Hallo, ich bin SAYA! Im Tierheim seit: 12.08.2025, Privatabgabe Unterbringung: Wohnung Gesellschaft: Ich brauche auf jeden Fall eine nette, ruhige Zweitkatze an meiner Seite. Entweder es ist bereits so eine Samtpfote im neuen Zuhause, oder ich werde mit meiner Gefährtin LEYA (25324) gemeinsam vermittelt. :) So bin ich: Sehr zurückhaltend, ein bisschen skeptisch euch Menschen gegenüber. Ich bin vorsichtig und muss mir zuerst sicher sein, dass du es gut mit mir meinst, bevor ich dich an mich heranlasse. Hinweis: Ruhiger Haushalt, keine Kleinkinder!!! Wichtig: Saya leidet rassebedingt an OCD (Osteochondrodysplasie) - einer rassetypischen genetischen Krankheit, die Knorpel- und Skelettveränderungen auslöst. Symptome sind Schmerzen des gesamten Bewegungsapparates (benötigt bereits Schmerzmittel).

About Saya

What life with Saya looks like

Saya is a small young adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Wels in Wels.

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.

Note from the shelter: Suffers from OCD (Osteochondrodysplasia) - a breed-typical genetic disease causing cartilage and skeletal changes. Symptoms include lameness, stiffness and behavioral changes. Needs quiet household.

🇦🇹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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Saya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Saya?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Wels handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Saya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Saya if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Wels 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Saya 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 Saya 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 Tierheim Wels early rather than rehoming privately; they know Saya 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.
