a very trusting, cuddly cat who immediately trusts people. He loves closeness, enjoys being petted, and shows himself to be open, friendly, and playful. With his gentle nature and curious gaze, he quickly wins everyone’s heart. Obelix longs for a loving home where he can feel secure, receive plenty of attention, and enjoy a safe environment. It would be especially wonderful for him if he could move in together with his brother Asterix—the two make a harmonious pair and get along wonderfully. However, an individual adoption is also possible if you already have a second cat. Who would like to give Obelix (perhaps even together with Asterix) a warm, happy home and show him just how beautiful life can be?

DE·Show original

Obelix kam gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Asterix zur Welt, nachdem ihre Mama trächtig als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim gebracht wurde. Hier konnten die beiden Brüder sicher aufwachsen – und nun ist Obelix bereit, sein eigenes Zuhause zu finden. Der kleine Tigerbub ist ein sehr zutraulicher, verschmuster Kater, der Menschen sofort sein Vertrauen schenkt. Er liebt Nähe, genießt Streicheleinheiten und zeigt sich offen, freundlich und verspielt. Mit seinem sanften Wesen und seinem neugierigen Blick gewinnt er schnell jedes Herz. Obelix wünscht sich ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er Geborgenheit, Aufmerksamkeit und ein sicheres Umfeld bekommt. Besonders schön wäre es für ihn, wenn er gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Asterix ausziehen dürfte – die beiden sind ein harmonisches Duo und verstehen sich wunderbar. Eine Einzeladoption ist aber ebenfalls möglich, falls bereits eine Zweitkatze vorhanden ist. Wer möchte Obelix (vielleicht sogar zusammen mit Asterix) ein warmes, glückliches Zuhause schenken und ihm zeigen, wie schön das Leben sein kann?

About Obelix

What life with Obelix looks like

Obelix is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Landestierschutzverein Steiermark in Graz.

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.
