Amara

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Amara was born around September 2024. The rosy beige spotted Amara was found on the street with her mother and siblings and both were able to move in with a loving woman. Now that the circumstances of the animal rescuer have changed, she can no longer keep Amara. So Amara found shelter in the intake station. The Spaniard Amara is a friendly and calm female cat. She is playful, loves cuddles, and is attached to people. Now, Amara wishes for a home with a Gspändli with FREIGANG (far away from busy streets) or a large cat-safe netted balcony or terrace. Perhaps Amara will have luck and be allowed to move into her home with her sister Ariel. Amara is neutered, tested, microchipped, and vaccinated and will be rehomed with a Tierschutzbrief. This cat needs outdoor access.

Amara wurde ca. im September 2024 geboren. Die rötlich beige getigerte Amara wurde mit ihrer Mutter und ihren Geschwistern auf der Strasse gefunden und beide durften zu einer tierliebenden Frau ziehen. Nun haben sich die Lebensumstände der Tierschützerin geändert und sie konnte Amara nicht mehr behalten. So fand Amara nun Unterschlupf in der Auffangstation. Die Spanierin Amara ist eine freundliche und ruhige Katzendame. Sie ist verspielt, liebt Streicheleinheiten und ist dem Menschen zugetan. Nun wünscht sich Amara ein Zuhause zu einem Gspändli mit FREIGANG (weit weg von stark befahrenen Strassen) oder einen grossen vernetzten Balkon/Terrasse. Vielleicht hat Amara Glück und darf zusammen mit ihrer Freundin Rosi in ihr Zuhause im Glück ziehen. Amara ist kastriert, getestet, gechippt und geimpft und wird mit dem Tierschutzbrief vermittelt.

About Amara

What life with Amara looks like

Amara is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Waisenkatzen.ch in Waisenkatzen.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Amara, answered.

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