Animal shelters in Austria

We receive numberous posts offering pets for sale or for free. We have been told by a registered vet that this is illegal unless you are a registered breeder.

If you need to pass on a pet please contact your local animal shelter (Tierheim). There is a list here organised by province: https://katze-und-du.at/aktuell/tierschutz-oesterreich/tierheime-oesterreich.html

Of course, also contact your local animal shelters if you want to buy a pet too: you might make an animal very happy, you will receive great advice and your will know that your pet is healthy, fully vaccinated, chipped etc.
