Adopt Phönix

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Hello, my name is Phönix. I was found running free and brought to the animal shelter as no one claimed me. I am searching for a new home. I am a friendly and sensitive tomcat. In unfamiliar situations, I react cautiously and need a little time to settle in. Once I feel comfortable, I show my cuddly and playful side. I get along well with friendly and relaxed cats and am very polite and rather reserved here. Health-wise, I am unobtrusive. I am looking for a home with loving people who will give me time to settle in. You can already have a relaxed cat in your home. As I am very sensitive, children should be older. Do you want to give me a future? Then please get in touch!

Hallöchen,Mein Name ist Phönix.Ich wurde freilaufend gefunden und ins Tierheim gebracht, da sich niemand für mich gemeldet hat, suche ich eine neue Bleibe.Ich bin ein freundlicher und sensibler Kater. In fremden Situationen reagiere ich vorsichtig und brauche ein wenig Zeit um mich zurechtzufinden. Fühle ich mich wohl, zeige ich meine verschmuste und verspielte Seite.Mit freundlichen und entspannten Katzen verstehe ich mich gut und zeige mich hier sehr höflich und eher zurückhaltend.Gesundheitlich zeige ich mich unauffällig.Ich suche ein Zuhause bei lieben Menschen die mir Zeit geben um mich zurechtzufinden. Gerne darf schon eine entspannte Katze bei dir wohnen. Da ich sehr sensibel bin, sollten Kinder schon größer sein.Willst du mir eine Zukunft schenken?Dann melde dich bitte!Dein Phönix

About Phönix

What life with Phönix looks like

Phönix is a young adult european shorthair 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Phönix, answered.

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