Ricky

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Hello, my name is Ricky. I was given up to the animal shelter because no one could take care of me anymore. Now I'm looking for my forever dream home! I am a very friendly, cuddly and curious cat. I observe new situations and strangers from a safe distance first, once I have checked everything out, I come and get my petting. I get along very well with other cats. Health-wise I show myself unremarkable. I'm looking for a home with loving people in apartment living. A secure balcony would be the ultimate and I really want to have a cat buddy - if you don't already have a cat, maybe one of my roommates could move out with me? I wish for people who have plenty of time for me and can spend it with me. Sounds perfect for you? Then please get in touch! Your Ricky

Hallöchen,Mein Name ist Ricky. Weil man sich nicht mehr um mich kümmern konnte, wurde ich im Tierheim abgegeben.Jetzt suche ich mein Für-Immer-Traumzuhause!Ich bin ein sehr freundlicher, verschmuster und neugieriger Kater. Neue Situationen und fremde Menschen beobachte ich erstmal aus sicherer Entfernung, sobald ich alles abgecheckt habe, komme ich und hole mir meine Streicheleinheiten ab.Mit anderen Katzen verstehe ich mich sehr gut.Gesundheitlich zeige ich mich unauffällig.Ich suche ein Zuhause bei lieben Menschen in Wohnungshaltung. Ein gesicherter Balkon wäre das Nonplusultra und ich wünsche mir auf jeden Fall einen Katzenkumpel - wenn du noch keine Katze hast, kann ja vielleicht einer meiner Mitbewohner mit mir gemeinsam ausziehen? Ich wünsche mir Menschen die viel Zeit für mich haben und sich mit mir beschäftigen.Klingt perfekt für dich?Dann melde dich doch bitte!Dein Ricky

About Ricky

What life with Ricky looks like

Ricky is a adult mixed breed 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 Ricky, answered.

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