Semi und Skittles

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 5 months

Semy and Skittles, hello! We spent the first weeks of our lives on a company premises - for us, it was just normal - growing up among buildings, cars and all sorts of noises and learning to take care of ourselves as best we could. We were small, quick and knew exactly when to slow down and get to safety. But fortunately, it was over, we were secured and landed with our siblings at the Hallein animal shelter. For two little wildcats like us, that was of course a pretty big change - suddenly there were people who wanted to take care of us, and we had to figure out what to make of it. So we decided to approach the situation very professionally - observe, wait and just don't trust too quickly. We're not that strict anymore, though - especially when a feather toy appears, our dignified reserve is quickly gone and we become two little whirlwinds - even treats have proven to be quite convincing arguments. We're now about 4.5 months old and have developed into two lively, playful tomcat boys. A bit of wildcat is still in us, so we still need some time with new people. We want to decide for ourselves when we're ready for the next step. But once we've gained trust, we show that we really enjoy our humans' attention. Then we play, observe, romp around and increasingly seek out their company. We're microchipped and dewormed and think we're really old enough for our own adventure now.

Die Hallo, wir sind Semy und Skittles! Wir haben die ersten Wochen unseres Lebens auf einem Firmengelände verbracht - für uns war das ganz normal – zwischen Gebäuden, Autos und allerlei Geräuschen aufzuwachsen und dabei möglichst gut selbst zurechtzukommen. Wir waren klein, flink und wussten ziemlich genau, wann man besser einen Gang zurückschaltet und sich in Sicherheit bringt. Irgendwann war aber zum Glück Schluss damit, wir wurden gesichert und sind gemeinsam mit unseren Geschwistern im Tierheim Hallein gelandet. Für zwei kleine Wildfänge wie uns war das natürlich erst einmal eine ziemlich große Umstellung - plötzlich waren da Menschen, die sich um uns kümmern wollten, und wir mussten erst einmal herausfinden, was wir davon halten. Also haben wir beschlossen, die Sache ganz professionell anzugehen - beobachten, abwarten und bloß nicht zu schnell Vertrauen schenken. Ganz so streng sind wir inzwischen allerdings nicht mehr - vor allem dann nicht, wenn ein Federspiel auftaucht, da ist es mit unserer vornehmen Zurückhaltung schnell vorbei und wir werden zu zwei kleinen Wirbelwinden - auch Schleckies haben sich als durchaus überzeugendes Argument erwiesen. Mittlerweile sind wir ungefähr 4,5 Monate alt und haben uns zu zwei aufgeweckten, verspielten Katerbuben entwickelt. Ein bisschen Wildfang steckt natürlich noch in uns und deshalb brauchen wir bei neuen Menschen nach wie vor etwas Zeit. Wir wollen schließlich selbst entscheiden, wann wir bereit für den nächsten Schritt sind. Haben wir aber erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, zeigen wir, dass wir die Aufmerksamkeit unserer Menschen richtig genießen können. Dann wird gespielt, beobachtet, herumgetobt und immer öfter auch die Nähe gesucht. Wir sind gechippt und entwurmt und finden, dass wir jetzt wirklich alt genug für unser eigenes Abenteuer sind.

About Semi und Skittles

What life with Semi und Skittles looks like

Semi und Skittles is a large kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Hallein in Hallein.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Semi und Skittles, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Semi und Skittles?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hallein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Semi und Skittles on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Semi und Skittles if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hallein 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 Semi und Skittles 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 Semi und Skittles 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 Hallein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Semi und Skittles 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.
