Taro

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Taro ist ein verspielter und liebenswerter, junger Kater. Fremden Personen kann er zunächst noch etwas schüchterner gegenübertreten, nach einer kurzen Kennenlernphase ist das Eis aber rasch gebrochen und er kann dann ausgelassene Spieleinheiten genießen. Aufgrund einer Herpesvirusinfektion (FHV) wird er nur in reine Wohnungshaltung vergeben und es werden regelmäßige tierärztliche Kontrollen notwendig sein. Taro sucht eine liebevolle Familie, in der schon eine passende Zweitkatze lebt oder, in welche er gemeinsam mit einer Katze aus seiner Gruppe einziehen darf.

About Taro

What life with Taro looks like

Taro is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzhaus Sonnenhof in Eisenstadt.

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 Taro, answered.

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