Siena

Female · Senior · 3 years

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler When it comes to relationships, I am very cautious. I don't rush into anything, you know what I mean. But give me some time, and I will reward you with purring, snuggling, and plenty of time on your lap. In the meantime, you might not see much of me, but I think about you a lot! My name is Siena...and I live under a blanket or a rug. There it is quiet. There I feel safe. I am not a cat who hisses or scratches. If you pet me, I will let you. Even being lifted is okay for me, for example, when I need to go into a box. I am not afraid of people – I am afraid of the world. Of noises, of changes, of too much closeness at once. Maybe one day I will come out of my hiding place. Maybe not. No one can promise that today. What I wish for is no pressure, no expectations, and no "she must come out eventually." I need a very quiet home, many hiding spots, soft places, and people who will give me time – a lot of time. Time to just be there. Or to be invisible. If you can give me a warm, cuddly home without expecting anything in return, I could arrive with you. Maybe quietly. Maybe slowly. Maybe just a little bit.

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler Wenn es um Beziehungen geht, bin ich sehr besonnen. Ich überstürze nichts, wenn du weißt was ich meine. Aber gib mir ein wenig Zeit und ich werde dich mit Schnurren, Anschmiegen und reichlich Zeit auf deinem Schoß belohnen. Bis dahin kann es sein, dass du nicht viel von mir siehst, aber ich denke oft an dich! Ich heiße Siena...und ich lebe unter einer Decke oder einem Teppich. Dort ist es ruhig. Dort fühle ich mich sicher. Ich bin keine Katze, die faucht oder kratzt. Wenn man mich streichelt, lasse ich es zu. Auch hochheben ist für mich okay, zum Beispiel wenn ich in eine Box muss. Ich habe keine Angst vor Menschen – ich habe Angst vor der Welt. Vor Geräuschen, vor Veränderungen, vor zu viel Nähe auf einmal. Vielleicht werde ich eines Tages aus meinem Versteck kommen. Vielleicht auch nicht. Das kann heute niemand versprechen. Was ich mir wünsche, ist kein Druck, keine Erwartungen und kein „sie muss doch irgendwann“. Ich brauche ein sehr ruhiges Zuhause, viele Verstecke, weiche Plätze und Menschen, die mir Zeit schenken – ganz viel Zeit. Zeit, einfach da zu sein. Oder unsichtbar zu sein. Wenn du mir ein warmes, kuscheliges Zuhause geben kannst, ohne etwas zurückzuverlangen, dann könnte ich bei dir ankommen. Vielleicht leise. Vielleicht langsam. Vielleicht nur ein kleines bisschen. Ihre Spende wird zweckgemäß und sparsam eingesetzt. Bitte unterstützen Sie uns mit dem Kauf von Futterspenden! Adresse und wie Sie am besten zu uns finden.

About Siena

What life with Siena looks like

Siena is a small senior cat waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

Note from the shelter: Extremely shy and anxious cat requiring very quiet home with many hiding places and patient owners who don't expect immediate affection

🇦🇹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 Siena, answered.

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