Adopt Penelope

Maine Coon · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Penelope is looking for a new suitable home, as her previous owner can no longer meet her needs. She wishes for Penelope to have a home with fellow animals and people who can give her the attention she so desperately craves. At our animal shelter, she gets along well with most of the cats, but she still hasn't figured out what she thinks of them yet. Currently, she keeps other cats at a distance with hisses when her tolerance limit is reached, but sharing food and playing together works very well. Since her threats can be quite intimidating, any existing cats should be confident and ideally not react to her behavior 😅. Otherwise, Penelope is a friendly, playful cat who loves being with her people. In quiet moments, she enjoys being on elevated spots like catwalks or ceiling-high scratching posts, having everything in her sight 🙃. She would also be happy with a (secure) balcony. Maine Coon enthusiasts and people with experience with cats and their companionship will have a great time with Penelope. We ask interested parties to not base their inquiries solely on appearance and to only contact us if Penelope fits into the future household. Penelope can of course be visited for an informal meeting so that potential new owners can see if there's a connection ♥ Do you think you are the right person for Penelope or would you like to get to know her better? Then contact the animal shelter Wörgl: 0664 – 849 5351 t -> Back to the cat overview Interested? Click here and contact us!

Penelope ist auf der Suche nach einem neuen passenden Zuhause, da ihre Vorbesitzerin ihren Anforderungen leider nicht mehr gerecht werden kann. Sie wünscht sich für Penelope ein Zuhause bei Artgenossen und Menschen, die viel Zeit für sie haben damit sie die Aufmerksamkeit bekommt die sie so sehr sucht. Bei uns im Tierheim kommt sie mit den meisten Katzen bereits gut klar, weiß aber noch nicht wirklich was sie von ihnen halten soll. Aktuell hält sie die anderen noch mit Fauchen auf Abstand sobald ihre Toleranzgrenze unterschritten wird, nebeneinander Fressen und Spielen klappt aber schon sehr gut. Da ihre Drohungen etwas furchteinflößend wirken können, sollten bereits vorhandene Katzen auf jeden Fall souverän sein und im Idealfall nicht auf ihr Gehabe eingehen 😅 Ansonsten ist Penelope eine zutrauliche, verspielte Katze die gerne bei ihren Menschen ist. In ruhigen Momenten mag sie es, von erhöhten Plätzen wie Catwalks oder deckenhohen Kratzbäumen alles im Blick zu haben 🙂 Auch über einen (gesicherten) Balkon würde sie sich freuen. Maine Coon Liebhaber und Menschen die Erfahrung mit Katzen und deren Vergesellschaftung haben, werden mit Penelope eine große Freude haben. Wir bitten Interessenten, von Anfragen nur aufgrund ihres Aussehens abzusehen und sich wirklich nur zu melden, wenn Penelope in den zukünftigen Haushalt passt. Penelope kann selbstverständlich besucht werden für ein unverbindliches Kennenlernen, damit ihre potenziellen neuen Dosenöffner schauen können ob die Chemie passt ♥ Sie meinen, Sie sind der richtige Mensch für Penelope oder möchten sie näher kennenlernen? Dann nehmen Sie mit dem Tierheim Wörgl Kontakt auf: 0664 – 849 5351 t -> Zurück zur Katzenübersicht Interesse? Hier klicken und Kontakt aufnehmen!

About Penelope

What life with Penelope looks like

Penelope is a large young adult maine coon cat waiting at Tierschutzverein für Tirol in Innsbruck.

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 Penelope, answered.

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