How do I contact the shelter about Pizza?

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

Can I adopt Pizza if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg 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 Pizza 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 Pizza 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 Wolfsberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pizza 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.

Pizza

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

🖤 May I introduce myself? I am a beautiful black tomcat – with glossy fur, alert eyes, and a story that isn't visible at first glance. My life didn't begin on a soft pillow. I came from the streets. There, I had to learn to be strong. I fought for food, for my place, for my survival. I experienced some fights – and I still carry the marks of them. With wounds on my back and belly, I finally arrived here. But that is now behind me. My wounds have healed. My fur has grown back. My body has recovered. And my heart? It's still cautious. For now, I am a bit shy. New sounds, quick movements – all of that makes me wary. But I am curious. If you think I'm not looking, I'm watching you very closely. I want to trust. I just need a little time. With love. With patience. With a safe home. I am no longer a fighter. I don't seek a fight. I seek a person who understands that trust can grow. If you give me this chance, I promise you: I will open up. Step by step. And once I'm settled, you'll see how much gentleness is in me. Maybe I can find my forever home with you?

🖤 Darf ich mich vorstellen? Ich bin ein wunderschöner schwarzer Kater – mit glänzendem Fell, wachen Augen und einer Geschichte, die man nicht auf den ersten Blick sieht. Mein Leben begann nicht auf einem weichen Kissen. Ich komme von der Straße. Dort musste ich lernen, stark zu sein. Ich habe um Futter gekämpft, um meinen Platz, um mein Überleben. Dabei habe ich einige Raufereien erlebt – und die Spuren davon getragen. Mit Verletzungen an Rücken und Bauch kam ich schließlich hier an. Doch das liegt nun hinter mir. Meine Wunden sind verheilt. Mein Fell ist wieder nachgewachsen. Mein Körper hat sich erholt. Und mein Herz? Das ist noch vorsichtig. Im Moment bin ich noch etwas scheu. Neue Geräusche, schnelle Bewegungen – all das macht mich wachsam. Aber ich bin neugierig. Wenn du glaubst, ich schaue nicht hin, beobachte ich dich ganz genau. Ich möchte vertrauen. Ich brauche nur ein bisschen Zeit. Mit Liebe. Mit Geduld. Mit einem sicheren Zuhause. Ich bin kein Draufgänger mehr. Ich suche keinen Kampf. Ich suche einen Menschen, der versteht, dass Vertrauen wachsen darf. Wenn du mir diese Chance gibst, verspreche ich dir: Ich werde mich öffnen. Schritt für Schritt. Und wenn ich erst einmal angekommen bin, wirst du sehen, wie viel Sanftheit in mir steckt. Vielleicht darf ich ja bei dir mein Für-immer-Zuhause finden? 🖤

About Pizza

What life with Pizza looks like

Pizza is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg in Wolfsberg.

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.
