Fiete

Male · Adult · 4 years

Fiete came to our shelter as a found cat, so we unfortunately don't know anything about his previous life. The handsome red-and-white tabby cat initially shows himself to be shy and cautious. However, if you approach him calmly and give him some time, you'll quickly notice that there's a kind soul behind his reserve. Fiete is particularly sensitive to unusual or sudden noises. These can quickly frighten him, which is why we're looking for a quiet and orderly home for him. Small children would probably be too much of a disturbance for the startled cat, so we're looking for a household without small children. After a sufficiently long acclimation period, Fiete would like to have the opportunity to go outside again. An ideal location would be a quiet residential area with little traffic, where he can explore his surroundings at his own pace. We're looking for patient people who can give Fiete a little time at the beginning and give him the security he needs to gain trust.

Fiete kam als Fundkater zu uns ins Tierheim, weshalb wir über sein bisheriges Leben leider nichts wissen. Bei uns zeigt sich der hübsche rot-weiß getigerte Kater zunächst eher schüchtern und vorsichtig. Begegnet man ihm ruhig und gibt ihm etwas Zeit, merkt man jedoch schnell, dass hinter seiner Zurückhaltung ein lieber Kerl steckt. Besonders empfindlich reagiert Fiete auf ungewohnte oder plötzliche Geräusche. Diese können ihn schnell erschrecken, weshalb wir für ihn ein eher ruhiges und geregeltes Zuhause suchen. Kleine Kinder wären für den schreckhaften Kater vermutlich zu viel Trubel, daher wünschen wir uns einen Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder. Fiete möchte nach einer ausreichend langen Eingewöhnungszeit wieder die Möglichkeit zum Freigang bekommen. Ideal wäre eine verkehrsarme, ruhige Wohngegend, in der er seine Umgebung in seinem eigenen Tempo erkunden kann. Gesucht werden geduldige Menschen, die Fiete anfangs ein wenig Zeit schenken und ihm die Sicherheit vermitteln, die er braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen.

About Fiete

What life with Fiete looks like

Fiete is a 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 Fiete, answered.

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