Tabasco

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

I am Tabasco. I was found as a stray and brought to the shelter. Since I don't seem to belong to anyone, I am now looking for a new home. I am a friendly cat. I am initially very uncertain and skittish around strangers or in unfamiliar situations, but once I gain trust, I show myself to be a cuddly companion. I love playing. I get along well with other cats. I am healthy, but I still need some practice with vet visits. I am looking for a home with loving people who will give me time to settle in and open up. Children in the household should be a bit older. I would really love to have a friendly second cat. Want to meet me? Please get in touch! Your Tabasco

Halli-Hallo,Ich heiße Tabasco. Streunend wurde ich draußen gefunden und wurde ins Tierheim gebracht. Da ich wohl niemandem zu gehören scheine, suche ich nun ein neues Zuhause.Ich bin ein freundlicher Kater. Bei fremden Menschen oder in fremden Situationen bin ich anfangs sehr unsicher und schreckhaft, sobald ich aber vertrauen gefasst habe, zeige ich mich als verschmuster Zeitgenosse. Spielen finde ich ganz toll.Mit anderen Katzen bin ich gut verträglich.Gesundheitlich zeige ich mich unauffällig, Tierarztbesuche sollten mit mir noch ein wenig geübt werden.Ich suche ein Zuhause bei lieben Menschen die mir Zeit geben um anzukommen und mich zu öffnen. Kinder im Haushalt sollten schon ein wenig größer sein. Über eine freundliche Zweitkatze würde ich mich sehr freuen.Willst du mich kennenlernen?Bitte melden!Dein Tabasco

About Tabasco

What life with Tabasco looks like

Tabasco is a young 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 Tabasco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tabasco?
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 Tabasco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tabasco 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 Tabasco 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 Tabasco 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 Tabasco 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.
