Adopt Shizuka

Female · Young · 2 years

Shizuka came to us at the animal shelter as a stray and quickly turned out to be a real cuddle queen. She loves being close to people and savors every stroke. In her new home, Shizuka would love the option of safe outdoor access so she can enjoy fresh air and sunshine securely. Due to a heart condition, she relies on medication that must be given twice a day at set times. That’s why we are looking for especially reliable people who can provide her with this important routine. Shizuka has a huge amount of love to give – and in return, she is looking for a home where someone takes responsibility and offers her the care she needs.

Shizuka kam als Fundkatze zu uns ins Tierheim und hat sich hier schnell als echte Schmusekönigin entpuppt. Sie liebt die Nähe zum Menschen und genießt jede Streicheleinheit in vollen Zügen. Für ihr neues Zuhause wünscht sich Shizuka die Möglichkeit zum gesicherten Freigang, damit sie frische Luft und Sonne sicher genießen kann. Aufgrund einer Herzerkrankung ist sie auf Medikamente angewiesen, die zweimal täglich zu festen Zeiten verabreicht werden müssen. Daher suchen wir für sie besonders zuverlässige Menschen, die ihr diese wichtige Routine bieten können. Shizuka bringt ganz viel Liebe mit – und sucht im Gegenzug ein Zuhause, in dem man Verantwortung übernimmt und ihr die Fürsorge schenkt, die sie braucht.

About Shizuka

What life with Shizuka looks like

Shizuka is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Linz in Linz.

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 Shizuka, answered.

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