How do I contact the shelter about Penny?

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

Can I adopt Penny if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 Penny 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 Penny 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 TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Penny 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.

Penny

Female · Senior

I am just a good companion, as befits a best friend. I like attention and I also like my solitude. I'm not looking for trouble, but I'm not a coward either. If you are looking for a constant companion who travels the road of life with you, you don't need to look further. Actually, as a young cat, my whole life is still ahead of me - and that's exactly why I'm finally looking for my forever home. When I came to the shelter, I was initially quite shy. Everything was new, strange and a bit uncanny. But I settled in well and over time I realized that people are not so bad. Today I show more and more of my kind side and am waiting for someone to finally come where I can really arrive. One little quirk I have, however: I am sometimes a bit picky about food. A lady must have demands! So you might have to figure out what's on my personal menu. Maybe you are the person I've been waiting for all this time. 🐾 Your donation will be used appropriately and sparingly. Please support us with the purchase of food donations!

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler Wie es sich für einen besten Kumpel gehört, bin ich einfach nur eine gute Gesellschaft. Ich mag Aufmerksamkeit und ich mag auch meine Einsamkeit. Ich bin nicht auf der Suche nach Ärger, aber ich bin auch kein Angsthase. Wenn du auf der Suche nach einem ständigen Gefährten bist, der mit dir die Straße des Lebens bereist, brauchst du nicht weitersuchen. Eigentlich habe ich als Jungkatze mein ganzes Leben noch vor mir – und genau deshalb wünsche ich mir jetzt endlich mein Zuhause für immer. Als ich ins Tierheim kam, war ich zunächst ziemlich scheu. Alles war neu, fremd und ein bisschen unheimlich. Aber ich habe mich gut eingelebt und mit der Zeit gemerkt, dass Menschen gar nicht so schlecht sind. Heute zeige ich immer mehr von meiner lieben Seite und warte nun darauf, dass endlich jemand kommt, bei dem ich wirklich ankommen darf. Eine kleine Eigenheit habe ich allerdings: Beim Futter bin ich manchmal etwas wählerisch. Eine Dame darf schließlich Ansprüche haben! Man muss also vielleicht ein bisschen herausfinden, was auf meinem persönlichen Speiseplan ganz oben steht. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, auf den ich die ganze Zeit gewartet habe. 🐾 Ihre Spende wird zweckgemäß und sparsam eingesetzt. Bitte unterstützen Sie uns mit dem Kauf von Futterspenden!

About Penny

What life with Penny looks like

Penny is a senior cat waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇦🇹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.
