Adopt Wildi

Mixed Breed Cat · Female

Birthdate: Aug. 2025 Looking for a home: with a second cat, free roam Wildi is a feral kitten who initially shows extreme panic towards humans. She has actively maintained distance by hissing, spitting, and approaching people to keep them at a distance. She needs a lot of time to get used to a new environment. Wildi is already familiar with outdoor life and is therefore looking for a free roam spot in a quiet, traffic-free area. For her, a home as a second cat to a social, approximately age-matched cat, with whom she can orient herself, is important. Patient people who give her time and have no expectations of closeness are optimal. This cat needs outdoor access.

Geburtsdatum: Aug. 2025 Zuhause gesucht: bei Zweitkatze, Freigang Wildi ist eine verwilderte Jungkatze, die sich Menschen gegenüber anfangs sehr panisch zeigt. Sie hat aktiv Distanz eingefordert, indem sie gefaucht, gespuckt und auf Menschen zugegangen ist, um sie auf Abstand zu halten. Sie benötigt viel Zeit, um sich an eine neue Umgebung zu gewöhnen. Wildi kennt bereits das Leben draußen und sucht daher einen Freigangsplatz in ruhiger, verkehrsarmer Umgebung. Für sie ist ein Zuhause als Zweitkatze zu einer sozialen, etwa gleichaltrigen Katze, an der sie sich orientieren kann, wichtig. Geduldige Menschen, die ihr Zeit lassen und keine Erwartungen an Nähe haben, sind optimal.

About Wildi

What life with Wildi looks like

Wildi is a small adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

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.

Note from the shelter: Feral kitten requiring extensive socialization, outdoor access essential

🇦🇹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 Wildi, answered.

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