Resi

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

I am Resi. Together with my four siblings, I was led from a hoarder's home to an animal shelter. Here, we were lovingly received, cared for, and given proper medical attention - and slowly, we are learning that life can be quite beautiful. ❤️ I am a young female cat with a rather cautious soul. With people I don't know yet, I prefer to keep my distance and observe quietly at first. I am not mean - I just lack the courage and trust to approach someone directly at first. 🐾 If you take a little time for me, you will notice that patience is worth it. When I understand that I can trust you, I let more and more closeness in and eventually enjoy being petted. 🥰 Then the initial uncertainty slowly gives way and I can relax. In my new home, I therefore wish for above all loving and patient people who do not force anything from me and give me the opportunity to gain trust at my own pace. I may need a little longer to take the first step - but it means all the more when I finally dare. ❤️ Would you like to show me how beautiful it is to really trust a person? Your Resi 🐾

🐾 Hallo, ich bin Resi. Zusammen mit meinen vier Geschwistern führte mich mein Weg aus einem Messie-Haushalt ins Tierheim. Hier wurden wir liebevoll aufgenommen, versorgt und gesund gepflegt – und langsam dürfen wir lernen, dass das Leben auch ganz schön sein kann. ❤️ Ich bin eine junge Katzendame mit einer eher vorsichtigen Seele. Bei Menschen, die ich noch nicht kenne, halte ich mich zunächst lieber etwas zurück und beobachte erst einmal in Ruhe. Ich bin nicht böse – mir fehlt anfangs einfach noch der Mut und das Vertrauen, um direkt auf jemanden zuzugehen. 🐾 Wer sich ein bisschen Zeit für mich nimmt, wird aber merken, dass sich die Geduld lohnt. Wenn ich verstanden habe, dass ich dir vertrauen kann, lasse ich immer mehr Nähe zu und genieße es schließlich auch, gestreichelt zu werden. 🥰 Dann darf die anfängliche Unsicherheit langsam weichen und ich kann mich entspannen. In meinem neuen Zuhause wünsche ich mir deshalb vor allem liebevolle und geduldige Menschen, die nichts von mir erzwingen und mir die Möglichkeit geben, ganz in meinem eigenen Tempo Vertrauen zu fassen. Ich brauche vielleicht ein bisschen länger, um den ersten Schritt zu machen – aber dafür bedeutet es umso mehr, wenn ich mich schließlich traue. ❤️ Möchtest du mir zeigen, wie schön es ist, einem Menschen wirklich vertrauen zu können? Deine Resi 🐾

About Resi

What life with Resi looks like

Resi is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg in Wolfsberg.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇦🇹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 Resi, answered.

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