Oskar

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

For quite some time, I’ve been traveling alone—day after day, I wandered around, looking for a quiet spot to sleep and hoping that someday someone would come looking for me. The people there already knew me; many local residents kept spotting me and asking around, wondering if perhaps I was missing somewhere. But unfortunately, I’m once again one of those cats who doesn’t belong to anyone. Luckily, a particularly kind man took me under his wing—he cared for me and eventually brought me to the animal shelter in Hallein. There, they noticed that I hadn’t been neutered yet, so we drove straight to the vet, and the procedure was done right away. In addition, I received a microchip and underwent a thorough medical examination. The vet estimates that I’m about two years old. Now, I’m ready for a new chapter in my life. I’m a sweet, cuddly house cat and absolutely love every little petting. Still, I’d also like to continue enjoying outdoor access in the future—after all, I’m used to being outside, exploring the world, and letting the sun warm my fur. What’s still missing? A family who loves me, takes good care of me, and where I can finally feel truly at home. People who won’t let me go but will show me just how wonderful a real home can be. I’m really looking forward to your visit—you can meet me on Fridays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the cat house.

Die Eine ganze Weile war ich allein unterwegs - Tag für Tag bin ich herumgestreift, habe mir ein ruhiges Plätzchen zum Schlafen gesucht und gehofft, dass sich irgendwann jemand nach mir umschaut. Die Menschen dort kannten mich schon – viele Anrainer haben mich immer wieder gesehen und herumgefragt, ob ich vielleicht doch irgendwo vermisst werde. Aber leider bin ich wieder einer von denen, die niemandem gehören. Zum Glück hat sich ein besonders lieber Mann meiner angenommen, er hat sich um mich gekümmert und mich schließlich ins Tierheim Hallein gebracht. Dort hat man gesehen, dass ich noch nicht kastiert bin, darum wurde zum Tierarzt gefahren und das wurde gleich erledigt. Außerdem habe ich einen Mikrochip bekommen und wurde gründlich untersucht. Der Tierarzt meint, ich bin ungefähr zwei Jahre alt. - jetzt bin ich bereit für einen neuen Lebensabschnitt. Ich bin ein ganz lieber, verschmuster Stubentiger und genieße jede Streicheleinheit. Trotzdem wünsche ich mir auch in Zukunft wieder Freigang - schließlich bin ich es gewohnt, draußen unterwegs zu sein, die Welt zu erkunden und mir die Sonne auf das Fell scheinen zu lassen. Was mir noch fehlt? Eine Familie, die mich liebt, sich gut um mich kümmert und bei der ich endlich ankommen darf. Menschen, die mich nicht mehr ziehen lassen, sondern mir zeigen, wie schön ein richtiges Zuhause sein kann. Ich freue mich riesig auf euren Besuch – ihr könnt mich freitags von 15:00 bis 17:00 Uhr im Katzenhaus kennenlernen.

About Oskar

What life with Oskar looks like

Oskar is a extra-large adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Hallein in Hallein.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Oskar, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Oskar?
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 Oskar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Oskar 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 Oskar 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 Oskar 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 Oskar 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.
