Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Kitten · 2 months

I was actually quite busy—four little kittens, about 8 weeks old, trailing behind me, always on the lookout for a somewhat safe spot. And of course, I also had to make sure everyone got fed—no easy task when you live outdoors. Our home had been a large company property—completely normal for us. Among buildings, cars, and lots of unfamiliar noises, we somehow managed to get by—until one day, an attentive man spotted us and reported our presence. Shortly thereafter, our exciting life on the streets came to an end: we were secured and moved together to the animal shelter in Hallein. Here, for the first time, we no longer have to worry about where to find our next meal or whether we’ll have a safe place to sleep. Honestly, that’s quite a big adjustment. Yet, we still aren’t quite sure what to think of people—life has taught us to keep our distance at first. So for now, we prefer to observe our caregivers from a safe distance. But they’re really making a huge effort to convince us otherwise—with delicious food, patience, and lots of understanding. We’re still very shy and simply need time; after all, trust can’t be learned overnight. Still, each day we become just a tiny bit braver and start discovering that life doesn’t have to consist solely of hiding and running away. It’ll take a little more time before we’re ready for our own forever home, but we’re optimistic that the right people will eventually come along for us, too.

Die Ich hatte eigentlich alle Pfoten voll zu tun - vier kleine Katzenkinder, ca. 8 Wochen alt, im Schlepptau, immer auf der Suche nach einem halbwegs sicheren Plätzchen und ganz nebenbei musste ich natürlich auch noch dafür sorgen, dass alle satt werden- gar nicht so einfach, wenn man draußen lebt. Unser Zuhause war bisher ein großes Firmengelände - für uns war das völlig normal – zwischen Gebäuden, Autos und vielen unbekannten Geräuschen haben wir uns irgendwie durchgeschlagen, bis uns eines Tages ein aufmerksamer und Mann entdeckt und unsere Sichtung gemeldet hat. Kurze Zeit später war unser aufregendes Straßenleben vorbei, wir wurden gesichert und sind gemeinsam ins Tierheim Hallein gezogen. Hier müssen wir uns zum ersten Mal keine Gedanken mehr darüber machen, wo wir die nächste Mahlzeit finden oder ob wir einen sicheren Schlafplatz haben. Ehrlich gesagt ist das schon eine ziemliche Umstellung. Noch wissen wir allerdings nicht so recht, was wir von den Menschen halten sollen, das Leben hat uns beigebracht, lieber zuerst einmal Abstand zu halten, deshalb beobachten wir unsere Dosenöffner momentan lieber aus sicherer Entfernung. Sie geben sich aber wirklich große Mühe, uns vom Gegenteil zu überzeugen – mit leckerem Futter, Geduld und ganz viel Verständnis. Wir sind noch sehr scheu und brauchen einfach Zeit, Vertrauen kann man schließlich nicht über Nacht lernen, aber jeden Tag werden wir ein kleines bisschen mutiger und entdecken, dass das Leben gar nicht nur aus Verstecken und Davonlaufen bestehen muss. Bis wir bereit für ein eigenes Zuhause sind, wird es noch etwas dauern, doch wir sind guter Dinge, dass auch für uns irgendwann die richtigen Menschen kommen.

About Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten

What life with Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten looks like

Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten is a large puppy/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; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten?
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 Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten 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 Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten 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 Shanti und ihre 4 Kitten 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.
