How do I contact the shelter about Onyx?

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 Onyx on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Onyx 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 Onyx 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 Onyx 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 Onyx 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.

Onyx

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

I am Onyx! I was found and am now looking for a home where there is always something going on. Because with me, boredom is definitely not an option! I am a friendly, very active and incredibly playful cat. You could also say that I am a little bit crazy, of course in the nicest sense! I am very approachable and enjoy every play session that is offered to me. Whether it's playing, playing or discovering new things together: the main thing is that something happens! I also get along very well with other cats. However, I am a pretty wild fellow and when playing it gets quite lively with me. That's why I am looking for a second cat who can keep up with my temperament and has just as much fun playing together.Healthwise I am unremarkable.For my new home I wish for people who like to spend time with me and have the desire to keep me busy. A suitable, also active and playful second cat is a must for me. Together we can then play, romp and provide plenty of entertainment at heart's content.If you are looking for a little whirlwind and are in the mood for plenty of play sessions, then please contact the animal shelter. I look forward to getting to know you!Your Onyx

Hallo, ich bin Onyx!Ich wurde gefunden und bin nun auf der Suche nach einem Zuhause, in dem ordentlich etwas los sein darf. Denn mit mir zieht definitiv keine Langeweile ein!Ich bin ein freundlicher, sehr aktiver und unglaublich verspielter Kater. Man könnte auch sagen, dass ich ein kleines bisschen verrückt bin, natürlich im allerliebsten Sinne! Ich bin sehr zugänglich und freue mich über jede Spieleinheit, die mir angeboten wird. Ob gemeinsam toben, spielen oder neue Dinge entdecken: Hauptsache, es passiert etwas! Auch mit anderen Katzen verstehe ich mich sehr gut. Allerdings bin ich selbst ein ziemlich wilder Geselle und beim Spielen geht es bei mir gerne einmal ordentlich zur Sache. Deshalb suche ich unbedingt eine Zweitkatze, die mit meinem Temperament mithalten kann und genauso viel Freude am gemeinsamen Toben hat.Gesundheitlich zeige ich mich unauffällig.Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir Menschen, die gerne Zeit mit mir verbringen und Lust darauf haben, mich ausgiebig zu beschäftigen. Eine passende, ebenfalls aktive und verspielte Zweitkatze ist für mich unbedingt Voraussetzung. Gemeinsam können wir dann nach Herzenslust spielen, toben und für jede Menge Unterhaltung sorgen.Wenn du einen kleinen Wirbelwind suchst und Lust auf jede Menge gemeinsame Spieleinheiten hast, dann melde dich gerne im Tierheim. Ich freue mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen!Dein Onyx

About Onyx

What life with Onyx looks like

Onyx 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.
