Steve

European Shorthair · Male

Halli-Hallo,Mein Name ist Steve! Im Zuge einer behördlichen Abnahme kam ich ins Tierheim und suche nun eine neue Bleibe.Ich bin ein freundlicher, aber aktuell noch sehr schüchterner Kater. An die neue Situation habe ich mich noch nicht ganz gewöhnt und ziehe mich deshalb sehr zurück. Bei vertrauten Personen beginne ich schon erste Streicheleinheiten zu genießen und meine Tierpflegerinnen sind sich ganz sicher, dass ich in einem stabilen Umfeld ein richtiger Schmusebär werde.Mit anderen Katzen verstehe ich mich sehr gut.Gesundheitlich zeige ich mich unauffällig.Ich suche ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung bei lieben Menschen die mir die Zeit geben die ich brauche. Da ich eher sensibler bin, sollte nicht all zu viel Trubel herrschen und Kinder schon aus dem Gröbsten draußen sein. Ein Katzenkumpel ist unbedingt notwendig, ganz alleine möchte ich nicht sein! Gerne kann auch einer meiner Tierheimfreunde mit mir ausziehen.Willst du mir eine Chance geben?Dann bitte melden!Dein Steve

About Steve

What life with Steve looks like

Steve is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein St. Pölten in St. Pölten.

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 Steve, answered.

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